The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Hossegor - La Graviere.
Straight up, we’re looking at a pretty grim run for the next week or so. The first recommendation doesn’t pop up until Tuesday, August 12th, and even then, it’s nothing to write home about. There’s a solid gap of no recommended surf from now until then, so if you’re itching for a paddle, you’ll need to wait.
The standout window, if you can call it that, is on Tuesday morning, August 13th. It’s glassy with a light northwest swell of 2 ft. The period is 9 seconds, so it’s a bit soft, and the combined energy is weak (65). It’s surfable, but very ordinary. The wind is calm, making it clean, but don’t expect any power. La Graviere is a sandbar, so it’ll be a bit fat and slow.
Later in the window, around Friday, August 22nd, we see a pulse of energy. The morning offers a 4 ft northwest swell with a 10-second period. The combined energy jumps to 334 (moderate), but the wind is cross-on from the NW. It’s marginal. That afternoon, the swell drops to 4 ft, but the wind picks up to 12 mph from the NW, making it choppy and messy. Not great.
The only other real mention is Monday morning, August 19th, with a tiny 1.0 ft northwest swell and glassy conditions. The combined energy is only 25 (weak). It’s not worth getting wet for.
Honestly, there’s no true standout here. The best of a bad bunch is Tuesday morning, August 13th, for a clean, slow, small wave session. If you’re a beginner, that 4 ft on August 22nd might be a bit much, and the wind is messy. For the experts, there’s nothing over 8 ft, so it’s low-key all around.
For the second week, from August 19th onwards, it’s more of the same: small, weak, and mostly onshore. Don’t hold your breath.
Rusty.
