The Lowdown
Alright, grab yourself a coffee and let me talk you through the next couple of weeks here. I’m Rusty, and this is the outlook for the local stretch.
Right off the bat, the charts aren’t smiling on us. For the entire 16-day window, the energy is just too weak, and the winds are mostly ruining what little bump there is. We’re looking at a massive, frustrating gap with no real surf on offer for almost the whole run. The first couple of weeks are a write-off – tiny swells, onshore winds, and every session is described as "poor surf conditions." It’s that kind of flat spell where you’re better off mending your wetsuit than trying to paddle out.
There’s a tiny flicker of hope on Wednesday, August 6. Early morning at Hossegor - La Graviere, the wind goes light and cross-offshore from the NE, and the water cleans right up. The combined swell energy finally cracks triple digits – we’re talking a weak-to-moderate 124 units of energy pushing in from the NW at about 3 ft and a short period of 8 seconds. That’s not going to have much push, but it’s about as good as it gets. The waves will be small, lumpy, and mostly closed out, but at least it’s not a washing machine. For the brave, you might snag a couple of waist-high closeouts on the sandbar before the wind swings around and messes it up by the afternoon.
After that, it’s back to the same old story. The wind keeps blowing onshore and cross-onshore, the swell stays under 3 ft for days, and the combined energy figures drop back into the 40s and 50s. The only other day that even gets close to interesting is Sunday, August 17 – late in the period – when the afternoon sees a 4 ft NW swell with a period of 10 seconds and the energy jumps to 288. But the wind is cross-onshore from the NW at 9 mph, so it will be a choppy, bumpy mess. If you’re desperate, you could go for a paddle, but no one’s charging out of the carpark for that.
Honestly, this is a tough period for the region. The water temperature at the start is 76°F, which is much warmer than normal for August – almost 5° above the long-term average, so you’ll be comfy in a shorty. But the surf? It’s just not happening.
Keep the sticks in the car and hope the models change. Stay salty.
Rusty.
