The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, the next week is a bit of a write-off. We've got a long stretch of small, gutless surf and poor conditions. From Thursday the 13th through to Wednesday the 19th, it's a struggle. Swell barely gets above 2ft, period is short and weak, and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, chopping up what little bump there is. The combined wave energy is low, hanging around the 30 to 138 range, which tells you it's all pretty feeble. The only real highlight is how warm the water is – a touch warmer than normal at 75°F, which is a bonus if you're just floating around.
Then, we get a glimmer on Thursday the 20th. A proper pulse of NW groundswell arrives, pushing up to 6ft in the afternoon with a long 12-second period. The combined energy jumps to 836 – that's a proper kick of energy. But the wind is on or cross-on, and the swell is a bit raw, so it's marginal. This is a spot for experts only, as it's over 5ft, and with the NW direction, it'll be a bit lumpy. The crowd here is often a factor, so expect company.
The real standout, what I'd be aiming for, is the morning of Wednesday the 26th. It's a week away, so there's a bit of uncertainty, but the call is for a 5ft WNW swell with a 9-second period, and the wind is going glassy from the SW. That's a major positive. The combined energy is a solid 378, and the forecast scores it as "expect good surf conditions." This is your window for the best shape and cleanest lines. The afternoon gets wind-affected, but that morning session at Seignosse - Les Estagnots is the one to watch.
The following morning, Thursday the 27th, also has a glassy start with a 3ft swell, but it's a step down in power. Worth a paddle if you missed the 26th.
So, to sum it up: the first week is a dud. The second week offers a couple of windows, with the morning of the 26th being the clear pick. Keep an eye on that forecast.
Rusty.
