The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer down at La Graviere over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, the first week or so is a real struggle. We’ve got tiny, weak waves hanging around with poor energy (72 to 80) and a lot of messy wind. Sunday the 9th is flat with a 0.6m NW windswell and onshore wind – total write-off. The glassy patches on Monday the 10th morning and Wednesday the 12th morning give us a brief moment of clean conditions, but the waves are still only 0.6m and weak (74 and 72), so it’s just small, ordinary surf. Thursday the 13th through to Saturday the 15th is more of the same: small swells, onshore or cross-onshore winds, and poor surf.
There’s a real flat spell from the 17th onwards, with swell heights dropping to 0.5m or less and energy numbers in the 20s and 40s. The offshore E and ESE winds on Monday the 17th and Wednesday the 19th mornings keep the surface clean, but there’s just no size or power to work with.
Now, I have to tell you, we are waiting for a proper pulse. The standout in this entire 16-day window is Saturday the 22nd. We get a jump in swell to 1.5m from the WNW, with a period of 7 seconds. The energy jumps to 255 and 362, which is moderate. The real magic is the Saturday morning session: glassy conditions, light wind, and that solid 1.5m of WNW swell. For La Graviere, that’s going to be the best looking waves we’ve seen in two weeks. The afternoon is a bit more mixed with a cross-shore, but the morning is the time to go. This is the only true standout session.
After that, Sunday the 23rd and Monday the 24th see the swell drop back down and the onshore winds return, bringing back poor conditions.
So, get ready for a lot of waiting, but mark that Saturday the 22nd in your calendar. It looks like the only real payoff.
Rusty.
