The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, looking at what’s on offer for Seignosse - Les Estagnots over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, the outlook for Les Estagnots is pretty bleak for a while. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak, and mostly onshore or choppy surf. From Thursday the 16th right through to Monday the 27th of July, the swell is consistently below 3ft, with short periods around 5-6 seconds, and the wind is almost always ruining it. The combined wave energy is weak, sitting way below 100 (like 30–89) for most of that time. There are a few mornings with light offshore or glassy conditions, but the swell just isn't there to make it worth paddling out.
The first real standout doesn’t show up until Tuesday the 28th of July. That morning, the swell bumps up to 3.5ft from the WNW with a period of 7 seconds, and combined energy hits 135 (moderate). The wind is light and onshore though, so it’s a bit rough. The afternoon gets a little bigger at 4ft (183 energy), but the cross-onshore wind makes it choppy.
Now, Wednesday the 29th of July is the best we’re going to see. The morning brings 5ft from the WNW with a period of 8 seconds and energy jumping to 306 (strong). It’s a cross-onshore breeze but only 6 mph, so there’s some hope for semi-clean faces. This is expert territory though – at 5ft, it’s getting too big for beginners. The afternoon stays solid at 5ft+ (364 energy), but the wind picks up and gets choppier. Still, it’s the most energy we’ve seen all forecast.
Thursday the 30th holds at 5ft (362 energy) in the morning, but a strong 15 mph onshore wind will wreck it. The afternoon drops slightly to 4.5ft (327 energy) with a lighter onshore breeze, but it’s still not great.
After that, Friday the 31st of July fades back to 4ft (216 energy) with onshore wind and even a risk of thunderstorms. Not a good way to end the period.
So for the whole 16 days, if you’re an expert hungry for some size, the only real window is the morning of Wednesday the 29th of July. It’s not perfect, but it’s the best we’ve got. Crowds are inevitable at this spot, so expect company.
