The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for our stretch of coast over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, it's a bit of a slow start. The first few days are looking pretty average, with small, weak swell and cross-shore breezes messing things up. The water is sitting at a warm 74°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year and makes those early paddles a bit more pleasant, even if the waves aren't there.
The real action starts to build from Saturday, the 5th of September. That's when the swell starts to push up and the wind plays ball. The standout window looks to be from Saturday morning through to Sunday morning. Saturday morning at Les Estagnots (Seignosse - Les Estagnots) will see clean 3ft waves from the WNW with light offshore wind. The combined energy is moderate (250), and the period is an average 9 seconds. It'll be a fun, user-friendly size.
But the real gem of the whole period is Sunday morning, the 6th of September. The swell jumps to a clean 5ft from the NW, powered up by a nice 12-second period. With light cross-offshore breeze and a combined energy reading of 551, it's going to have proper push and shape. This is the classic setup for a long, workable day. By the afternoon, the wind swings onshore and it's game over, so be an early bird.
Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th are a mixed bag. Monday has onshore wind and a messy, short-period windswell. Tuesday morning, however, is a solid shout. We’re looking at 5ft from the WNW with an 11-second period and a cross-offshore breeze. The combined energy jumps to 531. Just be mindful that this spot can get busy, and crowds are often a factor here.
Wednesday the 9th looks promising again for the early session. You've got 5ft of NW groundswell with a 10-second period and light offshore winds in the morning. The energy is strong (662). After that, the wind turns and the quality drops off until we get another glimmer of hope.
Thursday the 10th is a write-off. Strong onshore winds and building swell up to 8ft by the afternoon? That’s not surfable – that’s a washing machine. The combined energy hits 665 with a short, choppy 8-second period. For a beach break like this, that’s more of a kiteboarding playground than a surf spot.
We then hit a flat spell from the 11th through to the 14th. There are some glassy mornings, but the swell is tiny—1ft to 2ft—and the energy is pitiful, barely reaching 93. The combined energy values are in the double digits or low triple digits (33, 36, 39). It's just not happening.
We get a little pulse back on Tuesday the 15th morning. Clean 4ft of WNW swell with an 11-second period and glassy conditions. The energy is moderate (359), making it a decent, fun-sized option for a sneak-out. Wednesday the 16th morning is a repeat of that: 3ft with a longer 12-second period and glassy conditions, but the energy is a bit lower (290). Both of these are worth a look for a quiet, clean session.
After that, it trails off again into small, ordinary conditions to end the period.
So, to wrap it up: If you want the best of the best, set your alarm for Sunday morning, the 6th of September. Saturday the 5th and Tuesday the 15th mornings are your solid backup options. Keep an eye on the crowds at this spot, as they're often around when the conditions are good.
Rusty.
