The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this 16-day window for Hossegor - La Graviere is a tough one. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with no real surf to get excited about. The whole forecast is a bust, I’m sorry to say. The waves are tiny, the wind is mostly a mess, and there’s just no energy in the water. The combined swell energy never gets out of the weak range, barely cracking 84 (84) at best. This is one of those periods where the ocean just flat-out refuses to cooperate for us paddle surfers.
The first proper recommendation doesn’t even show up, because the conditions are consistently poor. For the entire first week, from Thursday the 30th of July right through to the following Wednesday, you’re looking at surf heights that barely tickle 3 ft, and the wind is almost always a cross-onshore or onshore affair. It’s choppy, messy, and not worth paddling out for. The water temperature is a notable 75°F right now, which is *much warmer than normal* for the time of year, by over 5°F, but that’s about the only thing going for it.
We hit a couple of glassy mornings – Tuesday the 4th of August morning and Wednesday the 5th of August morning – but the swell is still pitiful at 1 ft and 2 ft respectively. Even with perfect glass, you can’t make a wave out of nothing. There’s a fleeting moment on the 7th of August (Friday morning) with glassy conditions and a tiny 1.0 ft swell, but it’s just not enough.
The second week doesn’t offer any hope either. From the 8th of August right through to the 14th, it’s the same story: tiny 0.7 ft to 3 ft waves, constantly onshore or cross-onshore winds, and the combined energy drops into the teens and twenties. The swell period is short, between 6 and 9 seconds, so there’s no real push. A clean morning on the 9th of August with 1 ft and dead calm, glassy conditions is a nice thought, but again, it’s not surfable.
The only thing that might be worth a mention is that the onshore wind from the West and strong sides could make this setup more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, if you’re into that. For the rest of us, it’s a blank run. This is a pretty normal situation for the area when the Atlantic just shuts off. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it, but for now, leave the boards in the shed.
Rusty.
