The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about La Graviere. Classic sandbar break, exposed to the west. Water’s about 75°F, which is a solid 4°F warmer than normal for this time of year – feels like a warm bath.
First real session is Saturday morning, the 29th of August. You’ve got a 7ft swell from the WNW, period of 9 seconds, and a light cross-off wind from the SE at 3 mph. Combined energy is 736 (moderate wave energy), and conditions are looking very good. That’s solid size – only for advanced surfers, as 7ft is too big for beginners. The water’s warm, the wind’s clean. This is the pick of the forecast.
Sunday morning, the 30th, drops to 5ft from the same WNW direction, but the wind goes glassy – zero from the south. Combined energy is 381 (moderate wave energy). It’s a smaller, cleaner option. Good backup if Saturday feels too heavy.
Monday morning, the 31st, has a 6ft swell from the WNW with a 3 mph onshore wind from the WNW – that’s a bummer. Combined energy is 519 (moderate wave energy). The afternoon is messy cross-on with 6ft (648 moderate energy). Not great.
Tuesday morning, the 1st of September, is glassy with a 5ft swell from the WNW and a light ENE wind at 3 mph. Combined energy 411 (moderate wave energy). Clean and fun, but smaller.
From Tuesday afternoon onward, it’s a lot of small, weak, or messy surf. Wednesday morning, the 2nd, is glassy but only 3ft (110 combined energy) – surfable but nothing special. Then a long gap of poor waves until Friday the 4th.
Saturday the 5th of September shows a 3ft swell from the WNW with a light offshore from the east, combined energy 239 (moderate wave energy), clean. The afternoon has a 5ft swell from the NW with a 13-second period (long period groundswell), but the wind is a cross-shore from the north at 12 mph, making it choppy. Combined energy 642 (moderate wave energy). That long period will need a point or reef.
Sunday the 6th has a clean 4ft swell from the NW with a 3 mph offshore from the east, combined energy 293 (moderate wave energy). Nice small day.
After that, it’s all small, weak, or onshore. By the 12th and 13th of September, you’re looking at 1.0ft to 1ft – not worth it.
The standout is Saturday morning, the 29th of August. Sunday morning, the 30th, is a close second for clean, smaller waves. Everything else is a maybe. Beginners should stick to the tiny glassy mornings around the 1st or 2nd of September.
