The Lowdown

Alright, let’s get into it. The long-range picture for La Graviere is a bit of a grind, to be honest. There’s a real flat spell coming up, then a couple of pulses that might get the blood flowing, but nothing that’s going to have you calling in sick for a week.

First up, the coming days are pretty rough. We’ve got a small, weak swell on Sunday the 16th, but it’s shadowed by onshore vibes and the surf is just gutless. This stretch of small, poor surf is going to stretch out for a while. From the 17th through the 20th, we’re looking at tiny waves, often onshore and choppy. Energy readings are low, like 14 to 152, mostly weak to moderate with poor shape. We’re in a real funk.

The first sign of life comes on Friday morning the 21st. The swell bumps to 4ft from the northwest with a period of 11 seconds. That’s the first time the period starts to get some length, and the energy jumps up to 360 (moderate). It’s still only a marginal call with the onshores kicking in for the afternoon, so surf it if you’re desperate, but keep the expectations low.

Saturday the 22nd is similar – about 3ft but with clean, glassy conditions in the morning. That’s a highlight, but the swell is small. Then we get a proper clean-out starting Sunday the 23rd. The wind turns offshore from the east, and that cleans up the 2ft and 3ft leftovers. It’s surfable, but still weak.

The next window is Monday the 24th. Early there’s a clean 3ft from the NW with east winds. That’s our best bet for a long time. But it’s all over by the afternoon as the wind swings west and rips the surface apart.

Then the taps get turned off. Tuesday the 25th through Thursday the 28th is dead flat. Nothing worth paddling for. This is a real dry spell, a solid four days of nothing. The energy numbers are in the single digits to the low tens, and the swell is gone.

We start to see some signs of life again on Saturday the 29th. There’s a bit more energy (238) and the swell jumps to 3ft but it’s messy and onshore. Not a goer.

The best of the lot looks like it could be Sunday morning, the 30th of August. We have 4ft of NW swell with a 9-second period, light winds, and energy at 253 (moderate). Still a bit cross-on, but it might have some push. This is a long-range call though, so treat it as promising, not guaranteed. The water temp is about average for this time of year, no big anomalies to get excited about.

So, honestly, the standout is Monday morning the 24th – clean, glassy, offshore wind, and a bit of swell. It’s not big, but it’ll be the cleanest surf of the lot. The other one to watch is the Sunday the 30th, but that’s a week and a half away, so don’t book your flights yet. Big picture, it’s a weak and inconsistent run for La Graviere.
