The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for Hossegor - La Centrale over the next couple of weeks.
Straight up, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it: this is a grim outlook. We’ve got a long, dry spell ahead. For the first several days, there’s barely a ripple worth paddling for. The energy is weak, the winds are messy, and the call is to stay on the beach.
The first real glimmer doesn’t show up until Thursday morning, the 6th of August. It’s not a standout, but at least it’s something. The swell is coming from the WNW at 3 ft, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy sits at 126 (moderate), and with a light cross-offshore breeze from the NE, the surface is actually clean. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. You’ll be scratching for waves.
The other tiny window is on Tuesday morning, the 11th of August. We’ve got glassy conditions – dead calm, WSW wind at 0 mph – and a little 3 ft NW swell (period 8 seconds). The energy is only 77 (weak), so it’s small and weak, but at least it’s clean. You could get a few if you’re desperate.
Then again, on Friday morning the 14th of August, we see another glassy morning with 2 ft of swell from the west, period 9 seconds. Energy is a measly 50 (weak). Again, very ordinary, but clean.
The best of a bad bunch? Honestly, Thursday the 6th morning is the pick. Clean conditions, moderate energy, and a touch more size. The water temperature is sitting at 76°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – a proper anomaly of 5°F warmer, so you can leave the thick suit at home.
Don’t expect any heroics. This is a period for tuning your log or waiting for the next proper swell. The forecast can always change, but right now, it’s a flat spell for Hossegor.
Rusty.
