The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming down the line for Hossegor - La Graviere (sandbar).
The next few days are a bit of a write-off, to be honest. We’re looking at a long, flat spell to start. From Monday the 31st through to Thursday the 4th of September, there’s really nothing doing. The swell is small, the wind is messy, and it’s just not worth paddling out. You’ll be fighting cross-on breezes and tiny, weak waves. The water temperature is sitting at 74°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – a solid 4° above average, so you can get away with a spring suit.
Then we get a glimmer of hope. Friday morning the 5th of September, things turn around. The wind drops to glassy, and we get a 3ft groundswell from the NW with a long period of 13 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (508). That’s a clean, glassy morning and the best conditions we’ve seen in a while. It’s not huge, but it’s clean and the sets will have some push. This is a standout for the period.
Saturday the 6th of September morning is also a cracker. Glassy conditions again, with a 5ft NW swell, 12-second period, and moderate energy (655). That’s a solid morning of waves, clean faces, and the kind of session that reminds you why you love this place.
After that, we drop off again. The 7th through the 12th of September are mostly poor, with onshore winds, cross-chop, and small wave heights. There’s a quick look on Thursday the 10th morning – 4ft, glassy, with a short period of 8 seconds – but it’s a letdown compared to the weekend.
Now, looking way out, Tuesday the 15th of September morning brings a big pulse: 7ft from the WNW, 14-second period, and very strong combined energy (1610). That’s a heavy, powerful groundswell. But the wind is onshore, and it’s flagged as marginal. This one is for experts only at that size, and the wind might ruin it. It’s a long-range call, so keep an eye on it, but don’t book the day off work just yet.
Overall, the best bet is Friday the 5th of September morning at La Graviere, with glassy conditions and a clean NW groundswell. The Saturday morning is also a real treat. The rest of the window is mostly flat or blown out, so make the most of those two mornings.
Rusty.
