The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s on the table for Hossegor over the next couple of weeks.
The outlook starts with a bit of a tease, but honestly, the first week is a tough one. We’ve got a small window of clean surf on Tuesday morning, July 28th, but it’s pretty short-lived. After that, the forecast goes quiet for a solid stretch. From Wednesday the 29th right through to the end of the first week of August, the conditions are pretty poor. A lot of onshore wind, minimal swell, and the energy is just too weak to get excited about. This is a real lull, and it’s not unusual for the area to hit a flat spell like this mid-summer, so don’t go throwing your boards in the rafters just yet.
The real standout is further out. If you’ve got patience, mark your calendars for the morning of Monday, August 10th. That’s when the La Gravière sandbar (Hossegor) finally wakes up. We’re looking at a clean 5 ft NW swell with a groundswell period of 10 seconds, pushing a solid 469 of combined energy. The wind is glassy from the NNE, and that’s about as good as it gets for a morning session. This is the best on offer for the whole period. The swell direction is a solid NW, which is what this break loves, and the water temperature is about average for the time of year.
Now, a quick heads-up: the Sunday before, August 9th, starts to show some life with a similar 5 ft to 6 ft NW swell, but the wind is a bit messy on the afternoon, so the Monday morning is the clear winner. The Glassy conditions on Monday morning will make the take-off a lot easier, and the 10-second period means the waves will have decent shape.
The following Tuesday morning, August 11th, also looks promising with another clean, glassy morning and 5 ft NW swell. The energy is still strong at 347, so it’s a solid back-up option, but the Monday morning is the one to chase.
That’s the long and short of it. A flat first week, then a couple of crackers in the second week. Keep your eyes on the forecast, and don’t sleep on that Monday morning.
Rusty.
