Seignosse - Les Estagnots Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for Seignosse - Les-Estagnots over the next couple of weeks.

Right now, we’re coming out of a rough patch. The first few days of the forecast period are a write-off – Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th have some swell but the wind is messy, and the waves are either too weak or blown out. Wednesday the 29th through to the end of July stays small and mostly onshore or choppy, so unless you’re keen on a flat spell, keep the board in the bag. There’s a real gap here – several days in a row with nothing worth paddling out for.

Things start to look up around Tuesday the 4th of August. Early that morning we get a glassy window with a light offshore from the WSW and a 2ft swell out of the W at 10 seconds. It’s small – knee to waist high at best – and the energy is weak (98), but it’s clean. Not a standout, but a nice little session if you’re desperate. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

The real highlight – and the only one I’d get excited about – is Monday the 10th of August. Early morning we’ve got a 4ft swell from the WNW, period around 8 seconds, pushing moderate energy (212). It’s onshore wind from the W, so it’ll be a bit lumpy, but the size is there. This is expert territory at 4ft – too big for beginners, but for experienced surfers it’s a fun, punchy beach break. The swell direction (NW optimum, WNW incoming) is a reasonable match. Crowds are often an issue here, so expect company if the waves show.

After that, Tuesday the 11th of August morning goes glassy again with a 4ft swell from the NNW at a very short 6 seconds. That period is weak and the energy is only moderate (125), so it’ll be a bit fat and disorganised. Still, clean conditions and some size – worth a look if you’ve got nothing else.

Overall, the next 16 days are lean. There’s a long stretch of small, weak, or wind-affected surf, then a couple of brief windows of cleaner, bigger waves early in the second week. The standout is Monday the 10th of August morning, even with the onshore wind – it’s the biggest pulse of the period. But don’t bank on it too hard, it’s far out.

Rusty.
