The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Let’s keep it real – Seignosse - Les Estagnots is looking pretty dead for the next week or so. We’ve got a long stretch of flatness before anything worth paddling for shows up.
Right now, the water’s sitting at a warm 76°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – nearly three degrees above average. You’ll feel it. But that’s the only thing worth talking about. From Sunday the 16th through Tuesday the 19th, it’s tiny and messy. Swell heights are 1ft to 3ft, periods of 4 to 8 seconds, and mostly cross-onshore winds. Combined energy is weak – numbers like 14 to 95. Not worth the walk.
Wednesday the 20th morning shows a little pulse – 2ft NW groundswell with a 10-second period, glassy, and a combined energy of 125 (moderate). It’s surfable, but ordinary. Afternoon gets chopped by a 12 mph NNW cross-shore.
Thursday the 21st morning is the first real standout. That NW swell hits 5ft with an 11-second period – real groundswell. Glassy, combined energy of 457 (strong), and it’s an expert wave. Remember, longer period can make beach breaks wall up, but it’s your best early bet. Crowds are likely.
Friday the 22nd morning is still rideable with 3ft at 9 seconds and glass, but it’s ordinary. Then we hit a gap of average or poor conditions through the 29th. There are clean mornings like the 25th with offshore wind and 4ft, but the period is short (7 seconds) and energy moderate (149) – just not special.
Now, Sunday the 30th of August morning – that’s the standout. 4ft NW groundswell with a 9-second period, offshore ESE breeze at 6 mph, clean, combined energy of 287 (moderate to strong). It’s an expert spot, so mark it. It’s a long way out, so promising but not locked in.
Monday the 31st of August morning gets bigger – 6ft from the WNW with a short 7-second period, glassy, and 294 combined energy. That’s solid for experts, but the short period makes it lumpy. By afternoon it pushes to 7ft with onshore wind – expert-only and messy.
So, if you’re keen, Thursday the 21st morning is your first real go. The standout is Sunday the 30th morning – glassy, clean, and solid. But don’t expect much before that. It’s been quiet, but forecasts can change.
Stay salty,
Rusty
