The Lowdown
Right, let’s get into what’s cookin’ over at Seignosse - Les Estagnots. This stretch is exposed to the west, and the coming days have a bit of a slow start before it fires up.
Alright, we’re starting on Friday, August 28th, but don’t get too excited. That morning it’s a messy 5ft from the WNW with a short 7 seconds and a 12 mph WSW wind on it. It’s choppy and poor. The afternoon cleans up a bit with a cross-onshore NNW breeze, but still not worth paddling out for.
Now, Saturday, August 29th is where it’s at. You wake up to glassy conditions – dead calm, SE wind at 0 mph. The swell bumps up to a solid 7ft from the WNW with a 9-second period. The energy is pumping (721). That’s the standout of the whole run. It’s a proper expert-day though. Over 8ft, so if you’re not an expert, stay on the beach and watch. The afternoon gets a bit cross-shore and loses the magic.
Sunday, August 30th is another stellar morning. Glassy conditions again with a light E breeze at 3 mph. Swell is 5ft from the WNW, period stretching to 11 seconds, and the energy is still strong (573). This is clean, fun, and for the experienced crew. The afternoon turns cross-onshore again, so get it in the morning.
Monday, August 31st sees a drop in size to 5ft but holds that WNW swell at 9 seconds. Glassy morning with a light N breeze. Clean and workable, a good option for those who missed the weekend.
Tuesday, September 1st and Wednesday, September 2nd are smaller and get chopped up by NW winds. The swell drops to 4ft-4ft and the energy fades. Not worth the paddle.
Thursday, September 3rd and Friday, September 4th are tiny – down to 2ft and 2ft. Minimal energy (79 and 47). You’re looking at the super low tide dribble. There’s a gap of a few days with nothing really happening.
But hold on. Saturday, September 5th brings a long-period groundswell out of the WNW at 14 seconds. The height is only 3ft in the morning, but the energy is massive (616). This is a real sleeper. The long period means it will be super clean and lined up, with big gaps between sets. Glassy, light E breeze. This one is for the patient surfer. The afternoon jumps to 5ft but gets messy with a cross-shore wind.
Sunday, September 6th has a clean morning with an offshore E wind at 6 mph, a 4ft NW groundswell at 11 seconds. Good and clean, but not as special as Saturday. The energy is moderate (400).
The second week sees smaller swells, but Tuesday, September 8th and Wednesday, September 9th have some clean morning windows with light winds and glassy conditions, mostly around 4ft from the NW. Not huge, but clean enough for a fun session if you’re keen.
The very end of the run (September 10th-12th) drops right off into tiny, poor surf. The energy falls below 100, so don’t bother.
Best on offer: Saturday, August 29th (7ft, WNW, glassy, expert-level) and Saturday, September 5th (3ft, WNW, long 14-second groundswell, glassy). That last one is a week away, so it’s promising but less certain.
