Seignosse - Les Estagnots Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s happening at Seignosse - Les Estagnots for the next couple of weeks.

It’s pretty quiet to start, nothing to write home about for the first few days. The water is sitting at 73°F and about 4°F warmer than usual for this time of year, which is a nice bonus for a dawn session.

Monday 7th September is a total dud. Tiny, weak swell with some wind on it, and the energy is low (438). Not worth the effort.

Tuesday 8th September is more of the same – small, grovelly conditions with onshore wind. The energy has dropped a bit (308). Leave the board at home.

Wednesday 9th September brings a bit more size, but the wind is cross-off in the morning, keeping it clean. Swell is 6ft from the NW with a short 9-second period, so it’s a messy windswell. The energy is up (550), but it’s pretty junky. Expert-only if you’re game.

Thursday 10th September – this is a standout. The morning is glassy, with a light breeze from the ENE and a clean 4ft NW swell. The period is a decent 10 seconds, so you’ll get some push. The energy is moderate (312). This is the pick of the first week – clean, fun, and uncrowded if you’re early. The afternoon is a loss with cross-on wind.

Friday 11th September and Saturday 12th September are small and poor. The swell drops to 2ft and the energy is weak (78). A few glassy moments but nothing with any power.

Sunday 13th September – this is a real standout. The morning is glassy with a 5ft NW groundswell, and the period is a proper 13 seconds. That’s some serious energy (703) and will push through nicely. Conditions are excellent. The afternoon gets messy with cross-on breeze, but that morning session is the one to target.

Monday 14th September is another good morning, glassy, with a 4ft NW swell and a 12-second period. The energy is solid (440). It’s clean and fun. The afternoon is crossed up.

Tuesday 15th September to Wednesday 16th September is a mixed bag. The morning of the 16th is worth a look with glassy conditions and a 4ft WNW swell, but the afternoon gets bigger (5ft) and messy.

Thursday 17th September – another cracking morning. Offshore wind, a 5ft NW swell with a 11-second period, and clean conditions. The energy is strong (518). This is a top-tier morning session, but it’s only for those who can handle the size.

Friday 18th September to Saturday 19th September – the 19th is a real highlight. Saturday morning sees a 5ft NW groundswell with a long 13-second period, offshore wind, and clean conditions. The energy is very strong (837). This is a powerful, clean swell that will be a dream on the point. The afternoon is ruined by cross-shore wind.

Sunday 20th September to Monday 21st September – Monday morning is glassy again with a 4ft WNW swell, 11-second period, and moderate energy (393). Nice and clean.

Tuesday 22nd September – the last day of the outlook is a bit of a fizzer. Onshore wind and a messy 6ft NW swell with a short period (9 seconds) and strong energy (560). Unlikely to be worth it.

The standout sessions are Thursday 10th morning, Sunday 13th morning, Thursday 17th morning, and Saturday 19th morning. The 19th has the biggest, cleanest swell with the most energy, so if you can only pick one, that’s your go.

Rusty.
