Hossegor - La Graviere Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, folks. Rusty here, checking the charts for Hossegor - La Graviere over the next couple weeks. It’s gonna be a mixed run, but we’ve got a couple real moments to look forward to.

Wednesday the 9th is a total dud. Rain showers and a solid 6ft northwest swell, but that north cross-shore wind is gonna tear it to bits. Not worth the paddle.

Thursday the 10th is where we get a look. The morning is glassy with 4ft of NW swell. The wind’s out of the SE at just 3 mph, so it’s going to be clean. The water is 73°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – that’s a proper bonus. The energy is moderate (312). Not huge, but clean and fun.

Friday and Saturday (11th and 12th) drop way off. Tiny 2ft to 3ft glassy mornings, but the energy is weak (78 to 90). You could float on a longboard, but there’s no grunt in it.

Now, here’s the one to circle. Sunday the 13th morning. Dead calm, glassy conditions, with a solid 4ft groundswell from the NW running on a very long 13-second period. The combined energy is strong (501). This is the kind of clean, powerful wall that makes La Graviere sing. Expect very good surf. It’ll be a morning where it’s hard to wipe the smile off your face.

Sunday afternoon gets a bit bumpy with a cross-shore, and Monday the 14th has another clean morning with 4ft of NW swell (433 energy), so that’s another decent session before the wind switches onshore.

From the 15th to the 17th, it’s small and messy. The 18th has a glassy 4ft morning, but nothing special.

Looking into the second week, the real long-range bet is Saturday the 19th of September. The morning is clean with cross-offshore winds and 4ft of NW swell with a very long 14-second period (482 energy). The afternoon gets even better – 5ft with a 12-second period (627 energy) and still clean. It’s a bit far out, so call it promising but not locked in. Expect the lineup to be busy, crowds are sometimes a thing here, and with this quality of surf, it’ll be a popular spot.

The 20th and 21st are blown out. Then Tuesday the 22nd has a clean morning with 4ft of NW swell at a 12-second period (401 energy), but the afternoon turns onshore.

Then look at Wednesday the 24th of September. We get a big pulse of swell – 6ft with a 12-second period from the NW and massive energy (913). That’s a lot of water. The wind is cross-shore, making it marginal and choppy for surfing. Over 5ft, it’s getting too big for beginners, and with that cross-breeze, it’s really an expert-only zone, or honestly, it’s looking more like a kite session.

To wrap it up: Sunday the 13th morning is your absolute winner – clean, powerful, and glassy. Saturday the 19th is your second look, but keep an eye on it as the date gets closer.

Rusty out.
