The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Seignosse - Les Estagnots. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, but there’s a window of clean surf to get excited about.
Right now, the water is sitting at 25°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – a real treat. The forecast starts with a pretty flat spell. From Tuesday the 18th through to Friday the 21st, the swell is tiny and the wind is all over the place, mostly cross-onshore. It’s poor surf conditions, so you might as well leave the board in the car.
Things start to turn around on Saturday the 22nd. The morning looks promising with a light cross-offshore breeze from the SSE, and 4 ft of NW swell at 9 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (206), and it’s clean. That’s likely your best window for a proper session. The afternoon goes glassy, with the same 4 ft of NW swell, though the energy drops a touch (172). It’s surfable but very ordinary.
Sunday the 23rd keeps the glassy conditions in the morning with a light ESE breeze, but the swell drops to 3 ft and the energy is weak (88). Still, it’s glassy, so for a beginner-friendly wave (under 5 ft), it’s worth a paddle.
Monday the 24th morning is glassy again with a 3 ft NW swell, but the period is short at 7 seconds, so it’ll be a bit weak. The afternoon gets messy with a cross-onshore NW wind.
Then we hit a dry spell. From Tuesday the 25th through Friday the 28th, the conditions are mostly poor, with a big spike of 8 ft on Thursday the 27th morning – but that’s with a fresh cross-onshore wind of 35 km/h, making it lumpy and only for experts. The energy is off the charts (1238), but the wind is nasty.
The last decent chance comes on Saturday the 29th. The morning has a clean cross-offshore breeze from the ESE, with 5 ft of WNW swell at 9 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (301). It’s a solid clean option, but not a standout compared to the 22nd.
After that, it’s back to small, ordinary surf through to the end of the period. For a break that’s consistent, this is a bit of a quiet run, but it’s not unusual for August.
In short, your best bet is the morning of Saturday the 22nd. That’s where the stars align. Don’t sleep on it.
Rusty.
