The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's get into it.
First up, I gotta be straight with you. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for Hossegor - La Graviere. We've got a long, flat spell ahead. The swell is tiny, the wind is onshore or cross-on most of the time, and the water's been weirdly warm – 75°F with a 6°F anomaly, which is very unusual for this time of year. It's going to feel like a warm bath out there.
The first real hope doesn't show up until Thursday, the 31st of July, and it's only for the morning. That's a big gap of nearly two weeks of poor conditions. For that Thursday morning, we finally get a pulse of energy. The swell is coming from the NW with a 7ft face and a period of 12 seconds. That's a proper groundswell, and the combined energy is a hefty 1092, which is strong. The wind is forecast to be glassy from the NE, so it should be clean. This is a setup for the experienced crew only – it's a big, powerful wave that will be punching through. The problem is it's a short window; by the afternoon, the wind swings cross-on from the NNW and the quality drops right off. For the advanced surfer who can handle it, that Thursday morning window is the only standout in the entire forecast.
Don't bother with the rest of the period. It's a full write-off until that one morning session on the 31st. Keep your eyes peeled for updates, though, because a blank run like this doesn't usually last forever.
