The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
Alright, listen up. We’re looking at a 16-day window for Seignosse - Les Estagnots, and honestly, it’s a bit of a mixed bag. The water is sitting at 74°, which is a solid 4° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s pretty notable, you’ll be surfing in a warm bath for a while.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Saturday morning, the 5th of September. We’ve got a little 3ft swell from the WNW, but the real winner is the light 6 mph easterly offshore wind. The combined energy is moderate at 236, and it’s set to be clean. It’s small, but it’ll be fun on a longboard.
Then things get a bit more interesting. The standout session is the Friday morning of the 18th of September. That’s over a week and a half away, so keep an eye on it, but the forecast is promising. We’re looking at a 5ft NW swell with a moderate combined energy of 530, and a light 9 mph cross-offshore breeze from the NE. That’s a recipe for a clean, punchy morning. For a more advanced crew, the Saturday morning of the 19th of September is also worth a look: 5ft of NW swell (441 combined energy) with a light 3 mph cross-offshore from the NNE. Clean again.
There are a few other moments with glassy conditions, like the Wednesday morning of the 9th and the Thursday morning of the 10th, but the swell is only around 4ft. They’ll be fun, but nothing compared to that 18th.
A word of caution: the 5ft to 6ft swells on the 5th afternoon and the 19th afternoon are getting into that size where it’s more for experienced surfers, especially with the period around 10 seconds. Anything over 5ft is a bit much for beginners here.
Also, expect crowds at Les Estagnots. It’s a popular spot, and with these conditions, it’ll be busy, especially on the better days.
Overall, the best bet is that Friday morning on the 18th of September. It’s a long way out, but it’s the cleanest bit of power we’ve got in the whole window.
Rusty.
