Alright, let’s get into it. This is Rusty, and I’m looking at the next 16 days for Rade de Croisic, and honestly, it’s a tough one. We’re in a real flat spell here, so don’t expect much action for a while.

The water is sitting at 71°, which is about 6° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s very unusual, almost like bathwater, but it does nothing for the waves.

Right now, and for the next couple of weeks, it’s pretty much a write-off. You’re looking at tiny, weak waves day after day. The combined swell energy is stuck in the low double digits, like 14 on Sunday morning, 8 on Sunday afternoon – that’s basically nothing. The wind is all over the place, but it’s mostly onshore or cross-onshore, so even the tiny bumps are chopped up and messy. There’s a stretch from the start all the way through to the 26th of July where the surf is just… not worth paddling out for. It’s a long, blank run.

The only glimmer of something happens on the morning of the 27th of July. The swell is still small at 2 ft from the west, with a period of 9 seconds, and the combined energy is 74 (weak). But the wind is offshore from the northeast, a light 9 mph breeze, and it’s clean. The report says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions” – it’s not a classic, but it’s the only window where you could get a few grovelly ones if you’re desperate. The break is fairly consistent, so if you’re there, you might snag a couple. Be aware, crowds can be around sometimes.

The afternoon of the 27th gets choppy again with a cross-onshore wind, so that morning window is the one and only shot in this whole outlook. Keep your expectations low, and check back – forecasts change, and it can’t stay this poor forever.

Rusty.
