The Lowdown
Right, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Seignosse - Les Estagnots over the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you – it’s a tough start. The first week is a real write-off for any decent paddle surfing. We’ve got a long stretch of flat, weak, and messy conditions from now through until the 21st of July. The swell is tiny, mostly around 0.7 ft to 1 ft, and the wind is all over the shop, mostly cross or onshore, just making a mess of things. It’s a proper blank run, so don’t bother packing the board just yet.
The first sign of anything worthwhile pops up on the morning of the 21st of July. The wind switches to a light cross-offshore from the NE at 3 mph, which is clean. The swell is still nothing to write home about at 2 ft from the NNW, but the combined energy is a weak 43 (combined energy of all swells directed here). The comment says "surfable but very ordinary", so you could get a few, but it’s not a standout.
The morning of the 23rd of July offers a bit of hope. The wind is glassy from the WSW, calm, and the swell is 1 ft from the WNW. It’s another "surfable but very ordinary" call, but that glassy wind is a big plus. The crowds here are often present, so you might have some company.
Now, the real interest is around the 24th to the 27th of July. The swell finally starts to build. On the 24th, we see the swell height reach 3 ft to 4 ft from the WNW, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy jumps to a moderate 147 to 157 (combined energy of all swells directed here). The wind is cross-on, which is a bit of a letdown, and the "poor surf conditions" label persists. It’s too big for beginners at over 5 ft? No, it’s under that, so it’s fine for intermediates, but the quality is lacking.
The best chance in this whole outlook comes on the morning of the 27th of July. The wind is glassy from the ENE at 3 mph, and the swell is a solid 3 ft from the NW with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is a moderate 120 (combined energy of all swells directed here). The wave comment is "surfable but very ordinary", but that glassy wind will make it clean. It’s the standout of the run, but it’s still not a classic. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no major surprises there.
After that, the 28th and 29th of July look similar, with glassy conditions and 3 ft to 3 ft swell, but the energy drops off. It’s all a bit underwhelming for a spot that can handle proper west swell.
So, the pick of a very average bunch is the morning of the 27th at Les Estagnots. The glassy wind and that 3 ft NW swell will give you the cleanest wave of the period. Don’t expect much, but it’s the best on offer.
Rusty.
