The Lowdown

Right off the bat, the options are pretty slim, but there’s a couple of windows that’ll get the blood pumping. Let me break it down for ya.

The first surfable look is Sunday afternoon the 6th of September, but honestly, it’s a write-off – 4ft of NW swell with a cross-shore wind and poor conditions. Not worth paddling out. We’re looking at a bit of a dry spell until we hit the morning of Wednesday the 9th. That morning brings a solid 6ft of NW swell at 9 seconds, but the wind is cross and the surf is marginal. The combined energy is moderate, reading 560. It’s messy though.

Then things start to clean up. Thursday morning the 10th of September is the first real standout. At Hossegor - La Centrale, we’ve got 4ft of NW swell coming in at 10 seconds, with glassy conditions – that’s dead offshore from the ENE at 5 km/h. The combined energy is moderate at 358, and the forecast is calling for good surf. This is your best early bet. The water temp is 73°, which is 4° warmer than the long-term average – that’s notably warmer than usual for this time of year, so you might not need a full suit.

There’s a gap of ordinary conditions after that, with small surf and onshore winds, until we get to the morning of Sunday the 13th. That morning has a glassy, clean look with 2ft of NW groundswell at 13 seconds. It’s small, but the combined energy is moderate at 250 and the wind is cross-offshore. It’s a long-period wave, so it’ll have more shape and be better for the point setup here, but it’s not a standout for size.

The real highlight of the entire 16-day window is the morning of Tuesday the 15th of September. We’re looking at 5ft of NW swell at 12 seconds, with glassy conditions – light wind from the SSW at 5 km/h. The combined energy is strong at 505, and the forecast says very good surf. This is the one to circle. The water is still warmer than average, and with offshore winds, La Centrale will be firing. It’s an expert wave here, and crowds are sometimes a thing, so get in early. The swell direction is NW, and this spot loves that W to NW angle.

After that, the wind goes onshore and the surf gets choppy for a few days. The morning of Saturday the 19th of September offers another clean window: 4ft of NW swell at 12 seconds with cross-offshore wind. Combined energy is strong at 425, and good surf is expected, but the wind isn’t as perfect as that Tuesday morning. It’s a solid secondary option.

The last day worth mentioning is Monday morning the 21st of September – tiny 1ft of WNW groundswell at 13 seconds, glassy, but very ordinary.

All in all, the standout is Tuesday the 15th of September – that’s your session. Thursday the 10th is a solid backup. The rest is mostly blown out or too small. Don’t waste your energy on anything else.
