The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, checking the outlook for Hossegor - La Graviere. Got to be honest, it’s a bit of a flat spell for the most part.
For the first week, from Thursday, the 13th of August, right through to Wednesday the 20th, it’s a total no-go. The swell is tiny, winds are messy cross-onshore, and the wave energy is weak (between 18 and 182). A few mornings have lighter breezes, but there’s just not enough swell to paddle for.
The first real chance comes on Friday morning, the 21st of August. Swell bumps up a bit to 4ft from the northwest, and the energy hits a moderate 206. It's still got a light cross-onshore breeze, so it’s only just surfable. That afternoon the energy climbs to 233, but it's a cross-shore chop again.
Now, pay attention to this. Saturday morning, the 22nd of August, is the clear winner in this whole window. We’ve got a 4ft northwest swell, and the wind goes totally glassy. Dead calm. That’s going to clean up La Graviere beautifully. The combined energy is a solid 247 (moderate), with a 10-second period. Get down there early because on a Saturday morning with clean conditions, you can bet the crowds will be out in force. It won't be big, but it’ll be clean and fun.
After that, it fades. Sunday the 23rd has some glassy conditions in the morning, but it’s only 2ft and weak. By Monday the 24th it’s back to ankle-biters. Tuesday the 25th looks nasty, with a near-gale onshore wind hitting 31 mph, making a complete mess of the 3ft swell. Leave the board at home.
Finally, on Friday morning, the 28th of August, we get another promising one, but it’s over a week out, so keep an eye on it. The call is for a 4ft northwest swell with a clean offshore easterly breeze at 9 mph and a combined energy of 216 (moderate). That’s a recipe for a clean session if it holds.
So, bottom line: the first week is bust. Your only real shots are Saturday the 22nd in the morning, and maybe, with a bit of luck, Friday the 28th. That Saturday morning is your best bet.
