The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, and we're looking at Seignosse.
First thing’s first—the start of this run is dead flat. From Monday, August 24th through most of the following week, it’s tiny waves and messy wind. You’ll be sitting on the beach, not in the water.
The first hint of something rideable comes Wednesday morning, August 26th. A clean 1ft wave from the NW with a cross-offshore breeze. It’s small, but you can get wet. The energy is weak (50). Thursday the 27th morning is a touch better with 2ft from the NW and clean offshore wind.
Friday the 28th sees size come up—6ft from the W—but the wind is cross-onshore and the surface is choppy. Not worth the paddle. Saturday the 29th is similar: size but messy. Sunday the 30th morning is the first real clean moment: glassy, 4ft from the NW, energy moderate (159). A decent little session if you’re keen.
Now, mark your calendar for Tuesday, September 1st, morning. This is the standout. We’ve got 6ft from the WNW, 10-second period, and glassy calm wind. The energy is strong (541). The water’s at 76°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year. Les-Estagnots is an exposed break and it’s consistent, so it’ll be crowded, but that clean, glassy surf will be worth the company. This is excellent for experienced surfers.
Sunday, September 6th morning is another banger for the experienced: 6ft from the NW, glassy wind, energy very strong (1135). That’s a solid groundswell. Monday the 7th morning is also world-class: 4ft from the WNW, a very long 16-second period, and clean offshore wind. That’s a groundswell that will be long, clean, and powerful—best on a reef or point.
The second week is less certain, but Thursday the 4th and Friday the 5th are huge—over 8ft and up to 10ft—but with strong onshore wind and extreme energy (over 1400). That’s expert-only, and likely blown out.
Best of the whole run? Tuesday morning, September 1st at Les-Estagnots. Glassy, 6ft, clean, and warm water. Don’t sleep on it.
Rusty.
