Alright everyone, Rusty here. Let's break down the next two weeks for Hossegor - La Centrale.
To be honest, it's a rough outlook. The pattern is super flat and the wind is mostly blowing straight onshore for the whole run. The water temp is 73°, which is about 5° warmer than average for this time of year – that's a big anomaly and you'll feel it on your skin.
The first week is a complete dud. From Monday afternoon the 6th through the end of Saturday the 11th, the waves are tiny, mostly under 3 ft, and the wind is constantly onshore or cross-onshore, making the surface messy. The combined energy is weak, usually below 100 (like 79 on Monday and 53 on Tuesday morning). There's a sliver of clean conditions on Saturday morning the 11th with a light offshore wind, but the swell is a small 2 ft at 9 seconds from the WNW. It's surfable but ordinary, and the energy is moderate (122). Sunday morning the 12th is a similar story with a light offshore and 2 ft from the NW, but the energy is low at 96.
The second week doesn't get much better. From Monday the 13th through Saturday the 18th, the swell stays little, rarely over 2 ft, with the wind remaining onshore. A bit of rain and even a risk of thunderstorms on the 17th, but the quality stays poor. The energy finally starts climbing on the 18th (150 and 123), but with onshore wind and a short period, it's just going to be choppy.
The one true standout is Monday morning the 20th of July. The wind is forecast to be glassy from the ENE – absolute perfection for La Centrale. We'll have a 4 ft swell from the WNW with an 8-second period. The combined energy is 187 (moderate), so it has some push. It's a clean, lined-up prospect for the experts who know the peak. Keep in mind it's over a week away, so it's promising but not locked in.
There's also a small window on Sunday morning the 19th, with 4 ft and 5 ft in the afternoon, but the onshore wind and short period mean it will be poor quality, even with a strong energy reading (264-277).
So, a long, poor run with onshore winds. The only real hope is that glassy Monday on the 20th. For the rest of the time, this is a kite-surfing setup if anything.
Rusty.
