The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’ve been staring at the charts for Seignosse – Les Estagnots. Let’s get into it.
The next couple of days are a bit of a write-off, but hold tight because there’s some proper gold coming. The best waves are going to be early, with the glass.
We kick off on Saturday, September 12th. Don’t get too excited for the morning session – there’s just a small, weak 3 ft swell from the WNW with a short 8-second period. The combined energy is only 90, so it’s weak and meandering. The saving grace is the glassy, offshore breeze from the east, but the waves will be gutless. By the afternoon, that north-northwest wind picks up to 12 mph onshore, and it’s a mess. That’s a scratch session.
Sunday, September 13th, morning is where it starts to wake up. The swell jumps to a proper 4 ft from the north-west, but more importantly, the period stretches to 13 seconds – that’s groundswell energy. The combined energy reading is 501 (moderate). The wind is absolutely dead calm – glass. The water temp is about average for this time of year. This is the first standout: clean, long-period lines peeling down the beach. The afternoon gets a bit lumpy as the cross-shore wind comes in, so get on it early. This is an expert break known for being consistent, and it’s exposed to the west, so it’ll catch that NW energy well.
Monday, September 14th, is another good call for the early. The swell holds at 4 ft from the NW with an 11-second period and the combined energy stays moderate at 389. Glassy conditions again with a light east breeze. A very clean, fun morning. The afternoon sees a clean cross-off wind, so it’s still good.
Tuesday and Wednesday, September 15th and 16th, are a bit of a dud. The swell drops and the wind goes onshore from the west and northwest, turning the surf poor and choppy. Surfable, but not worth rushing for.
Now, Thursday morning, September 17th, is another real standout. A solid 5 ft NW swell kicking in with a 12-second period, and the combined energy is pumping at 698 (moderate to strong). The wind is dead calm from the south-southeast – absolutely glass. It’ll be clean, powerful lines. This is your best bet for the first week.
Friday, September 18th, the morning clears up with a light southwest breeze and 4 ft of NW swell. It’s glassy early and clean. Good, not epic.
Saturday, September 19th, morning session is a cracker. Another 5 ft NW swell, 12-second period, and a combined energy of 644. Wind is dead calm from the southwest. It is going to be clean and solid. The afternoon gets a bit of a chop on it.
Sunday the 20th and Monday the 21st are pretty cruisy mornings with offshore winds and 4 to 4 ft waves, but the afternoons get shredded by cross-shore winds.
Okay, now we’re into the second week. The pattern holds: mornings are the key. Tuesday, September 22nd, and Wednesday, September 23rd, both have clean morning sessions with 4 ft to 5 ft NW swells, with light offshore easterly winds. Consistent, fun, but not huge.
But then we get a major, major outlier. Friday morning, September 25th. This is the big one. The swell hammers up to 7 ft from the WNW, with a 14-second period. The combined energy is a massive 1978 (strong to very strong). The wind is a light offshore from the east-southeast, and it’s glassy. This is expert territory – over 8 ft it’s for experts only, and at 7 ft it’s still pushing it for most. The waves will be powerful, lined up, and clean. Get ready for a serious session if you have the skills. The afternoon gets a cross-shore wind which will mess it up a bit.
Saturday, September 26th, morning is still solid with 6 ft NW swell and clean offshore wind. And even into Sunday, September 27th, there’s a leftover 3 ft groundswell from the WNW with a very long 15-second period – clean and glassy again.
Crowds at Les Estagnots can be likely, especially on these standout mornings. The break is consistent and exposed, so it’ll be busy. Keep your eyes on the horizon.
So, to wrap it up: the two true standouts are Sunday morning, September 13th and Thursday morning, September 17th for the first week, but the absolute king on offer is Friday morning, September 25th – that 7 ft WNW groundswell with glassy conditions is the one you circle on your calendar.
Rusty.
