The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what’s on the cards for Seignosse - Les Estagnots.
Right off the bat, the next week and a half is a bit of a write-off for any decent paddle. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak, and messy conditions. The water is sitting at a balmy 76°, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, so that’s a nice bonus if you’re just floating about, but the waves are mostly a no-go.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on the morning of Sunday, the 30th of August. We’ve got a clean 5ft swell from the NW with a period of 8 seconds, and the wind is blowing offshore from the East. The combined energy is moderate (262), and the conditions are looking clean. It’s not a giant, but for a spot that’s been starved of surf, it’s a welcome sight. Crowds are likely here, so be prepared to share the water.
The real standout, however, is the morning of Tuesday, the 1st of September. The swell is a similar 4ft from the WNW, but the period stretches to 9 seconds, giving it a bit more punch. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the NE, and the energy is again moderate (267). The forecast says “expect good surf conditions,” and that’s the best we’ve seen in this whole run. This is the session to aim for—clean, well-shaped lines with a bit of power.
After that, things taper off again. The morning of Wednesday, the 2nd of September has a glassy 3ft NW swell, but it’s weak. And the morning of the 7th of September shows a promising 3ft WNW swell with a 10-second period and clean winds, but in the afternoon of that same day, the swell absolutely detonates to 12ft. That’s a massive, very strong energy (2087), but it’s too big for this break, with strong cross-onshore winds. That’s strictly for experts only, if anyone is brave enough.
So, in summary: the first week is a tough slog. Hold out for the morning of the 1st of September for the best bet. The later stuff is promising but a long way out.
Rusty.
