The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s on the table for the next couple of weeks.

First off, the water is a warm 76°, which is quite a bit warmer than usual for this time of year—about 6° above normal. Feels like a swim.

The overall pattern is pretty flat and ordinary for the first week. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak swell and poor conditions. The first real sniff of something decent doesn’t show up until Tuesday, July 28th.

For the first few days, from Monday the 20th through to Sunday the 27th, it’s mostly a write-off. The swell is tiny, mostly around 2 ft to 3 ft, with short periods of 5-7 seconds. The wind is a mess – onshore or cross-onshore most of the time, with a few glassy mornings that still only offer “surfable but very ordinary” waves. The combined energy is weak, barely scratching 50-90. Not worth paddling out for. There’s a stormy spell on the 25th and 26th with strong winds and rain, and the afternoon of the 26th sees a spike in period to 12 seconds, but the wind is onshore and it’s still a poor surf call.

The first true standout arrives on Tuesday, July 28th, in the morning. Seignosse - Les Estagnots wakes up with glassy conditions, a light WNW wind, and a clean 4 ft swell from the NW. The period is a solid 10 seconds, giving it some real push. The combined energy jumps to 262 (moderate). This is the best session of the first week. The wave state is glassy, and it’s clean. Keep in mind it’s an expert spot, so it’s not for beginners, and crowds are often here.

The next big moment is Wednesday, July 29th, morning. Again, glassy conditions with a light SSE wind, and the swell builds to 5 ft from the NW, with a 10-second period. The energy jumps to 425 (moderate). That’s a proper session for the experienced crew. The wind is perfect, the swell has size, but it’s a bit too big for beginners. The afternoon gets messy with a cross-shore wind.

After that, the pattern stays poor. Thursday the 30th and Friday the 31st offer some glassy mornings, but the winds shift and the swell quality drops. The morning of the 31st is worth a look: 4 ft from the NW, 9 seconds, glassy, with energy at 275. But it’s not a standout compared to the 28th and 29th.

From August 1st through the 4th, it’s back to small, weak, and choppy, with onshore winds and poor surf conditions. The morning of Tuesday, August 4th, shows a bump in energy to 281 with 4 ft swell and 10-second period, but the wind is cross-onshore, so it’s only marginal.

The True Standouts:
- Tuesday, July 28th, morning: 4 ft NW, glassy, 10-second period, moderate energy. Clean, fun, and the best of the early run.
- Wednesday, July 29th, morning: 5 ft NW, glassy, 10-second period, moderate energy. A step up in size, still clean, and handles the expert crowd well.

If you’re an expert, those two mornings are your window. The rest is a lot of waiting for clean glass and a pulse of swell.

Rusty.
