The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s talk about the surf coming up around Seignosse - Les Estagnots. The next few days are tiny and clean but weak. The real gold is next week, with a couple of sessions that’ll make you glad you checked.
First light Friday the 11th has 2ft NW swell with an 8-second period. It’s glassy with a 3 mph SE breeze—clean but weak (73 energy). Friday afternoon goes to crap with a cross-onshore. Saturday morning the 12th is similar—3ft NW, glassy, weak (90). Sunday morning the 13th is a game-changer. Swell jumps to 4ft from the NW, period hits 13 seconds, energy is solid (552), and it’s dead calm with zero wind. This is a standout—clean, quality groundswell with proper shape. It’s an expert break, so heads up. Water temp is a warm 73°F, which is 4° warmer than usual—much warmer than normal, so a shorty or even a rash guard will do.
Monday morning the 14th stays clean with offshore ESE breeze at 3 mph, 4ft NW swell, 11-second period, and moderate energy (382). Good but not a standout. Midweek gets messy—Tuesday the 15th and Wednesday the 16th are mostly onshore and choppy, with wave heights climbing but poor quality.
Next standout: Thursday morning the 17th. Swell hits 6ft from the WNW, 11-second period, clean and glassy with zero wind. Energy is pumping (622). This is big enough for experts only, but that glassy surface and solid groundswell make it a belter. Friday the 18th backs off a bit but stays clean with offshore breeze in the morning.
Saturday the 19th is another ripper. Morning brings 5ft NW swell, 12-second period, offshore E wind at 6 mph, clean, energy at 747. A beauty—strong, clean, and lined up. Sunday the 20th morning is glassy with 5ft NW swell, 10-second period, energy at 545. Solid session. Sunday arvo gets bigger—7ft NW swell with a 14-second period and very strong energy (1649)—but the wind turns cross-shore and it gets marginal, plus that size is only for experts.
Monday the 22nd is good again: 6ft NW, 12 seconds, cross-offshore NNE breeze at 6 mph, clean, energy at 959. Powerful and clean for experienced surfers. The rest of the week fades into smaller, cleaner mornings but nothing standout. From the 24th onward it’s small and ordinary.
Best of the lot? Sunday morning the 13th for the glass, solid swell, and that 13-second period. Close second is Saturday morning the 19th—clean, strong, and that 12-second groundswell will wrap in beautiful. Thursday the 17th morning is also a cracker if you can get out midweek. Crowds at Les-Estagnots can get busy, so expect company on the standouts.
Rusty out.
