The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here breaking down the stretch for Hossegor - La Centrale.
We’ve got some real juice coming in at the start, and that opening window Sunday the 30th of August is the one to circle. The water is warm, sitting at 74°, a solid 4° above the long-term average, so it’ll feel like a treat early.
Sunday morning the 30th, look for a clean 5ft swell out of the WNW with a 9-second period. Glassy conditions, dead calm from the ENE. The combined energy is at 389, moderate, but with zero wind it’ll be silky. This is the pick of the whole period. This spot is for experts, exposed and punchy, and with crowds possible, don’t sleep on it.
The swell lingers through Sunday afternoon and into Monday the 31st. Monday morning shows 6ft from the WNW, 10-second period, and 553 energy, but onshore wind churns it up. Monday afternoon bumps to 6ft with 684 energy, but it’s cross-onshore and messy.
Tuesday the 1st of September is another good one. Morning glass returns with a light offshore from the ENE, clean 5ft from the WNW, 10-second period, and 419 energy. That’s a fine window for a dawn paddle.
From Wednesday the 2nd, it drops off fast. Wednesday morning is glassy but just 3ft with only 148 energy – surfable but nothing special. Thursday the 3rd is tiny, barely 2ft. There’s a three-day stretch of weak, flat stuff.
Saturday the 5th of September brings a new push. It’s a longer-range call, so keep it in the back of your head. Morning shows 6ft from the NW, 11-second period, with a clean offshore wind from the east. The combined energy is 851, a solid moderate-to-strong pulse, and that’s the second standout. Sunday the 6th keeps it rolling with 5ft from the NW, 11-second period, offshore ESE breeze, and 457 energy. Good times.
From Monday the 7th, it’s a long, flat run. Tiny swell and poor conditions for nearly a week straight. There’s a weak little blip on Tuesday the 8th and again on Saturday the 12th, but nothing you’d bother with. It stays flat and ordinary right through to the end.
So, the takeaway: nail Sunday morning the 30th of August for the cleanest, glassy conditions, and mark Saturday the 5th of September as a hopeful but less certain follow-up.
Rusty.
