The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, checkin’ in on the Rade de Croisic stretch for the next couple of weeks. Gotta keep it real: this forecast is a tough one. The pattern we’re lookin’ at is a whole lot of onshore wind and messy conditions that are just wrecking any chance of decent surf. The water temp’s sitting around 69°, which feels a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s small comfort when the waves are junk.
The window kicks off on Monday the 7th of September with some small, weak energy from a WSW swell at about 3 ft, but a cross-onshore wind is spoiling it. The wave energy is weak (301). We’ve got a long run of poor conditions through to the weekend. Tuesday the 8th brings a bit more height, up to 5 ft, but a strong cross-onshore wind makes it a total mess, with moderate energy (550). That pattern holds – a bit of swell showing, but the wind just kills it. Wednesday and Thursday are the same story: small, weak swell and choppy sea states.
There’s a brief break in the gloom on Saturday the 12th of September. Early morning, we get clean, glassy conditions with a tiny 2 ft swell, but the energy is very low (52). It’s surfable, but you’ll be workin’ for it. Sunday the 13th also has a glassy morning, with a long-period 15-second groundswell at 1 ft. That long period gives it some shape, but the energy is still only moderate (149). For a reef or point break, that long period would be a dream, but at a beach break, it might just be mushy lines.
The second week doesn’t offer much hope. We see another stretch of small surf and poor conditions. The best lookin’ day is Tuesday the 15th with clean conditions and a 2 ft west swell, but again, the energy is weak (72). There’s a notable swell showin’ up on Thursday the 17th of September, with a 6 ft to 7 ft west swell, but the wind is howling onshore, makin’ it a total no-go. The energy is strong (850), but it’s a washing machine out there. That’s more of a kite-surfing day than for paddle surfing.
Honestly, if you’re set on gettin’ wet, your best bet is to go for those glassy Saturday (12th) and Sunday (13th) mornings. The waves will be tiny, but at least it’ll be clean. It’s a sparse outlook, but that’s the hand we’re dealt for Rade de Croisic right now.
Rusty.
