The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s size up the surf ahead.
We kick off strong this weekend. The standout session is Saturday morning the 29th of August at Hossegor - La Centrale. Clean 7ft swell from the WNW with a 9-second period. Light cross-off breeze out of the ESE at 3 mph. That energy reading is 736 – that’s a solid, powerful push. This is an expert wave at this size – 7ft is too much for beginners.
Sunday morning the 30th is another beauty. Swell drops to 6ft from the WNW, but the period bumps to 10 seconds, and the wind is glassy – dead calm. Energy is still very healthy at 600. Expect clean, smooth lines.
Monday the 31st morning keeps the good trend: 5ft WNW swell, glassy conditions, energy at 450. Tuesday the 1st of September morning is also glassy with 5ft (411 energy). A great run of clean mornings.
Then it goes quiet. Wednesday the 2nd drops to 3ft, and Thursday the 3rd is tiny at 2ft with hardly any energy (39). There’s a stretch of small, poor surf through the end of the week.
The next bright spot is Saturday the 5th of September morning: 4ft NW swell with a 10-second period and a light offshore breeze from the E at 3 mph. Clean and workable.
Sunday the 6th of September morning offers 4ft NW swell at 11 seconds – longer period – with a gentle offshore from the E at 9 mph. That longer period makes the wave more lined-up, so it won’t be as dumpy, but on a beach break it can run a bit straight. Still, clean conditions make it a good session at La Centrale (France).
The biggest pulse is on Wednesday the 9th of September morning. That’s 6ft of NW swell, 11-second period, and a light offshore from the ESE at 3 mph. The energy jumps to 828 – that’s strong. This is the best looking day of the whole forecast, but it’s over a week out, so stay tuned. La Centrale will be pumping and clean.
After that, things fade. Thursday the 10th of September morning still has 4ft with glassy conditions, but the last few days are small and poor, finishing on Sunday the 13th with a tiny 2ft.
Get out there this weekend and keep an eye on Wednesday the 9th.
Rusty.
