The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s in store for us at Seignosse - Les Estagnots.
Right off the bat, the water is sitting at 75° – that’s much warmer than normal for this time of year, over two and a half degrees above average. Pretty special.
We’ve got a slow start, no two ways about it. Thursday morning (27th August) is glassy, but the swell is tiny at 1 ft from the NW with a short 8-second period, and combined energy is just 23 – weak. Poor surf. Thursday afternoon is no better, cross-onshore and choppy. Friday is a write-off with onshore winds and a messy 2 ft to 4 ft mix. We’re looking at small, poor conditions through the first few days.
Now, Saturday morning (29th August) is where it first gets interesting. Glassy conditions, swell picking up to 5 ft from the WNW with a 9-second period, and combined energy hits 424 (moderate). That’s a proper surfable morning – clean and glassy. The afternoon goes cross-shore and loses quality, so get out early.
Sunday morning (30th) is offshore with clean conditions, 4 ft WNW swell, 357 energy – very rideable. Again, the afternoon gets chopped by a NNW cross-onshore breeze. Monday is marginal both sessions, nothing to write home about.
Tuesday morning (1st September) is a cracker: offshore ENE breeze, clean, 5 ft WNW swell (10 seconds), energy at 411 – good surf. The afternoon turns cross-shore and messy. Wednesday morning (2nd) is clean but small, 3 ft NW swell, energy 152. Ordinary but surfable.
Then we hit a bit of a lull. Thursday (3rd) and Friday (4th) are small, clean but barely any push. The best of those is Friday morning (4th September) – glassy, 3 ft NW, energy 112 – it’s a knee-high paddle.
Now, the real standout comes on Saturday 5th September. This is the one to circle. Morning session: glassy, 5 ft NW groundswell with a very long 12-second period, combined energy a solid 590 (moderate to strong). Expect very good surf conditions. That long period will wrap nicely into the beach, but keep in mind it might break a little straight at times – still, clean and solid. The afternoon blows out with moderate cross-shore wind.
Sunday 6th September morning is also very good: glassy, 5 ft NW groundswell, 11 seconds, energy 505. Clean, punchy, and fun. Afternoon again goes cross-shore and loses shape.
Monday 7th is onshore, poor. Tuesday 8th September morning is a highlight: offshore ESE breeze, 5 ft NW groundswell at 11 seconds, energy 629 – that’s very good surf. Clean, solid, and a bit more size. The afternoon is cross-shore and lumpy.
Wednesday 9th and Thursday 10th have some size but are marginal with cross-shore winds and a bit of chop. The swell builds to 8 ft on Wednesday afternoon, but it’s cross-onshore and messy. Thursday morning has 7 ft NW swell, but it’s cross-shore – more for the experts if you’re desperate.
Finally, Friday 11th September morning: offshore E wind, 4 ft WNW swell, 10 seconds, energy 270 – clean, fun, and tidy. The afternoon holds with a cross-offshore breeze and clean conditions. A nice end to the run.
Over the whole window, the absolute best is the morning of Saturday 5th September – glassy, 5 ft of long-period NW groundswell, very good conditions. Sunday 6th and Tuesday 8th mornings are also excellent. The break is consistent, exposed to the west, and optimum swell direction is W, which matches the WNW/NW we’re seeing. Keep in mind crowds are often here, especially on those clean weekend mornings, so expect company.
Rusty.
