The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days at Hossegor - La Graviere are looking pretty grim for a paddle. This is one of those stretches where you might want to keep the board in the bag.
For the first week, from Tuesday the 21st right through to the end of July, it’s a write-off. We’re looking at tiny, weak swell with combined energy barely hitting three digits (84), and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, chopping up whatever little bump there is. The water is sitting at a warm 76°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s small comfort when the waves are junk.
We do get a bit of a spike on Saturday the 25th with a 7ft to 7ft swell from the west, but it’s a full-on onshore wind blowing 18-21 mph. That's not surf, that's a washing machine. That kind of energy (491) with that wind is more interesting for the kite surfers than for anyone paddling.
There’s a tiny glimmer on Tuesday the 28th morning. The wind goes offshore from the ENE at 3 mph, the swell is a clean 4ft from the NW with a 9-second period, and the combined energy is moderate (203). The guidance says this spot works best with a west swell, so the direction isn’t perfect, but the glassy conditions might make it worth a look for a sneaky session. That’s your only real chance for a clean wave in the whole window.
After that, it fades back into tiny, wind-affected dribble for the rest of the first week of August. Swells drop to 2ft or 3ft, and the wind is mostly onshore. There’s nothing to get excited about. The crowds at La Graviere are likely to be thin because there’s simply nothing to ride.
To be honest, this is a pretty blank run for the region. It’s normal for the coast to go flat and windy in the summer, and the forecasts can change, but right now, if you’re not a kiter, you’re better off doing something else. Keep an eye on the charts, but for the next two weeks, it’s a no-go.
Rusty.
