The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, giving it to you straight. The next two weeks at Hossegor - La Graviere are mostly a flat, frustrating stretch. You’ll be staring at a lot of small, weak junk until late in the game.
Water temp is sitting at 75°, which is a touch warmer than usual for August—feels like a warm bath, but there’s no push. From Thursday the 13th through the 22nd, it’s mostly dead. We’re talking small windswell from the WNW, only 1ft to 4ft, with short periods barely reaching 8 seconds. The combined swell energy is weak—hitting maybe 141 at best—and wind is onshore or cross-onshore from the NW or W. It’s chop city. A few mornings are glassy, like Wednesday the 19th with 1ft and no wind, but it’s not worth the walk. Just a slow, boring run.
On Sunday the 23rd, you get a pulse: 5ft from the WNW, but period is short at 6 seconds and wind is cross from the N. It’s messy and only moderate energy (146). Not the one.
Now here’s your only real shot—Monday the 24th of August. The morning goes glassy with light SSW wind. Swell hits 8ft from the WNW with a 9-second period. Combined energy jumps to 992—strong stuff. It’s clean, powerful. That morning is the window. But by afternoon the swell pumps to 10ft, same direction, but the wind switches onshore from the W at 12 mph. Energy rockets to 1441—very strong. For La Graviere, that’s too big and blown. Only experts should even look at it. The morning is your best bet for a big, clean session before the wind trashes it.
Tuesday the 25th drops to 5ft with light offshore wind from the ESE, keeping it clean. Energy is moderate at 377. It’s surfable, but it’s a step down.
After that, from Wednesday the 26th on, it’s back to tiny, weak, poor conditions. Friday the 28th morning shows a 3ft swell with clean cross-off wind, but it’s ordinary.
So here’s the bottom line: A long, flat stretch until Monday the 24th. That Monday morning is the standout—8ft, glassy, strong energy—but it’s for advanced surfers only. The afternoon is a blown-out mess. If you’re not an expert, sit this one out. Patience is the name of the game.
Rusty.
