The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up for Les Estagnots.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a wait. The next few days are pretty grim with onshore winds and choppy conditions, so you can leave the board in the car for now. The first real glimmer of hope shows up on the morning of Saturday the 22nd. That’s when we’ll see a clean little window with offshore east winds and a 4ft northwest swell, period around 9 seconds. The water is sitting at 77°F with a 5°F anomaly – that’s much warmer than usual for this time of year, so no need for a thick wetsuit. The combined energy is weak at 235, so don’t expect anything too meaty, but it’ll be rideable and clean.
The good stuff doesn’t last long, though. Sunday the 23rd offers a small, clean 2ft morning with east offshore winds, but the energy is very low (71) and the swell is short-period. After that, we hit a long dry spell. From Monday the 24th all the way through to the start of September, it’s mostly poor surf with onshore and cross-onshore winds, lumpy, choppy, and barely any swell to speak of – a real blank run.
Now, fast forward to the beginning of September. There’s a bit of a tease on Wednesday the 2nd morning with a 4ft WNW swell, light cross-offshore winds, and clean conditions, but the energy is still weak (146) and the period is short. The real standout, and the one I’d circle on your calendar, is the morning of Thursday the 3rd. We’ve got glassy conditions with a light east-northeast breeze, 4ft of WNW swell, and the energy is still low (134) but the glassy wind will make it look way better than it sounds. It’s a small, clean, morning-only session.
But if you want the best of the whole 16-day stretch, it’s the morning of Friday the 4th. That’s when we get glassy conditions again, 5ft of WNW swell, and the combined energy picks up to a moderate 322. The period is 8 seconds, so not a groundswell, but the glassy wind and chest-high waves will be the cleanest, most fun surf we’ve seen in a while. It’s an expert break – Les Estagnots is consistent but tricky, and with that size it’s manageable for strong intermediates if they’re sharp.
Remember, this is a long-range call, so keep an eye on it, but it’s looking like the one to aim for.
Rusty.
