The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Hossegor – La Graviere over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the next week and a half is lean. Proper lean. We’re looking at a run of tiny, weak waves and mostly onshore or cross-onshore wind that’s gonna mess up any chance of a clean face. The swell hangs around a piddly 1 ft to 2 ft for days, with energy levels mostly in the 40s and 50s – just not enough push. There’s a pocket on Tuesday morning, the 4th of August, where it goes glassy, but the swell is still only 2 ft from the west, so you’re scratching for the tiny ones. Not worth paddling out for.
The first real glimmer of hope shows up on Thursday morning, the 6th of August. The swell bumps up to 3 ft from the northwest, the energy climbs to 103 (moderate), and we get a clean cross-offshore breeze from the northeast at just 5 km/h. That’ll clean the face up proper. Still, it’s just a ‘surfable but very ordinary’ call – so don’t expect barrels, just a few fun little rights to get the arms going.
Then we go back into the doldrums. Friday the 7th through to Tuesday the 12th is mostly poor, with onshore winds and small, short-period junk. The 9th of August sees a spike in swell to 4 ft, but it’s from the west-northwest with a terrible 5-second period and onshore wind at 20 km/h – that’s just a messy whitewater wall. Not surfable.
Now, if you’ve got patience, the real standout window is the morning of Wednesday the 12th of August. The wind goes dead glassy from the east, zero km/h, and we’ve got a 2 ft swell from the west-northwest with a 9-second period. The energy is 93 – close to moderate. That’s going to be smooth, clean little peelers. The optimum swell direction for La Graviere is west, so this is a solid match. It’s a sandbar, fairly consistent, and it’s an advanced break, so you’ll need to be on your game. Crowds are possible here – it’s Hossegor, after all. Thursday morning the 13th is similar – glassy from the north-northeast, same swell, same quality. Those two mornings are your best bet in the whole 16 days.
The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no worries there.
Bottom line: unless you’re a die-hard kiter looking at the windy, sloppy days, save your energy for the 12th and 13th of August mornings. The rest is a write-off.
Rusty.
