Table - best surf conditions forecast for Seignosse - Les Estagnots over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you: the next 16 days are pretty grim for a paddle. We’re talking about a long, quiet stretch that’s basically a write-off for decent surf.
The Overall Picture
The whole window is dominated by tiny, weak swells. The combined wave energy barely gets out of the double digits for most of it, often sitting between 15 and 85 (combined energy). That’s weak, mushy energy. For the first week and a half, from Thursday the 30th of July right through to about the 9th of August, it’s all poor surf conditions. There are no standouts here, just a long gap of flatness. The water’s been running about 75°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year.
The Window
We don’t get a sniff of anything worth paddling out for until Tuesday the 11th of August, and even then it’s barely surfable. The swell bumps up to about 3ft from the NNW, with a weak period of 6 seconds. The energy finally cracks 70 (combined energy), but it’s still uninspiring. The morning of the 11th sees light offshore winds from the ENE, making for clean conditions at Seignosse - Les Estagnots, but it’s still a tiny wave, strictly for the longboard or a funboard. It’s an expert break here, which tells you the shape is fickle, and with such a small swell, it’ll be inconsistent.
Wednesday the 12th of August is the only other day that even registers. Similar 3ft NNW swell with clean offshore ENE winds in the morning. Again, small, weak, and needing all the help it can get.
The Takeaway
The bottom line is, this is a full-on blank run. If you’re desperate, the mornings of the 11th and 12th of August offer the only faint possibility of a clean ankle-to-knee-high wave at Les Estagnots, but honestly, with the combined energy this low, it’s more of a paddle than a surf. For any decent push, you’re looking at a long wait.
Rusty.
