The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Gonna give you the straight-up word on the next couple of weeks at Hossegor - La Graviere (France). Let's be honest, it's a bit of a slow burn. We're looking at a whole lot of lumpy, onshore, and generally disappointing conditions for the first week, with a few flickers of hope later on.

We start off Friday the 24th with a tiny, weak 2ft swell from the NNW, but it's glassy in the morning. The water is a very unusual 76°, which is a solid 6° warmer than normal for this time of year. But that's the only good news. The swell is short period at 5 seconds and the wave energy is weak (23), so it's just not worth a paddle. The wind then flips onshore and picks up, and the weekend is a write-off. Saturday the 25th sees a bump in size to 6ft-7ft, but it's absolutely shredded by a fresh 19 mph onshore wind. The wave energy is moderate (329) ramping up to strong (492), but the quality is poor – it's a messy, wind-blown mess. Sunday the 26th is more of the same: 6ft from the NW with a moderate cross-onshore. It's not worth looking at.

Monday the 27th is a bit better with a 4ft swell from the NW, but it's still a bit cross-shore and the energy is moderate (225). The afternoon gets a bit bigger (5ft) and the period improves to 10 seconds, but the cross-onshore wind makes it choppy. Still not a green light.

Tuesday the 28th morning is our first real standout. A light offshore breeze from the ESE will clean up a 4ft groundswell from the NW. The period is a nice 10 seconds, and the energy is moderate (305). This is the window for a session. The waves will be clean and lined up, but it's not huge, so it's good for a wide range of surfers. The afternoon turns cross-shore and messy, so get out early.

Then we hit another dry spell. Wednesday the 29th through to Friday the 31st of July is all small, weak, and largely onshore or cross-shore junk. Swell heights drop to 3ft-3ft with energy dropping below 100 (weak). The mornings of Thursday the 30th and Saturday the 1st of August have a moment of glass, but the swell is just too small and weak to get excited about.

The real standout of the whole outlook is Sunday the 2nd of August. We get a clean morning with a light offshore breeze from the East. The swell is a solid 4ft from the NW with a very long period of 11 seconds. The wave energy is strong (404). This is a proper groundswell, so it will have plenty of punch and shape. The long period will mean longer waits between sets, but the quality will be high. This is the one to circle on the calendar. The afternoon turns cross-shore again, so it's a morning mission.

Monday the 3rd of August sees a jump in size to 6ft-7ft from the NW with a very long period of 11 seconds and strong energy (702-920), but the wind is onshore and poor. That's a frustrating combination. From there, the second week tails off into small, weak, and onshore wind again, with barely a sniff of quality until the very end of the forecast on Saturday the 8th of August. That morning sees a 3ft, weak (78) short-period swell from the NNW with glassy conditions, but it's just ordinary.

So, to sum it up: the first week is mostly a miss. The one clear window is Tuesday morning, July 28th, for a clean, fun-sized session. But the big one to look forward to, if it holds, is Sunday morning, August 2nd, for a proper, powerful groundswell with clean conditions. After that, the surf looks to dry up again. It's a frustrating pattern, but those two mornings are where you want to be.

Rusty.
