The Lowdown

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

Straight up, I’ll be honest with you: the next week and a half looks pretty flat and frustrating. We’ve got a real slow patch. From now through to around the 16th of August, the swell is weak and the conditions are mostly ordinary. The first real chance of anything decent doesn’t look likely until the 17th of August, so we’re talking about a dry spell of nearly a week with no worthwhile waves.

The water temp is sitting at 74°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t need a thick wetsuit for the wait.

Let’s run through it day by day. Tuesday the 11th and Wednesday the 12th are tiny, with swell around 1ft to 2ft, and combined energy barely making it past the low 70s. Not worth paddling out for. Thursday and Friday are similar – small and onshore.

Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th see a slight bump, with swell hitting 3ft, but it’s messy and onshore. The energy is still low (93-128), and the wind is just ruining any chance of a clean wave.

Now, Monday the 17th of August is where things get a bit more interesting. The morning shows 4ft of swell from the NW, but the real winner is the glassy conditions. That’s right, flat calm wind. The combined energy is moderate at 156, but the period is short (7 seconds), so it’ll be a bit weak and crumbly. Still, it’s the best we’ve seen so far. That morning window is your best bet for a fun little session.

Tuesday the 18th of August morning also looks promising, with a light offshore breeze from the East and 4ft of NW swell. The energy is low (99), but clean conditions can make a small wave feel fun. Afternoon gets onshore again and ruins it.

After that, we drop back into tiny, stormy junk through the 19th to the 21st. There’s a chance on Friday the 21st morning with total glass and 2ft WNW swell, but it’s barely surfable.

Here’s the good bit, but you’ll need some patience. Saturday the 22nd of August afternoon sees a proper pulse of NW swell arriving at 5ft and combined energy jumping to a strong 573. The swell period is 11 seconds, so it has some punch. But the wind is onshore and messy, so it’s going to be a battle.

The real standout for the whole outlook is Monday the 24th of August. The morning brings a clean offshore breeze from the ESE with 3ft of NW swell. The energy is moderate (155). It’s not huge, but with offshore wind and small clean lines, that’s a winner for a mid-range session. Not too big for a beginner, but the period is only 9 seconds, so it’s not a proper groundswell. Still, that Monday morning is the pick of the bunch for a fun, uncrowded surf.

Finally, we get a bit of a spike on Tuesday the 25th of August afternoon. The swell jumps to 6ft from the WNW, which touches on that "too big for beginners" mark, and combined energy is solid at 242. The wind is a light cross-offshore, and the conditions are expected to be good. This is likely the biggest and most powerful swell of the window, and it looks clean. That Tuesday afternoon is the other one to circle on the calendar.

So, to wrap it up: hold tight through this dry, small spell. The best waves will be on the morning of Monday the 24th of August for clean, fun-sized waves, and the afternoon of Tuesday the 25th of August for a bigger, more powerful swell with clean conditions. Everything else is a bit of a write-off or just too small to get excited about. Keep an eye on the forecasts, because this pattern looks like it could break.

Rusty out.
