The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's look at what we've got coming up for Hossegor - La Graviere.
Honestly, it’s a mixed bag for the next couple of weeks. We start off with a bit of a flat, bumpy stretch. The first few days are pretty much a write-off with small, weak windswell and onshore winds messing things up. There’s a big gap between now and the first real glimmer of hope.
That first true standout is shaping up for the morning of Saturday, August 29th. The swell is cleaning up to a clean 5ft from the WNW with a period around 9 seconds. The wind is going glassy, dead off the SE. That’s the kind of morning where it’s just you and the ocean, with clean lines rolling in. Combined wave energy is moderate at 362. This is the pick of the first week for sure.
Then we get another good one on Sunday, August 30th morning. Similar story: 5ft of WNW swell, period of 8 seconds, and glassy conditions again with a light easterly breeze. Combined energy is 339. That’s another morning session to circle on the calendar.
After that, things get messy again for a few days with onshores and bumpy surf. The wind just doesn't play nice.
Now, jump ahead to Sunday, September 6th. This is the real gem of the entire forecast window. Both the morning and afternoon are showing “very good surf conditions” with a solid 6ft of WNW groundswell packing a period of 11 seconds. The wind is light and cross-offshore from the SSE in the morning, switching to a light NE in the arvo. Combined wave energy is a strong 876, so there’s plenty of power behind these waves. That deep-water groundswell will wrap in nicely and should produce some cracking barrels at La Graviere. It’s more than a week out, so keep an eye on the charts, but this one has real potential.
A heads-up for Tuesday, September 8th. The model is showing a big 12ft to 10ft WNW swell with a very long period of 14-15 seconds. The combined energy is massive at 4900 and 3555. This is expert territory only. For the average punter, this will be too big and dangerous, and the long period will make it close out hard on a beach break like this. It’s more of a spectator day unless you’re a charger on a gun.
So, to sum it up: the two standout glassy mornings of Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th August are your best early calls, but the real heavy-hitter is looking like Sunday, September 6th. Surf’s on, but you gotta pick your windows.
Stay frothing,
Rusty
