The Lowdown
Alright, crew, Rusty here. I've been chewing on the numbers for this stretch. We got some real gems coming, but also plenty of flat spells where you'll be twiddling your thumbs. Here's the word.
The first few days are a total loss. Friday the 28th is a mess – onshore wind and rubbish surf, just don't bother. But Saturday the 29th is the one to circle. Hossegor - La Graviere comes alive with a clean 7 ft of WNW groundswell. The morning is pure glass, combined energy of 721 (moderate wave energy) and a 9-second period. That's the session you don't miss. This sandbar is fairly consistent and exposed to the swell, and with a light southeast breeze before it shifts, it'll be lining up nicely for the advanced crew. It's a bit too big for beginners though.
Sunday the 30th morning is another cracker at 5 ft with an 11-second period – that longer period means more power and longer waits between sets. Glassy again, combined energy of 573 (moderate). Monday the 31st and Tuesday the 1st also have good early windows, 5 ft and clean. The afternoons get messed up by wind, so you want to be on it early.
Then mid-week, from Wednesday the 2nd into Thursday the 3rd, the swell tanks. Combined energy drops to under 100. The surf's gone. Thursday morning is just barely surfable with 2 ft, and then it's flat through the end of the week. That's a solid 3-day gap of nothing.
But then, here's the long-range look. Saturday the 5th of September dawns with a clean 3 ft swell, *but* the period is a massive 14 seconds. That's a very long period groundswell, and the combined energy reads 616 (moderate). That's a lot of punch for a small face. Glassy conditions with a light east-northeast breeze. The caveat is that long-period swell can stand up too straight on a beach break, but the quality should still be there. This is a promising one, but we're a week out, so don't count your waves yet.
Sunday the 6th of September morning is solid too: 4 ft from the NW, 11-second period, and a clean offshore breeze. Energy is 400 (moderate). Good session. The following Monday and Tuesday mornings (7th and 8th of September) keep it going with 4 ft to 4 ft and clean winds, combined energy hitting 327 (moderate) on Tuesday afternoon. Nice, clean walls.
After that, the second week fizzles. From Wednesday the 9th afternoon onward, it’s a slow slide into poor, small surf. The 10th and 11th of September are particularly grim, combined energy down to 78 and 141 (weak to low moderate). By Saturday the 12th, it's practically flat with a 2 ft dribble and cross-shore wind. A blank run like this is pretty normal for this area when the swell windows are tight.
So, bottom line: the absolute standout is Saturday the 29th of August morning. The long-range bonus is Saturday the 5th of September morning if you're willing to gamble. The crowd at La Graviere can be thick, so expect company on those clean mornings. For the rest, it's a waiting game.
Rusty.
