The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Hossegor - La Graviere.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – the first week and a half is a bit of a struggle. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with nothing really worth paddling out for. From Saturday the 18th right through to Sunday the 26th of July, it’s a write-off. Tiny little knee-high slop, poor winds, and just no energy in the water. You’ll be fighting the onshores for nothing. Save your energy.
Things start to look a little more promising as we head into the final days of July and into August. The big stand-out window is the morning of Monday, the 27th of July. That morning, the wind goes glassy, and we get a clean 4ft of groundswell from the NW with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy is a solid 284 (moderate wave energy). That’s a proper session. The afternoon gets chopped up by the wind, so get it early.
The highlight of the whole forecast, and the one you need to circle on your calendar, is the morning of Wednesday, the 29th of July. A light offshore breeze from the East, clean conditions, and a solid 4ft of NW groundswell with a period of 9 seconds. The energy is up there at 246 (moderate). For a sandbar like La Graviere, that offshore wind is going to groom those lines perfectly. It’s advanced out there, and it’s a spot that can get crowded sometimes, so expect plenty of company if you’re chasing those peaky barrels.
Further into the first week of August, the morning of Friday the 31st of July and Saturday the 1st of August both show glassy conditions with NW swell pushing 5ft and 5ft, with periods of 10 seconds. The energy is real strong for those – 469 and 451 (strong wave energy). That’s a bit more size, pushing into the territory where it’s better for the experienced crew. The sets will be clean and powerful, but the crowds will be out for that one too.
The water temperature on the 18th was 76°F which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you can leave the steamer at home.
So, to sum it up: you’ve got a long wait, but when it turns on around the 27th, it’s worth it. The standout is the morning of Wednesday the 29th of July. Get there early.
