The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s happening for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, the next week and a half is looking pretty flat and average. The real standout doesn’t show up until the second week, so you’ll need some patience.
The only real window of quality surf on offer is a short burst on the morning of Tuesday, the 28th of July. That’s when Hossegor - La Centrale sees a clean 4ft NW swell with a 10-second period. The wind is offshore from the ESE at 6 mph, which should keep things glassy and lined up. The combined energy is moderate at 318. The water temperature is a very unusual 77°, a massive 7° warmer than average for this time of year—so you might not need a full wetsuit. This is a short-lived window though; by the afternoon, the wind swings cross and it gets messy.
The standout of the entire forecast, and the one to truly circle on the calendar, is the morning of Sunday, the 9th of August. We’ve got a 5ft NW swell rolling in with a solid 10-second period and glassy conditions—calm, zero wind. It’s going to be clean. The combined energy is a solid 363, so there’s some real push behind it. That morning session at Hossegor - La Centrale looks like the best bet of the whole 16 days. Keep in mind it’s an expert-level break here, and it does get crowded sometimes, so get out there early.
The week leading up to that is a write-off, with mostly small, weak, and onshore slop. The 8th of August morning sees a bit of a pulse with a 2ft, 11-second NW groundswell and glassy conditions, but it’s very small, barely surfable. The real energy doesn’t return until the 9th.
So, to sum it up: if you can wait, the morning of the 9th of August is your best chance. The 28th of July morning is a decent backup if you’re desperate. Everything else is a pass.
Rusty.
