The Lowdown
Alright, same story, but in feet and miles. It’s Rusty, and I’m telling you, Hossegor - La Centrale is not looking friendly for the next two weeks.
From now until the 28th of July, there’s a big, dry gap. The water is a surprisingly warm 77°, which is way above normal for the time of year.
The one and only day that might be worth a look is the morning of Tuesday, 28th July. The wind will be blowing offshore from the East, just a light breeze, so it should be clean. The swell is from the NNW at 4ft, with a period of 10 seconds and a combined energy of 311 (moderate). That’s a decent groundswell for the spot, but because it’s an exposed beach, that long period can make the waves a bit too straight. Still, it’s the best we’ve got.
The rest of the run is a total dud. Onshore winds, tiny swell, or weak energy (readings like 37, 27, and 23). There’s a few glassy mornings on the 31st July, 3rd August, and 5th August, but the swell is so small (1ft to 2ft) it’s barely surfable. The 7th of August morning has clean offshore wind again, but the swell is a measly 2ft. For a spot that needs a bit of juice, this is a long, flat spell. If you’re a kite surfer, the 25th of July has a solid 7ft swell with strong onshore wind – that’s your game, not mine.
So, the only real highlight is the morning of the 28th July. Lock it in, but don’t expect fireworks. The rest is a waste of wax.
Rusty.
