The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it for the next couple of weeks. I’ve got to be honest with you, this is a tough stretch. We’re looking at a long, flat spell to start, so don’t bother rushing down to the beach just yet.
For the first week and a half, it’s a blank run. From Thursday the 30th of July right through to the morning of Tuesday the 11th of August, the surf is tiny and the conditions are just plain poor. The swell is consistently below 3ft, wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the water temps are a standout feature: it’s currently 75° at La Graviere, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s about the only good news. There’s just no wave energy to work with; the combined energy of all swells directed here is often sitting in the weak 40s to 80s, and it drops to as low as 15mm. You’ll be staring at a lake.
The first real glimmer comes on the morning of Tuesday the 11th of August. La Graviere (Hossegor) will see a pulse of 3ft from the NNW. The swell period is a short 6 seconds, so it won’t have much grunt, but the wind is light and offshore from the ENE, making for clean conditions. The combined energy of all swells directed here hits 70 (moderate wave energy). It’s surfable, but very ordinary. The afternoon gets blown out by a strong cross-shore from the NNW at 12 mph, so make your move in the morning.
The next morning, Wednesday the 12th of August, is your best bet. The swell holds at 3ft from the NNW, again with a short 6-second period, but the wind is offshore from the ENE at 6 mph. That’s clean. You’ll be surfing a beach break, so don’t expect perfection, but it’s the only morning with a decent shape on offer. The combined energy of all swells directed here is 73. The afternoon is a write-off with a strong NNE wind.
After that, it’s back to tiny, poorly shaped waves for the rest of the forecast. The morning of the 14th of August brings a 1ft swell from the NW with a longer period of 11 seconds, but it’s hit with a cross-onshore wind, making it messy. Honestly, this is a stretch to sit out. The only standouts are those two mornings, the 11th and 12th of August, and even then, we’re talking about small, short-period waves. If you’re desperate for a paddle, aim for the 12th. Otherwise, keep the board in the car.
Rusty.
