The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, talking about Hossegor - La Graviere. It’s been a slow, flat start around here, but there’s some life stirring further out. The water’s sitting at a very warm 76° right now, which is way toastier than it should be for mid-August.

You’re looking at a slow start. For the first few days, it’s pretty much a write-off. Sunday the 16th through to Wednesday the 19th is grim – tiny 1ft to 3ft slop, messy cross-onshore wind, and the combined swell energy is barely a whisper. The morning of Wednesday the 19th is dead flat and glassy, but there’s nothing to ride.

Thursday the 20th morning sees a flicker of hope. The swell jumps to 2ft with a much nicer 10-second period from the NW, and the energy climbs to a decent 125. The wind goes glassy too. It’s surfable, but honestly, it’s still pretty ordinary.

Now, Friday the 21st of August morning is the first real standout in this whole outlook. The swell picks up to 5ft out of the NW, period hitting 11 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to a proper 457. Best of all, it’s glassy offshore wind from the NNE. That’s clean, punchy sandbar conditions. La Graviere should offer some fun, well-shaped lefts. This is the one to pencil in.

Saturday the 22nd morning is still workable with 3ft and glassy conditions, but the energy has dropped back to 181.

After that, it’s a real mixed bag for the next week. There’s waves around 3ft to 4ft most days, but the wind is all over the shop – cross-shore, onshore, making things choppy. Nothing really clean or consistent until we get to the very end.

The last real highlight is Sunday the 30th of August morning. Swell builds back to 4ft from the NW with 9-second period and 287 energy. The wind is offshore from the ESE, so it’s clean. That’s a solid second option.

And then, looking at the very end, Monday the 31st of August morning gets interesting. Swell is 6ft and glassy, energy at 294. But that afternoon it jumps to 7ft from the WNW, with combined energy hitting 514. That’s a lot of power. The wind is light cross-onshore though, and it’ll be a hefty, raw wave – definitely one for the experienced crew only.

So, if you’ve got to pick one, aim for Friday the 21st morning for the cleanest, punchiest session. If you’re keen for a bigger, more powerful paddle later in the run, keep an eye on the 31st, but that one’s for experts only.

Rusty.
