The Lowdown
Alright, let’s be honest with you. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty bleak around here. We’ve got a long stretch of small, sloppy surf with winds all over the place. If you’re keen for a paddle, you’ll be fighting for nothing most of the time. The water’s sitting at 75°, which is a good four and a half degrees warmer than usual for this time of year, so at least you won’t need a thick suit.
The first real window of interest is Thursday morning, the 6th. We’ve got a small pulse of NW swell showing 3ft at 8 seconds, with a light NNE cross-offshore breeze making things clean. It’s not going to be epic, but it’s the first time the sandbar at La Graviere (Hossegor) will look semi-decent. The energy is still weak though, coming in at 121, so expect soft, crumbly waves rather than anything with punch.
Then we hit another flat spell. Friday morning the 7th is glassy, but the swell drops right off to 3ft at a short 6 seconds, and the energy is almost nothing. The weekend is a write-off – tiny, onshore, and messy. Don’t even bother.
We get a slight glimmer on Tuesday morning, the 11th. A clean 3ft NW groundswell at 10 seconds with a light offshore E wind. The energy is moderate at 135, so there might be a few lined-up waves for the more experienced crew. It’s still small, but it’s the best shape we’ve seen in a few days.
The middle of the week turns back to junk. Lots of onshore wind and tiny swell, nothing worth getting wet for. The 15th and 16th see a bit more size – up to 4ft and 4ft – but the wind is all over it, making for choppy, poor conditions. The energy is moderate, but the quality just isn’t there.
Now, for the one true standout. The morning of Wednesday, the 19th, is looking like the pick of the entire forecast. We’ve got a clean 4ft WNW groundswell at 9 seconds, and the wind is dead calm, glassy. The combined energy jumps right up to 264, which is the strongest we’ve seen. This is the one to circle. The sandbar should finally have some proper shape and power. The wind is due to swing onshore in the afternoon, so you’ll want to be out there early. It’s a long way out, so treat it as promising, but not a done deal.
For the week after that, the 20th still has some size at 4ft, but the winds turn onshore, making it messy. The long-range stuff is all about the 19th. Keep your fingers crossed.
So, bottom line: it’s going to be a grind for the next week and a half, but that Wednesday morning on the 19th has real potential. The rest is just waiting.
