The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee, let’s talk waves.
To be straight with you, it’s going to be a mixed bag here at Seignosse - Les Estagnots. We’re kicking off a slow period right now. Conditions are poor through the start, with tiny swell and iffy winds. There are a few glassy windows, but the energy is just too weak to get excited about.
Look, from Saturday the 18th through most of next week, we’re looking at a lot of near-flat to very small surf. The combined swell energy is mostly in the double digits (11 to 89) – that’s real weak stuff. You'll see some glassy mornings, but it's ankle-biters at best.
We hit a bit of a lull, but things start to change around Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th. We get a bump in size to around 5ft, but it comes with cross-onshore winds and the combined energy jumps into the moderate range (307 to 399). The problems are wind and a period under 8 seconds, making it a choppy, messy affair. Not great for paddle surfing, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing given the cross-onshore wind and poor conditions.
Now, the standout. Keep an eye on Wednesday morning the 29th. This is the one. We get a clean, glassy morning with a solid 5ft NW groundswell. The combined energy hits a strong 562 – that's proper juice. The swell period stretches to 10 seconds, offering some shape. The wind is glassy (WNW at 3 mph) which will make for clean, lined-up waves. This is your best bet, no question, but it’s an expert wave at this size. This is the one true standout in the entire outlook. The swell direction (NW) is directly from the optimum swell direction for this break.
We have a moderate combined energy (204) again on the 30th, but the winds switch onshore and the quality drops. The period is a bit longer on the 30th though, which is a plus. After that, we slide back into poor, small conditions to finish out the window and into early August.
Over the next 16 days, the pattern is clear: a long dry spell, a brief, messy pulse of swell, and then one gem of a morning on the 29th.
