The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee and listen up – here’s how the next couple of weeks are shaping up for our stretch of coast.
Right off the bat, it’s a tough start. For the first week, from this Tuesday right through to the end of next Monday, the 28th of July, it is pretty bleak. The swell is tiny, the period is short, and there’s just no power in the water. We’re looking at a lot of flat, messy days with weak, choppy waves that aren’t worth paddling out for. You’ll be bobbing around on a lot of nothing. The wind is all over the shop, too.
Then, it finally starts to look like something real. The first real chance of a decent wave comes on Tuesday morning, the 28th of July, at the main spot, La Graviere. The swell is still on the small side at 5 ft, coming from the NW, but the period jumps to 10 seconds, which is a proper groundswell with some meaningful energy behind it. The combined energy is moderate at 361. The real kicker here is the wind: dead calm, glassy conditions. That’s the kind of morning that makes all the flat spells worth it. The water is also running much warmer than normal for this time of year, about 4° warmer, so it’s a bit of a treat.
The following morning, Wednesday the 29th of July, is also a standout. It’s a bit smaller at 4 ft, but the swell is still from the NW with the same 10-second period and a solid 315 energy. The wind is a light offshore from the east, which will keep the faces clean and lined up. This is the best two-day window we’ve got. After that, the swell backs off and the onshores creep back in for the rest of the run into the first week of August, with the energy dropping right off.
Bottom line: the first week is a write-off, but that Tuesday-Wednesday window at the end of July is your shot. Get in the water then.
