Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ll be straight with you – the next couple of weeks at Hossegor - La Centrale are looking pretty grim for a decent paddle. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak swell and messy wind. There’s a tiny window on the morning of Saturday the 5th that’s worth a mention, but that’s about it. After that, we’re looking at a solid 10-day gap with nothing to recommend.
Saturday morning, July 5th is your best bet, and honestly, it’s the only real standout. It’s not big, with a modest 2ft swell from the WNW, but the key here is the glassy conditions. The wind is dead calm, making it smooth as a lake. The wave energy is weak (145), so it’s more of a longboard or funboard morning. It’s an exposed beach break, so don’t expect perfection, but for a clean, cruisy session, this is it. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing wild.
After that, nothing works. The wind turns onshore or cross-onshore, the swell drops, and the conditions get choppy or blown out. We get a little spike of 4ft – 5ft swell on the 13th and 14th, but it’s accompanied by strong onshore winds, making it a messy, churned-up mess. That’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle session.
The morning of Friday, July 18th gives us another brief moment of calm with 2ft swell and glassy conditions, but the swell is weak and short-period (5 seconds), so it’s not going to produce much. It’s a potential dawny if you’re desperate, but don’t hold your breath.
So, the long and short of it: if you can get out Saturday morning the 5th, you’ll have a peaceful, clean wave. After that, park the board and wait for the next system.
Rusty.
