The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with the long-range outlook for Seignosse - Les Estagnots. The water is sitting at a balmy 76.6°, which is a full 5.4° warmer than usual for this time of year—that’s very unusual, so you can leave the thick wetsuit at home.
We’re looking at a bit of a slow start, but the story this week is about a solid pulse of swell arriving from the west. The best bet is shaping up to be Saturday morning, August 22nd. We’ve got a clean 4ft NW swell wrapping in, with a gentle offshore breeze from the east. It’s not huge, but with the offshore wind ironing it out, expect some fun, clean lines.
The real standout, though, is the swell that builds late in the period. Saturday morning, August 29th, shows a solid 6.6ft WNW swell pouring in with moderate energy (748). That’s expert territory, but the wind is light and variable from the SSW, keeping things from getting too messy. Sunday morning, August 30th is also a cracker. The swell drops a bit to 4.6ft from the NW, but the wind goes glassy from the east, and the energy is still respectable (294). That’s your pick for clean, user-friendly waves for the more experienced crew.
There’s a long gap with no solid options until late August, so don’t get too excited for the first week. The forecast is promising for the end of the month, but it’s still a way out, so keep an eye on it.
The beach here is an exposed setup, so when that swell gets over 6.5ft and the wind is onshore, it can get pretty wild. If the wind switches to a strong cross-shore, it might be more interesting for the kite crew than us paddle surfers.
Stay stoked, and I’ll catch you in the water.
