Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's coming down the line for the Hossegor - La Centrale stretch.
Alright, straight up, the news is pretty grim for the foreseeable future. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with very little to get excited about. The first week and a half is a real struggle. For the first several days, from now through the 10th of July, the combo of small, weak swell and onshore or cross-onshore winds means the surf is basically flat and messy. You’d be wasting your time.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on the morning of Saturday the 11th of July. The window opens a crack. We’ve got a tiny 3ft swell rolling in from the WNW, but the key here is the wind. It’s switching to a light offshore easterly breeze at 3 mph. That’s the first time we’ve seen offshore wind in the forecast, and it should clean things right up. The combined energy is still very weak (123), so don't expect much power. It’s a small, clean day for a longboard, but the waves are there. The morning of Sunday the 12th is similar, with a light cross-offshore breeze and a small 2ft WNW swell, giving you another clean window.
After that, we slide back into the doldrums. The swell gets even smaller, and the wind turns ugly again. The 16th of July morning shows a brief moment of glassy conditions with a tiny 3ft NW swell, but it’s barely worth mentioning. The real standout is the morning of the 14th of July? No, that’s a write-off. Actually, looking deeper, nothing really qualifies as a standout here. The best of a bad bunch is the morning of the 11th of July. That’s your best bet. The water temperature is a notable 73°F, which is a whopping 5° warmer than normal, so it’s very unusual for the time of year.
But honestly, for the rest of the 16-day run, the swell is tiny, the period is short, and the wind is mostly junk. The 20th of July morning shows a bump in swell to 5ft but with a short 6-second period and cross-onshore wind, it’s going to be a choppy, sloppy mess. The setup is more interesting for kite surfing than for paddle surfing. This is a classic case of a long, quiet summer run. It tends not to stay this poor forever, but for now, it’s a waiting game.
Rusty, signing off.
