The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what the Atlantic’s got cookin’ for us at Hossegor.
Right now, we’re looking at a pretty flat and frustrating run to kick things off. There’s just nothing doing for the first few days. We’ve got a solid gap here with no real surf on offer until the weekend. Hang tight.
The first whisper of something rideable shows up on Saturday, August 29th, in the morning. It’s not a monster, but that early session is calling. We’ve got a clean 5.6ft swell rolling in from the WNW, and here’s the kicker – the wind is glassy, dead calm from the ESE. That’s the ticket for La Graviere. The water is sitting at a balmy 76°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you can leave the thick wetsuit at home. The swell energy is moderate at 440, and with that period around 9 seconds, it’ll have a bit of shape. By the afternoon, the nor’westerly picks up and spoils it, so get out there early.
Sunday, August 30th, morning is another window. The swell drops a touch to 3.9ft, but it’s still glassy with zero wind from the NE. It’s surfable, just very ordinary conditions. The energy is down to 179, so it won’t have much punch. Again, the afternoon wind from the NW messes it up.
Looking further ahead, there are a couple of standouts that are worth circling on the calendar. Tuesday, September 1st, morning looks proper. That early session has offshore wind from the East at just 6 mph, cleaning up a 4.6ft WNW swell (moderate energy at 327). That’ll be smooth.
But the real gem, the one that has me stoked, is Wednesday, September 2nd, morning. We’ve got offshore wind from the East again, cleaning up a 3.6ft NW swell. The wave energy is a solid 394, and the period hits 9 seconds. For La Graviere, that’s a beautiful combo – clean, lined-up sandbars. Get on it.
Later that Wednesday afternoon, the swell picks up to 5.6ft with a longer 11-second period and energy jumps to 664, but that cross-shore wind from the North will chop it up. Keep an eye on it, but the morning is the winner.
After that, the wind gets messy or the swell drops off. There’s a few marginal mornings, but nothing to write home about. The second week looks inconsistent and wind-affected, so don’t hold your breath for magic.
Stay frothy.
