The Lowdown

Alright, let's get into it.

The next couple of weeks are looking pretty tough, I won't lie to you. There’s a serious lack of energy in the water for the most part, and we’ve got a lot of onshore wind messing things up at Rade de Croisic. The first real chance of anything rideable doesn’t show up until September 5th, and even then, it’s not going to be big, but it should be clean.

Let’s break it down. We’re starting now, at the end of August and into the first few days of September. The swell is small and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, so the water is going to be chopped up and junky. We’re looking at walls of whitewater more than anything you’d want to paddle out into. The combined energy is weak, mostly under 100, like 81 or 49, which tells you there’s nothing behind these waves. It’s flat and messy.

Then we get a little glimmer on the morning of September 5th. The wind swings offshore from the ENE, and the swell comes up a touch to 2ft, but it’s clean. The period jumps to 13 seconds, so there’s some decent push behind it. The energy reading is a moderate 234. It’s not going to be the day of your life, but it will be the most surfable it’s been in a while. The crowd factor could come into play here, with people just wanting to get wet, but it’s a fair trade for a clean wave. Water temp is sitting around 66°F, which is just about normal for this time of year.

After that, it’s back to the grind. The 6th and 7th are poor, with the swell dropping back down and winds shifting around, bringing more chop. The middle part of that first week is pretty much a write-off. There’s a pulse of energy on the 8th with a 3ft swell and a 10-11 second period, but the wind is onshore and it’s going to be lumpy.

September 10th is a bit of a weird one. The swell picks up to 7ft, and the energy jumps to a strong 1016. But the wind is a moderate cross-shore, so it’s going to be a cross-chop mess. This is more of a kite-surfing day than a paddle-surfing day, to be honest. The waves might be there, but they’ll be hard to ride and the conditions will be challenging.

From the 11th through the 14th, we’re mostly looking at small, poor conditions again. A lot of onshore wind, not enough size, and the period stays short, in that 5-9 second range, which just doesn’t have any punch. It’s a long, flat stretch, and you’ll be watching the horizon a lot.

Finally, on the morning of September 15th, we get another chance. It’s a bit of a tease because the swell is only 3ft, but the wind is glassy, from the NE, and the period stretches out to 11 seconds. That long period means the waves will have some shape and hold up better. The energy is a solid 257. This is another window where it’s going to be worth a look. It’s not a big swell, but clean, head-high waves on a point break with that long period are going to be fun.

The long-range stuff into the second week is always less certain. The 15th shows promise, but we’ll see how it holds up. There’s very little else on the horizon after that. It’s a quiet spell, so if you’re keen, you need to be ready to move when the windows open on the 5th and the 15th. The water is warm enough for a shorty, and the conditions are going to be clean, which is a big positive.

Rusty.
