The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's talk about what’s cooking for Seignosse - Les Estagnots.
To be straight with you, the first week and a half is a bit of a struggle. We’ve got a long stretch from Wednesday, August 12th, all the way through to the morning of Thursday, August 21st, where the conditions just aren't coming together. The swell is there, but it's mostly weak and the wind is making a mess of it. During this period, the water temp is sitting at about 75°F, which feels a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. You’ll see the combined energy of all swells directed here bounce between a weak 54 and a moderate 238, but every single session is marked as poor surf conditions due to the cross-shore or onshore winds.
Now, keep your eyes peeled for the morning of Friday, August 21st. That’s the standout window. We’ve got a 3ft swell rolling in from the NW, and the wind is dead calm – total glass. The combined energy is up at 260 (moderate) and it’s actually calling for good surf conditions. This is the one to make a move on.
After that highlight, we slide back into a messy pattern through the weekend and into the next week. Swell gets a bit bigger around Tuesday, August 25th, pushing 5ft to 8ft from the WNW and NW, and energy jumps to a strong 638 in the afternoon. But the wind is on it, and conditions are only marginal or poor, so it's more of a power session for experienced surfers only – and likely a choppy one at that.
The wind stays cross-onshore through most of the second week, so don’t expect any more perfect mornings like the 21st. The swell direction is generally NW or WNW, which is the optimum direction for this exposed beach break, but the wind just won’t play ball.
Bottom line: your best bet is the glassy Friday morning on the 21st. The rest of the run is mostly a fight against the breeze.
