The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty again. Looking at what’s coming into Hossegor - La Graviere, and I’ll be honest – you’ll be waiting a while for anything worthwhile.
The first week and a half is mostly a write-off. Tiny waves, poor winds, and energy readings that barely register – we’re talking 0.2ft to 1ft junk with onshore or cross-onshore breeze from the west and southwest. Combined energy is often under 100, which is weak. A lot of these days are just not worth suiting up for.
There’s a big gap from now until the morning of Sunday, August 30th. That morning is the first ray of light. La Graviere (Hossegor - La Graviere) picks up a clean 5ft NW swell. The wind is a light offshore from the east at 3 mph, making for glassy conditions. Combined energy is 250 – moderate, but with that offshore breeze, it’s the best call for a paddle. The swell direction (NW) lines up well with the optimum west exposure.
After that, it gets sloppy again through the first week of September – onshore winds, messy chunky waves, and the size drops back under 3ft.
Then, on Monday morning, September 7th, you get a long-awaited groundswell: 3ft from the NW, but with a period of 12 seconds – that’s proper energy and lined-up sets. Wind is offshore from the east-southeast at 6 mph, and the combined energy hits 434 (solid moderate). That morning stands out as another good shot, but it’s far out, so keep your expectations flexible.
Water temp is nothing crazy for late summer. Crowds at La Graviere can be a problem sometimes, but on these cleaner, smaller days, it might not be as packed.
Your two real windows are the morning of August 30th and the morning of September 7th. The rest is a lot of waiting.
Rusty.
