The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's get into what's shaping up for Hossegor.
Right off the bat, we've got a slow start. Don't expect much in the way of proper waves for a few days. The first real standout is gonna be Saturday morning the 22nd at La Graviere. A solid 4ft of swell from the NW, paired with a light offshore easterly wind at 6 mph. That's a clean canvas. The energy is moderate (235), but that offshore breeze will be the key. It's a left-over-right sandbar set-up that can handle a bit of size, so expect some proper walls. The water is much warmer than usual for this time of year, around 76°, which is almost 5 degrees above average – a nice bonus if you're in a spring suit.
Now, for the real heavy hitter. Mark your calendars for Friday morning the 28th. The east-southeast offshore wind kicks in at 9 mph, grooming a 6ft groundswell from the NW with a 10-second period. The combined energy is solid (706). This is the kind of setup that makes La Graviere look like a postcard. Clean, powerful lines rolling through. This is your best bet for an expert-level session where everything clicks. Just be aware that when it's this clean and the swell has that length, the rip can be pulling, but the paddle-out is usually easier between sets.
There’s a bit of a lull after that, but then we’re looking at Monday the 31st. The swell hits a massive 12ft from the WNW with a 10-second period. The energy is a beast at 2260. To be clear, this is for experts only – way too big for most. The morning might have the right wind and tide, but at that size, you’re in for a serious and dangerous paddle. This is more for the guns and the tow crew than a normal surfer. After that, Tuesday morning the 1st of September is still solid at 7ft from the WNW, but the wind is onshore, making it a rough option.
Then we get one more gem on Wednesday morning the 2nd of September. A 7ft groundswell from the NW, and it’s glassy. No wind. Zero. That’s a rare and beautiful thing at a heavy beachbreak. The energy is strong (695), and it’ll be clean as a whistle. This is your second standout, promising a session that’s worth the wait.
So, to wrap it up: There's a slow start, but once you get past the first few days, there are two clear standout sessions – Friday the 28th with clean offshores and solid size, and Wednesday the 2nd with glassy conditions and a strong, clean swell. The rest is either too small, too messy, or too big for comfort.
Stay salty.
Rusty.
