The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s shaping up for our local stretch of sand.
We’ve got a decent run of surf on the way, starting with a bit of a pulse this weekend. The standout session is going to be Saturday the 29th morning at Seignosse - Les Estagnots. We’re looking at a clean 7ft groundswell out of the WNW, with a solid period of 9 seconds and a moderate combined energy of 736. The wind is light cross-off from the SE, keeping it clean and lined up. This is expert territory at that size, so only the lads with the right gear and experience should paddle out. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year.
Sunday morning the 30th is another beauty for the early birds. The swell drops a touch to 6ft, but the period stretches a notch to 10 seconds, giving the waves a bit more push (energy at 600). With glassy conditions and a light SE breeze, the surface will be like a mirror. It’s still a solid height, so respect the power.
Monday morning the 31st holds in there with 5ft, glassy wind from the NNW, and the same 9-second period. It’s good, clean fun with a combined energy of 450. Tuesday the 1st of September morning is similar—5ft, glassy, and manageable. The quality is starting to fade a little as the week goes on.
There’s a dry spell from Wednesday the 2nd right through to Friday the 4th where the swell drops off hard below 3ft and the energy falls to weak numbers like 39 or 80. Not worth getting wet for.
We get another window on Saturday the 5th of September morning. The swell picks back up to 4ft out of the NW with a period of 10 seconds, and the wind turns offshore from the E. It’s clean and lined up again, with moderate energy of 279. That’s a solid morning session.
Sunday the 6th morning is also worth a look: 4ft from the NW, a period stretching to 11 seconds (that’s a proper groundswell), and a 9 mph offshore breeze from the E. The combined energy is 384, and the waves will have some punch. A point break or reef might handle the longer period better, but it’ll be clean.
After that, it goes quiet again until we hit Wednesday the 9th of September morning. This is the other real standout. We’ve got 6ft of NW groundswell with an 11-second period and a high combined energy of 828. The wind is light offshore from the E, making for clean, powerful lines. Again, this is expert-level size. If you’re ready for it, get on it early.
The rest of the second week trails off into small, weak, and choppy conditions.
All in all, the best bet is Saturday the 29th morning and that Wednesday the 9th morning session. Plan around those.
Rusty.
