The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Hossegor - La Graviere.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a flat start. Friday the 28th is a write-off – the swell is there around 6ft, but it’s a short period 8 second cross-on mess with a strong onshore breeze. The water is sitting at 75°, which feels much warmer than normal for this time of year, a real anomaly at 5° above average.
The real action gets going on Saturday the 29th. Saturday morning is the first standout. The wind swings around to a light offshore from the SE at 5 km/h, cleaning up a 7ft WNW swell with a 9 second period. The combined energy jumps up to 736 (moderate wave energy), and the conditions are described as clean. This is a solid session for advanced surfers on the sandbar. The afternoon gets chopped up by a NNW wind, so make the most of the morning.
Sunday the 30th is another cracker. Early morning, we get glassy conditions with the same light SE wind, wrapping around a 6ft swell that now has a longer 11 second period. The wave energy is 674 (moderate). The combination of glassy sea and a longer period groundswell is going to produce some proper, well-shaped walls. This is your second standout. Again, the afternoon turns cross-on and messy.
Monday the 31st and Tuesday the 1st of September offer more clean, glassy mornings with 5ft to 5ft swell, but the energy drops a bit. It’s still worth a paddle, especially Monday morning with that glassy start.
After Tuesday, the surf takes a real dive. From Wednesday the 2nd through to the 8th of September, the swell drops below 3ft, the period shortens, and the energy levels fall into the double digits. It’s the kind of stretch where you’re better off working on your pop-up or checking the forecast.
Then, a promising long-range signal appears. On Saturday the 5th of September, we see a new pulse of NW swell at 6ft, but with a very long 13 second period. The combined energy hits 966 (strong wave energy), and the morning is glassy with a light SSW wind. This is a standout for the second week, but being 8 days out, treat it as a strong possibility rather than a sure thing. The long period groundswell will be powerful, and at this size, it’s still manageable for advanced surfers, but that long period can make the sandbars a bit shifty.
From the 6th onward, the onshore winds return and the swell fades again. The 12th shows a very long period 18 second swell from the W, but it’s tiny at 2ft, so not worth the drive.
All in all, the first weekend is the prime window. Get on it for the Saturday morning clean 7ft waves and the Sunday glassy 6ft long-period swell. The rest of the window is mostly a waiting game.
Rusty out.
