The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's shaping up for the next couple of weeks at our local banks.
The forecast starts off with a small window of clean waves this Saturday morning, the 22nd of August, but don't get too excited because we're looking at a long, long dry spell after that. The first real action is on Saturday morning, and then we've got a stretch of close to a week of pretty much nothing worth paddling out for until we see a bit more life late in the following week and into September.
Our standout session, the one to circle, is this coming Saturday morning, the 22nd. Head down to Seignosse - Les Estagnots. We've got a clean 4 ft NW groundswell rolling in with a 9-second period, giving us moderate energy (211). The real beauty here is the wind—it's a light 9 mph easterly, straight offshore. That means smooth, clean faces. The water is sitting at a very unusual 76°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might get away with a spring suit. This is an expert wave at a consistent spot, but the offshore flow will make it feel like a treat. Expect some company though, as it gets crowded often.
After that Saturday session, it goes quiet real fast. Sunday the 23rd has a tiny, weak 2 ft pulse and it's just not worth the effort. Monday through Wednesday are flat or onshore rubbish. Then on Thursday the 27th, we get a spike in size—6 ft to 7 ft—but it’s getting smashed by strong onshore winds, making a choppy mess. That continues into the first days of September; we see some solid swell building, with Friday the 28th afternoon hitting 8 ft NW swell at 11 seconds and a huge energy reading (1511), but it's coming straight in with onshore winds. Not clean, not for paddling. Frankly, with that much wind and swell, the beach setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing through that period.
Late in the game, around Tuesday the 1st of September, we get a cleaner morning with a little 3 ft WNW swell and light offshore east winds, but it's nothing special. By Thursday the 3rd of September, the swell is back up around 7 ft to 8 ft with a long 12-second period, but again, onshore or cross-onshore winds make it messy and only for the very keen (or expert) on a good bank. That long period stuff can straighten out on the beach too.
So really, if you can, make the most of this Saturday morning. After that, it’s a waiting game for most of the next week and a half. Forecasts might change, but right now it’s looking lean.
Stay safe, Rusty.
