The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Let's chew the fat on the Rade de Croisic forecast for the next couple weeks.
The water's at about 68°, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year, so you might get away with a spring suit.
Truth is, the surf outlook is about as exciting as watching paint dry. We've got a big stretch of nothing from now, the 12th of September, through most of the run. Saturday morning the 12th has a clean little 2ft wave from the west, but the energy is weak and the period is short. You'll be bored in ten minutes.
Sunday morning the 13th is your best shot. We're talking 2ft of west swell, but with a nice long 11-second period. The big winner is the glassy conditions with a light southwesterly breeze. For the Rade de Croisic, that's the gold standard right now. The combined energy is still modest, but the clean, smooth surface will make those small waves feel a whole lot better. It's not a bomb, but it's the best we've got.
After that Sunday morning, it's a write-off. The wind goes onshore and the swell stays tiny. There's a little spike of energy on the 18th of September with a 16-second period, but the onshore wind kills it dead. Looking way out to the 27th of September, the morning shows a glassy surface with a 2ft, 17-second groundswell. It's a long way off, so take it with a grain of salt, but if the glass holds, it could be a fun little session, even if that long period will make the waves fat.
No big waves to worry about here, so beginners are safe. The biggest bump we see is on the 27th afternoon with a 4ft wind swell, but the onshore wind and 7-second period will make it a choppy, blown-out mess for experts only.
Keep your expectations low. If you're really jonesing, hit it on the 13th of September morning. Otherwise, you're waiting in hope for the 27th.
Rusty.
