Table - best surf conditions forecast for Hossegor - La Centrale over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Hossegor - La Centrale. To be honest, the next 16 days are a bit of a mixed bag, and we’ve got a real slow start on our hands.
The opening days are pretty flat and messy. There’s nothing to get excited about right away. We’re looking at a gap of several days with no real recommendations until we get into the second week. The swell is tiny and the conditions are ordinary. It’s not until Saturday the 18th of July that we start to see a bit of life, with some chest-high swell (3ft to 4ft) pushing in from the NW, but the onshore wind is going to make it choppy. The combined energy starts to pick up, hitting 107 and then 181, so it’s moderate, but the wind is a problem. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The real standout, and the only one worth getting properly stoked about, is Thursday the 23rd of July. The morning at La Centrale is going to be absolutely glassy – dead calm, zero wind. The swell is a clean 3ft from the NW with a period of 8 seconds, giving a combined energy of 93. It’s nothing huge, but with that mirror-flat surface, it’s going to be a joy. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so don’t expect any surprises there. Keep in mind this spot is exposed and can get crowded, so be prepared to share the peaks.
After that, Friday the 24th of July morning also looks promising. We get a light offshore wind from the east with a clean 3ft NW swell, period of 9 seconds, and energy of 148. It’s a little more push than the day before, and the offshore breeze will hold the waves up nicely. This is your second-best window.
The very end of the outlook starts to build some taller swell, with 5ft on the 19th of July and 4ft on the 21st, but the wind is all over the place and the conditions are described as poor. The 25th of July shows a bump in period to 11 seconds and energy of 250, but it’s onshore wind again. Those are long-range looks, so nothing to bank on just yet.
So, to sum it up: the first week is a write-off. The second week delivers two clean windows, with Thursday the 23rd of July being the absolute pick of the litter for the glassy conditions.
Rusty.
