The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down the next couple of weeks for Hossegor - La Graviere.
We’ve got a slow start, but the waiting game pays off. The first few days are a write-off for a proper session, with a moderate NNW cross-breeze and a weak, short-period swell on Thursday afternoon the 10th. The water is a warm 73°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, a nice surprise.
Friday the 11th and Saturday the 12th see tiny, ordinary waves. The only highlight is a brief moment of glassy conditions on Friday morning, but the swell is a measly 2 feet. Not worth paddling out for.
Sunday the 13th sees a pulse of long-period groundswell (13 seconds) from the NW, with the combined energy hitting 501 (moderate). The swell is 4 feet, but it’s a bit cross-on and the forecast is marginal. It’s a tease, not a go-day.
The real action starts to build on Monday the 14th. Morning brings clean, offshore winds from the East and a 4-foot NW swell. The energy is a solid 396. This is where you want to be. The outlook improves further on Tuesday the 17th, with a morning of glassy conditions and a 5-foot NW swell, with strong energy (559). That’s a very good look.
Then, the standout. Mark your calendars for Monday the 21st of September. The morning session is going to be absolute magic. Offshore winds from the East, a 5-foot NW groundswell with a long 13-second period, and the combined energy is a whopping 905 (strong). This is the best the forecast offers. The only catch is that long-period swell can be a bit straight at a beach break, but with offshore wind, La Graviere will be peeling. Later that afternoon, the cross-shore wind kicks in, so get it early.
The last few days of the window are still promising. Thursday the 24th morning shows another good one: a 5-foot NW swell, offshore winds, and a 12-second period with strong energy (736). Friday the 25th is also clean in the morning with a 4-foot NW swell.
So, the long wait is worth it. The absolute best is Monday the 21st, with Thursday the 24th a close second. Don’t sleep on the 17th either. The mid-week gap of poor surf is just a reminder that this coast demands patience, but when it delivers, it delivers.
Rusty.
