Seignosse is a powerful beach break on the Landes coast, immediately north of Hossegor. The beaches (Les Estagnots, Le Penon, Les Bourdaines) face west and receive the same canyon-amplified swell as Hossegor. The banks produce heavy, hollow waves but with slightly more breathing room than La Graviere. Pine forests and dunes back the beach. It offers Hossegor-quality surf with marginally less crowd pressure.
Best at low to mid tide with solid westerly groundswell and easterly offshore wind. The 4-8ft range produces heavy, barrel-capable waves. September through November offers the best combination of banks and swell. The canyon effect amplifies incoming swell energy.
Les Estagnots is the most consistent section. Le Penon is slightly more sheltered. Each beach has defined peaks depending on the bank configuration. Walk the dune paths between beaches to find the best section. The banks change season to season.
Powerful waves with genuine barrel force. Heavy shorebreak. Rip currents. Similar hazards to Hossegor but spread across a wider area. The sand is hard on impact. Experienced surfers should exercise caution; less experienced surfers should stick to smaller days.
Pay car parks in the pine forest behind each beach. Boardwalk paths through the dunes. Basic facilities at each beach. The pine forest provides shelter for changing.
Less crowded than Hossegor's main beaches. The spread of options disperses people. Good days see 15-25 people per beach. The atmosphere is slightly more relaxed than the intense Hossegor lineup. Dawn sessions offer the best conditions and fewest people.
Seignosse is the insider's alternative to Hossegor. Same quality waves, fewer people, less attitude. Les Estagnots is the most reliable beach for quality banks. Early autumn (September) before the tourist season ends but after summer storms have shaped the banks is the sweet spot. The pine-shaded car parks are pleasant for van life.

Based on historical weekly averages
Combining historical conditions with school holiday crowd pressure to find the sweet spot.
How busy each week is based on school holiday overlap from feeder markets.
The timing score combines two signals: historical conditions quality (how good the skiing or surfing typically is in a given week, based on 5 years of weather data) and crowd pressure (how many of this destination's feeder markets have school holidays that week).
Crowd pressure is weighted by each feeder country's share of visitors. If 40% of a resort's visitors come from France and France is on holiday, that contributes 0.40 to the crowd pressure score. Crowds can reduce the timing score by up to 35%, ensuring conditions still matter most.
Scores: 5 = great conditions with low crowds (the sweet spot). 4 = great conditions with moderate crowds, or good conditions with low crowds. 3 = average. 2 = below average conditions or very crowded. 1 = poor conditions or peak holiday chaos.

We compare the 7-day forecast to the last 5 years of marine data for the same week at Seignosse. The delta tells you whether conditions are shaping up better, worse, or about the same as a typical mid-June.
We score each day of the 7-day forecast using the same algorithm as the leaderboard, and highlight the highest scorer.

Honestly, no. Every break has tide windows, swell directions and reef contours that a global model cannot see. Treat the score as a starting point, then check a local cam.
The best week for surf at Seignosse is the week of 23 November (score 3/5) with low crowds.
Flat as a lake. Save your energy for another day. Short-period wind swell: expect weak, crumbly faces. Moderate wind adding texture to the faces. Best conditions early morning before the sea breeze arrives. Not enough swell to get this spot firing properly.
