The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's look at what Hossegor's got cookin' for us. We're starting this Saturday, the 29th of August, and running through the full 16 days.

The first few days are the real highlight of this whole window, with a solid pulse of groundswell and some unreal morning conditions. We're looking at a classic setup. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so don't expect any thermals needed for the early sessions.

Saturday the 29th kicks things off proper. La Graviere is the spot we're talking about here, a classic exposed sandbar. You'll want to be on it for the Saturday morning session. Swell is a meaty 7ft out of the WNW, with a period of 9 seconds giving it some reasonable shape. The combined energy is moderate at 736, and the best part – a light 3 mph cross-offshore breeze from the SE is going to keep those faces clean. This thing has “expect very good surf conditions” written all over it for an advanced crew. By Saturday afternoon that wind swings NNW and picks up to 12 mph onshore, turning it into a lumpy mess, so don't sleep in.

Sunday the 30th is another gem, maybe the true standout. Morning session is pure gold. The swell drops a touch to 6ft from the WNW, but the period stretches to 10 seconds. The energy is still solid at 600. But the real story? Glass. 0 mph, then an SE 3 mph glass-off – it's going to be like a lake out there with some serious lines rolling in. Pure, clean, powerful waves you can drive a truck through. Don't miss this. Again, the afternoon gets skunked by a 12 mph cross-onshore.

Monday the 31st still has some juice for the early birds. Another 5ft swell from the WNW with glassy conditions and a 3 mph SSE cross-offshore. It's a touch smaller, but clean and very surfable for a few hours.

Tuesday the 1st of September and Wednesday the 2nd see the swell slowly dropping, but the mornings stay glassy with offshore winds. 5ft on Tuesday is still a decent wave for confident surfers, but by Wednesday it's down to 3ft – surfable, but small. The good news is the morning glass stays with us through to Thursday the 3rd, but by then the swell drops off a cliff, falling to 2ft and barely any energy (39). We're looking at a flat spell from Thursday through to the weekend.

Then the models tease us with a pulse for the following week. Saturday the 5th of September shows some promise with a 4ft NW swell and 3 mph offshore wind, giving a clean and rideable morning. That builds nicely into Sunday the 6th with a 4ft NW swell and a bit more period at 11 seconds, with a consistent 9 mph offshore from the east. That is a proper clean session, though the period and direction at a beach break like La Graviere can mean longer waits between sets.

Now listen up, because the best of the second week looks like it could be on Wednesday the 9th of September. The morning session is a proper standout. The swell pumps back up to 6ft from the NW, the period hits 11 seconds, and the combined energy is strong at 828. The wind goes light and offshore from the east at 3 mph – clean and powerful. This one is for the experienced crew only at that size. Definitely a date to circle on the calendar, but being over a week out, you know the deal – it's a promising lead but keep an eye on it. The swell hangs around for Thursday the 10th morning too for a smaller, glassy follow-up session before fading out again into the second weekend.

So, the call is simple: this Saturday morning (29th) and Sunday morning (30th) are the absolute best on offer. Don't even think about a lie-in. The mid-week following has small clean windows, and week two has another potential highlight on the 9th of September.

Stay stoked.
Rusty.
