The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. The next couple of weeks are a bit of a mixed bag for us here, but there are definitely some windows to make the most of.
The immediate future is pretty quiet. The first few days are only offering up some knee-to-waist high, weak waves. If you’re desperate for a splash, the mornings are glassy and clean, but there’s just not a lot of push behind them. The afternoons get chopped up by the sea breeze anyway, so it's not the kind of session you’d write home about.
The first real standout is shaping up for Thursday the 17th. We’ve got a new swell filling in from the northwest, pushing chest to head-high waves. The morning is looking absolutely perfect, with light offshore winds and glassy conditions. This is the kind of session where the sandbar at La Graviere (France) will do its thing and you’ll be getting some proper waves. The energy is building, too, with a combined energy of 593, so there’s some grunt behind it.
After that Thursday morning, the weekend gets a bit jumbled. The swell tries to stick around but the winds get messy each afternoon. Still, the mornings have potential. Sunday the 20th is another one to look at, with similar size surf and the same story: glassy, offshore conditions in the morning offering up some clean, lined-up walls. The following Monday morning, the 21st, looks even better. It's completely calm, with head-high waves and a long period to them. These longer-period swells could make the beach break a little straight, but with the tide and banks, there should be some excellent, rippable walls to be found.
There’s a bit of a lull after that, with some smaller, weaker surf midweek. But don’t be fooled, the ocean is just catching its breath. The forecast for the following Wednesday the 23rd and Thursday the 24th is looking like the pick of the second week. Both mornings have clean, offshore winds again. On the 23rd, we're looking at head-high, powerful waves, and the energy readings are big, with a combined energy of 891. This is proper groundswell stuff. Thursday the 24th is similar, just a touch bigger, with morning offshores again. It’s going to be a waiting game, but these two days look like they’ll be well worth it.
Just a heads-up, as we get towards the end of the window, around the 25th, there’s a bigger, more powerful swell pushing in, but the winds are looking wrong, coming onshore. That one looks like it’ll be messy and blown out, more for the windsurfers than us surfers. So, for now, bank those morning sessions on the 17th, 20th and 21st, and keep an eye on those last two mornings of the 23rd and 24th. They're looking like the real gems. The water temp is sitting around average for this time of year, so a spring suit is still the call.
Always remember, the long-range stuff is always a bit of a gamble, but it's looking promising.
