The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Hossegor - La Graviere over the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you, it’s a bit of a mixed bag, and frankly, for the first week and a half, it’s pretty grim. We’ve got a lot of onshore wind and small, weak swell, so don’t be in a rush to get the wetsuit on. There’s a little light at the end of the tunnel, but it’s a long way off.
The first real chance of anything decent looks like early on Tuesday the 28th of July. The wind will be offshore from the East, light at just 3 mph, and the water is going to be glassy clean. The swell is small, only 4 ft from the Northwest, but it has a nice long period of 10 seconds, which is a proper groundswell. The energy is moderate (236). It’s not going to be massive, but it’ll be clean and workable. The water temperature is a very unusual 76°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might even get away with a shorty.
Then we have another dry spell until Sunday the 2nd of August. Sunday morning is looking like the standout, and honestly, the only real highlight in the whole forecast. We’ve got a solid offshore breeze from the East at 12 mph, which will groom the hell out of the faces. The swell is a proper 5 ft from the Northwest, with a period of 8 seconds, giving us a moderate combined energy of 338. It’s a sandbar setup, so it should handle the strength well. This is the one to aim for, but keep in mind it’s a long way out, so the forecast could shift. The afternoon gets messy again with a cross-onshore, so get your session in early.
The rest of the second week is more of the same: small, weak, and choppy. The morning of Tuesday the 4th of August could be glassy with 3 ft of swell, and Wednesday the 5th of August morning is also glassy with 3 ft, but the energy is low (153 and 169), and it’s just ordinary. Nothing to get excited about. The longest gap with no real recommendations is basically from now until the 28th, so nearly a week of waiting.
The swell that arrives on the 2nd of August is the biggest of the bunch, and with the offshore wind, it’s your best bet. Just don’t expect a crowd-free lineup – La Graviere tends to get busy, so you’ll have company.
Stay patient, and keep an eye on that Sunday morning.
