The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Rade de Croisic.
To be brutally honest, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty grim for a proper paddle. We’ve got tiny, weak swell and the wind is all over the place. There’s a long stretch of nothing worthwhile from now all the way through to the end of July. It’s not until the first weekend of August that we see a bit of a pulse, but it’s still a tough call.
The one small window of hope is on Sunday morning, 2nd August. That’s when we get a bit of a lift. The swell is coming from the west at 5 ft, with a period of 9 seconds, giving us a moderate combined energy of 397. The wind is from the northeast at 9 mph, blowing cross-offshore, which should keep things reasonably clean. Now, this is a beach break, so with that period, it might not be super consistent, but it’s the only time the numbers look like they could line up. The swell is on the bigger side of small, so it’s worth a look if you’re keen.
Before that, and after it, it’s a real struggle. Most days are a mix of onshore breezes, tiny wave heights under 3 ft, and very weak energy. The water temp is about 66°, which is normal for the time of year, so that’s one thing not to complain about.
For the rest of the window, it’s a write-off. The swell is tiny, the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the energy readings are in the single or double digits. It’s a proper flat spell, and honestly, it looks more interesting for a kite than a surfboard on most days.
So, keep the powder dry. The 2nd of August is your only real chance, and even then, keep your expectations in check.
