Seignosse - Les Estagnots Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for Seignosse - Les Estagnots over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, we're looking at a bit of a flat spell to start. There's nothing worth paddling out for on Tuesday (September 8th) – the wind's onshore and the surf is just messy. We'll have to wait until Wednesday morning, September 9th, for the first real window. That Wednesday morning sees a 6ft NW swell pumping in with a clean cross-offshore breeze from the NE. The energy is solid (550), and it's set to be very good. However, this is an expert-only affair. That size, combined with the consistent nature of the break, means it's not for the faint of heart. The afternoon gets chopped up by a cross-shore wind, so the morning is your ticket.

The standout session, the one you circle on the calendar, is Thursday morning, September 10th. The wind goes dead calm, glassy as a mirror, with a 4ft NW swell (period 10 seconds) and a moderate energy reading (318). This is the kind of morning where you can just sit out there and enjoy the peace. The water temp is about what you'd expect for this time of year, nothing unusual.

We then hit a bit of a lull. Friday through the weekend and into the next week (September 11th to 15th) is pretty small and weak. Mornings might offer a tiny, glassy wave, but the energy is low (under 100 on some days) and the swell is below 3ft. It's surfable but ordinary. The afternoons are mostly a write-off with onshore winds.

The next real flicker of hope comes on Monday morning, September 14th, with a 4ft NW swell (11-second period) and glassy conditions, but it's a short-lived window before the wind turns again.

Looking further out, we get a promising but less certain pulse for the second week. Monday morning, September 21st, is the one that stands out. A 5ft WNW swell, with a period of 11 seconds, is packing some serious energy (594). With a glassy, calm wind, it's set to be very good again. The only downside is that, like the earlier pulse, it's an expert wave at this size. The session could be epic, but it's a long way off, so keep your fingers crossed for the forecast to hold.

So, to sum it up: the best bets are the Wednesday morning (September 9th) for the biggest push, but the absolute pick of the bunch is the glassy Thursday morning (September 10th). If you're waiting for a clean, user-friendly wave, that's it. The rest of the week is a wait-and-see, with a promising but distant possibility on the 21st.

Rusty.
