Table - best surf conditions forecast for Hossegor - La Centrale over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. So we’re at Hossegor - La Centrale, and I’ll level with you – the ocean’s been in a real bad mood. Water temperature is at 73°F, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, almost 5°F above average, so that’s a bit odd.
For the next two weeks, there’s not much to write home about. From Wednesday the 8th of July, it’s mostly poor surf. The combined swell energy is weak, usually under 100, and wave heights are tiny – around 0.7ft to 2ft. Winds are mostly onshore or cross-onshore, making a mess of things.
The only moment where it gets a little interesting is Saturday the 11th of July. That Saturday morning is glassy – dead calm – with 2ft swell from the WNW and a 9-second period. The energy hits 104, so there’s a little push. It’s surfable but nothing special. Afternoon brings a cross-shore wind and it’s gone.
Then far out, on Thursday the 23rd of July, we see a jump to 7ft swell from the WNW with an 8-second period and energy of 600 – that’s moderate to strong. But the wind is onshore at 10 mph, so it won’t be clean. By the afternoon it’s 8ft and 820 energy, still cross-onshore. That’s expert territory only, and not good shape.
So there’s no real standout here. Best bet is that glassy morning on the 11th, but the swell’s tiny. Otherwise it’s a lot of flat days and chop. You know La Centrale – it sometimes goes quiet, then picks up again. Forecasts can always turn.
Rusty.
