The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty.
Look, I’m gonna level with you. I’ve scoured the charts for the next 16 days and it’s a tough gig for Greve de Lacq. The whole period is a long, flat run of pretty ordinary conditions. From the first of August all the way through to the 16th, there’s not a single session that gets the nod. The swell is thin, the wind is often messy, and the energy just isn't there.
Right from the get-go, Saturday the 1st of August, we’ve got a tiny 1 ft W swell but the wind is on it or cross-on, making for poor surf. That pattern sticks around. The morning of Tuesday the 4th of August offers a brief clean-up with a light cross-off wind from the SSW, but the swell is still only 1 ft and the combined energy is a weak 23. It’s the same story on Wednesday the 5th – clean conditions but only 1 ft of swell. The afternoon of the 5th sees a bump up to 3 ft from the W, but the period is a short 7 seconds and the wind goes cross, ruining any shape.
We get a little more size on Thursday the 6th of August, with a 4 ft W swell, but the period is still short (7 seconds) and the wind is cross-on, so it’s choppy and a mess. The combined energy is at 130, so there’s some power in the water, but it’s not surfable.
The best chance, and I’m using that term loosely, comes on the morning of Monday the 10th of August. The wind is light and from the east, giving us a clean look with a cross-off breeze. The swell is 2 ft from the W at 7 seconds, and the combined energy is a weak 50. The file says it’s “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” That’s about as good as it gets in this 16-day window.
After that, the size tries to build again. The morning of Wednesday the 12th of August has a 4 ft W swell with a period of 10 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to a moderate 329. But the wind is cross-on from the NNW, so it’s choppy and poor. The morning of the 14th of August is clean, but the swell is only 2 ft and the wind is howling at 25 mph from the WSW, which is more of a kite session than a paddle surf.
Honestly, there’s just nothing here to get excited about. The spot is exposed to the NW but the swells are small, the periods are short, and the wind rarely lines up. It’s a blank run. For an area like this, that’s a bit more normal. Don’t hold your breath.
Rusty.
