Seignosse - Les Estagnots Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright my friends, let’s get a look at what’s on offer at Seignosse - Les Estagnots.

First thing, the water is 74°, which is a solid 4° warmer than the long-term average for this time of year. That’s a real treat, takes the sting out of the morning air. This forecast is a bit of a mixed bag, with a few quiet days and a couple of windows that are going to be worth the wait.

The week starts off pretty flat. Thursday the 3rd is a no-go with a weak 3ft NW windswell and a messy cross-shore breeze. Friday morning the 4th gives us a tiny 2ft glassy wave, but it’s just too ordinary to get the heart pumping. The first real chance comes early on Saturday the 5th. The morning is looking good: 3ft of WNW swell, glassy conditions with an easterly breeze, and the combined energy is a solid 233 (moderate). It’s small, but it’ll be clean and fun for a longboard or a fish.

The first standout session is Sunday morning the 6th. We’ve got a clean 5ft NW swell with a moderate 12-second period, a cross-off wind from the SSE, and a combined energy of 551 (strong). That’s a proper session. The water will be a bit full, but the lines will be clean and the sandbanks will be holding.

The next week gets a bit bumpy. Monday the 9th morning gives a glimmer of hope: 4ft of NW swell, glassy, with a combined energy of 205 (moderate). It’s surfable. After that, the wind turns onshore for a few days, so expect some chop.

Now, for the second week, we’ve got a distant but serious pulse. The absolute standout of the entire outlook is Sunday morning the 13th. We’re looking at 5ft of NW groundswell with a 13-second period, super clean with glassy ENE wind, and a combined energy of 809 (strong). That’s a big, clean, powerful swell. This is expert territory at this size, and the offshore wind will make it glassy perfection. The afternoon will still be good, but the morning is the real deal.

The following week has a few potentials. Tuesday the 16th afternoon sees a clean 4ft NW swell with a glassy offshore wind, clean conditions, and a combined energy of 258 (moderate). A solid choice for a late session.

So, the plan is simple: wait for the glassy mornings, and don’t miss that Sunday the 6th session. But the big one to circle in your calendar is Sunday the 13th – that’s the one you want to make sure you’ve got nothing else planned. Forecasts that far out can change, but right now it looks like a cracker.
