The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the region.

Honestly, I'm looking at a pretty flat, uninspiring spell for the next couple of weeks. The swell is small and the wind is mostly a problem. There are no real standouts, but we'll take it day by day.

The first sign of anything surfable doesn't show up until Saturday the 8th of August. The whole first week is a write-off. We're looking at a solid 8-day gap with no real recommendations. The swell is tiny, mostly under 2 feet, and the wind is almost always cross-onshore or onshore, making it choppy and messy. The combined energy is weak, mostly in the 40s and 50s (low energy), so there's just no punch.

Finally, on the morning of Saturday the 8th, we get a bit of a reprieve. Hossegor - La Centrale will see a small 3-foot swell from the WNW. The wind goes glassy, which is a massive positive. The catch is the swell period is a short 7 seconds, so it won't have much push. The wave energy is still low at 75. It's surfable, but very ordinary. The break is an expert-level spot, and it's a beach break, so with that short period it'll be a bit crumbly.

Then on Sunday the 9th of August, the morning glass-off returns with a tiny 2 to 2-foot swell from the west. Combined energy is 63. It's small, clean, and maybe worth a longboard paddle, but nothing to get excited about.

The rest of the outlook into the second week is more of the same: small swells, plenty of onshore wind, and low energy. There's a brief moment of glassy conditions on the morning of the 11th, but with a tiny 1-foot swell, it's barely a ripple.

The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so no wetsuit surprises.

So, to sum it up: the best of a bad bunch is the morning of Saturday the 8th of August at Hossegor - La Centrale. It's clean, glassy, but tiny. If you're a beginner, it's not too big, but it's an expert wave, so be careful. The crowd there is "sometimes" heavy, so it could be a bit of a battle for the few scraps. Honestly, for the rest of the time, the setup looks more like a kite surfer's dream than a paddle surfer's.

Rusty.
