The Lowdown
Imperial Units
Alright, let’s talk in feet and miles per hour. This is a grim outlook, I won’t sugarcoat it.
The surf starts on Monday the 3rd of August, but it’s a tease. Seignosse - Les Estagnots has a tiny 1ft wave from the WNW, with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy is a weak 41, so it’s barely a ripple. The wind is glassy, so it’s pretty as a picture, but there’s no power. The water temp is normal for the season.
The rest of that first week is a write-off. Tuesday and Wednesday have tiny 1ft to 3ft waves with onshore winds from the north and northwest. The periods are short, around 8-9 seconds, and it’s just choppy and poor.
Thursday the 6th morning gives us a slight glimmer. A 3ft NW swell with a 9-second period and a moderate energy of 157. The wind is a light offshore from the NE, so the lineup is clean. It’s a decent window, but it doesn’t last. The afternoon gets wrecked by the wind.
The weekend of the 8th and 9th is ugly. The swell gets a little bigger, up to 4ft on Sunday afternoon, with energy of 202, but it’s all onshore. That’s the kind of day you look at from the car park and keep driving. The second week follows the same tired pattern. Monday the 10th morning has a glassy 4ft swell with 187 energy, but it’s a one-off clean moment in a sea of cross-shore chop.
The big news is that there is no standout. No session where the swell, wind, and direction all come together. The swell direction is mostly NW, which is fine for this spot, but the wind is never our friend. The last few days of the forecast, the 17th and 18th of August, see the swell build to 4ft to 4ft, with energy jumping to 269, but it’s all onshore at 18 mph. That’s a blown-out, messy storm wave. For a beach break like this, that’s kite-surfing territory, not a surfer’s dream.
If you’re absolutely itching, the cleanest windows are the mornings of the 6th, 10th, and 11th, with light offshore breezes. The 4ft on the 10th is the best of a bad bunch, but it’s nothing special. This is a quiet period for a spot that usually delivers. It’s a dry spell, but it won’t last forever. The forecast can always change for the better.
