The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Hossegor - La Graviere.
To be straight with you, the next couple of weeks are a real mixed bag of small, messy conditions. Nothing to get too excited about for a while. The waves are tiny, the wind is often cross or onshore, and the energy is weak. We’re looking at a long stretch of underwhelming surf from Tuesday the 11th all the way through to the end of the week starting the 18th. The combined swell energy is mostly in the 60s to low 100s, which is just not enough to get the heart pumping.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Friday the 21st of August. The morning is looking glassy with a calm wind and a clean 3ft swell from the WNW. The combined energy is a modest 176, but those glassy conditions will make it feel better than it looks. It’s surfable, but ordinary.
Now, if you can hold out, the real standout is shaping up for Tuesday the 25th of August. That morning is where it’s at. The wind is glassy from the SSE at just 3 mph, and the swell is a solid 5ft from the NW with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 425 – that’s a proper number. With the wind like that, La Graviere will be clean and lined up. This is the best on offer in the whole window. Wednesday the 26th morning also looks promising with glassy conditions and a 4ft NW swell, but the Tuesday is the one to circle.
The water temperature is sitting at 74°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. Nice for a long session.
Remember, La Graviere is an advanced sandbar that is fairly consistent, and it’s exposed to the west. With the swell direction coming from the NW on those good days, it’s right in the wheelhouse. The crowds can be an issue sometimes, so get out early for the best of it.
So, to sum it up: a lot of small and windy days ahead, but a couple of glassy mornings, especially Tuesday the 25th, are worth the wait. Stay patient.
Rusty.
