The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the Rade de Croisic over the next couple of weeks.

To be straight with you, the start of this period is a bit of a write-off. We’ve got a few days of small, weak swell and onshore or cross-onshore winds making a mess of things. The first couple of days are flat and poor, not worth paddling out for. It’s not until we get to Saturday morning, the 5th of September, that we see a glimmer. The swell is a tiny 2ft from the west with a 9-second period, and the combined energy is weak (67). The wind finally swings around to a light offshore breeze from the east-northeast, cleaning things up. The water temperature is a normal 66° for this time of year. The waves are small and very ordinary, but at least the surface will be clean. You’ll be fighting for scraps on a longboard, but it’s the first real chance to get wet.

The next standout, and honestly the best window we’ve got, arrives on Monday morning, the 7th of September. We’ve got glassy conditions with a light offshore breeze from the northeast. The swell is very small, just 0.7ft, and it’s a long-period groundswell coming in from the west-southwest at 14 seconds. The energy is still weak (50), but with that period and zero wind, you can expect some clean, lined-up little peelers, especially if you can find a bank that focuses it. The water is still a normal 66°. It’s not going to be pumping, but the quality of the conditions makes it our best bet in the first week.

Moving into the second week, the swell picks up a bit, but the winds are a mess. Tuesday morning, the 8th, sees a jump in energy to moderate (332), with chest-high 4ft swell from the west, but a cross-onshore wind ruins it. That’s our biggest swell so far, but it’s a choppy, blown-out mess until we get a brief window of clean conditions on Thursday morning, the 10th of September. That morning, we have a light cross-offshore breeze from the north-northeast with a 2ft west swell (96 energy, 9-second period). It’s still ordinary, but clean.

The best look of the second week might be Monday morning, the 14th of September. The swell is 4ft from the west, but the period is a very short, choppy 6 seconds. The energy is moderate (112), and the wind is a light offshore breeze from the east-southeast. The waves will be clean on the surface, but that short period will make them fat and dumpy. It’s rideable, but not great.

After that, Tuesday evening brings a bigger 4ft west swell, but side-on winds and a 6-second period make it a marginal call. The bigger 3ft, 11-second groundswell on Tuesday afternoon, the 15th, has moderate energy (233), but it’s onshore, so the quality is poor.

Overall, it’s a lean period with a lot of small, wind-affected surf. The best opportunity is that glassy, long-period morning on the 7th of September, followed by the clean but ordinary morning on the 14th. It’s not the time to be booking a trip, but a local with a longboard might find a few clean ones.

Rusty.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Rade de Croisic may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself.
