Seignosse - Les Estagnots Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on the table for Seignosse - Les Estagnots over the next couple of weeks. The water temp is sitting pretty average for this time of year, nothing weird going on there.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a slow start. Monday morning is the only time in the first few days that’s worth paddling out. The waves are 4 ft from the NW with a period of 11 seconds, giving us a moderate energy (389). That’s a proper groundswell, and with the wind glassy out of the east, it’s going to be as clean as a whistle. That morning is the pick of the early days.

After that, it goes flat and ugly for a stretch. Tuesday and Wednesday are a write-off with small, weak surf and onshore winds chopping everything up. The energy drops right off (122 and 231). Not worth getting wet.

Things start looking up on Thursday the 17th morning. We’ve got a clean 6 ft NW swell, 11-second period, and glassy conditions again. The combined energy is 677, a solid step up. This is good, proper surf. The afternoon gets messy with the cross-onshore, so get it early.

Friday the 18th is a bit of a mixed bag. The morning is poor, but the afternoon bumps up to 6 ft (647 energy) – though it’s still a bit choppy. Marginal, not a standout.

Now, here’s where it gets exciting. Saturday the 19th morning is a true standout. We’ve got 7 ft of NW swell with a long 13-second period, giving us a strong 1325 energy. The wind is offshore out of the ESE, light, and the waves are clean. This is excellent for experienced surfers. That’s the one to circle.

Sunday the 20th morning is still good with 4 ft and offshore easterly wind (396 energy), clean and glassy. A nice follow-up.

The next big one is Monday the 21st morning. Another absolute belter: 6 ft NW swell with a very long 14-second period, and glassy conditions. The energy is 1133. This is groundswell perfection for a point or reef setup, and here at Les Estagnots, a beach break, it’ll be powerful and lined up. Expect some proper walls.

After that, the swell starts to drop and the winds turn more cross-onshore through Tuesday and Wednesday, making it less appealing. Thursday the 24th morning has a little pulse with 3 ft and clean offshore ENE wind (363 energy), but it’s small.

The very end of the run, from the 26th onward, fades to tiny, weak dribble. Energy readings drop to double digits (82, 74, 59). Not much to report there.

To wrap it up: the absolute best on offer is Saturday the 19th morning and Monday the 21st morning. Both have solid NW swell, long periods, and glassy or offshore wind. The 21st has that extra bit of period and energy for the experienced crew. Get on it.

Rusty.
