The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's break down the next couple of weeks for our local spot.

We've got a bit of a slow start, but some real quality lining up, especially towards the end of the period. The first few days are small and messy, so don't get too excited just yet. The best windows will be Sunday the 13th and then a couple of standout mornings later on.

The first real action we can talk about is Hossegor - La Centrale. It's an expert-only wave, and it's exposed to the west-northwest, which is the direction we want. The water's sitting at 73°F, which is *much warmer than normal* for this time of year, so you might get away with a thinner suit.

Thursday morning, September 10th isn't anything to write home about, with chest-high 4ft swell from the northwest at a 10-second interval. The wind is a light offshore from the east-southeast at 3 mph, which will keep it clean, but the combined energy is only moderate (312). It's surfable but small.

Friday morning, September 11th is flat, forget it. 2ft and weak energy (78).

Sunday morning, September 13th is our first real standout. We've got a 4ft groundswell from the northwest, but the period is a meaty 13 seconds, so it'll have some proper push. The combined energy is a solid moderate (543). The wind is calm, absolutely glassy. This will be peaky, clean, and punchy. If you're an expert, this is the one to circle.

Monday morning, September 14th is another good one. A clean 4ft from the west-northwest at 11 seconds, under glassy conditions with an easterly breeze at 3 mph. The energy is solid (404). It’ll be slightly smaller than Sunday but still very clean.

After that, we hit a lull. Tuesday the 15th through Thursday the 17th is a write-off. The wind is onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell is weak or choppy. Don't bother.

We get a bit of life back Friday morning, September 18th with a clean 4ft from the northwest under a light offshore east wind at 6 mph. It's clean, but it's weak (204). A fun little session if you're itching.

Saturday morning, September 19th is the other real standout. We've got 4ft from the northwest, a long 11-second period, and glassy conditions with a light east breeze. The energy is a very respectable moderate (392). This will be a beautiful, lined-up morning at La Centrale. Expect crowds here as it's a consistent spot, but it'll be worth it.

Sunday morning, September 20th is clean and glassy again with 4ft, but it’s a step down in energy (276).

Now, for the second week, things get real. Monday morning, September 21st is a monster. The swell is a solid 10ft from the west-northwest at 10 seconds. That's a huge amount of water, and the energy is massive (1814). This is expert-only territory and honestly, the forecast says it might be too big even for this break. The wind is light and offshore from the west-southwest though, so if you're an absolute charger, it could be on, but it's not for the faint of heart.

Tuesday morning, September 22nd cleans right up from that. 5ft from the northwest, a 9-second period, and absolutely glassy conditions. The energy is strong (802). This is an incredible morning for the experienced surfer.

Wednesday morning, September 23rd and Thursday morning, September 24th both offer clean, glassy or cross-offshore conditions with 4ft to 5ft swell and good energy (around 400). Consistent, fun, and clean. A great way to finish the outlook.

So, to boil it down: Sunday the 13th and Saturday the 19th are your top-tier picks. Clear your calendar for Tuesday the 22nd as well. The rest is either small, windy, or too big.

Stay stoked.

Rusty.
