The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for the next couple of weeks.
To be honest, the outlook is a bit of a flat spell for the Rade de Croisic. We’re looking at a long stretch of small, choppy, and generally poor surf conditions. The water temperature is sitting at 66.4°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so that's no surprise.
The real story is that there's nothing worth getting excited about for the first two weeks. From now through to the 9th of August, it's a run of days with tiny waves, onshore winds, and very weak energy. The combined swell energy is mostly in the low teens to 80s, which is weak. The biggest we see is on the morning of the 5th of August, with a 4.3ft swell from the west, but it's a short-period 6 second wind swell, and the wind is onshore from the west at 6 mph. The energy is moderate (213), but it's still classed as poor surf. The setup is a beach, and with the strong onshore wind, it looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The only glimmer of hope comes right at the very end of the forecast. On the morning of Monday, the 10th of August, we finally get a bit of a break. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the SSE at 9 mph, which is clean. The swell is 2ft from the west, with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy is still weak (68), but for the first time, the conditions are described as "surfable." It's not a standout, but it's the only option. The break is fairly consistent, but don't expect much. It's a small, clean wave for a longboard.
So, if you're desperate, the 10th of August morning is your best bet. Otherwise, the forecasts can change, but right now, it's a blank run.
