The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here again, but this time in feet and miles. Let’s take a look at what’s happening in the Rade de Croisic area for the next sixteen days.

I’ll be straight with ya—this is a real dry spell. We’ve got nothing worth paddling out for in the entire first week. The surf starts off tiny, with swell heights around 0.7ft to 1.0ft and combined wave energy barely registering (16 to 40). There’s a bit of offshore wind here and there, but the swell’s so small you’d be floating around doing nothing. By Thursday the 27th, the swell jumps to about 5ft, but the wind turns onshore and choppy, and the energy hits 338—still marked as poor.

Friday the 28th is the real kicker. We see a 10ft swell from the WSW with a period of 11 seconds and a massive combined energy of 2428. That’s a lot of power. But the wind? 28 mph cross-onshore, then over 31 mph onshore. That's a washing machine out there. It’s blown to bits, and honestly better for kite surfing than paddling. That messy onshore wind stays through the weekend with dropping but still head-high waves.

After that, it’s back to flatness. Swell drops to 0.7ft to 2ft for days, and even by the 5th and 6th of September, when we get some chest-high rollers (4ft to 6ft), the wind is cross-onshore or onshore, keeping it messy.

One potential standout shows up on Monday the 7th of September: a 6ft swell from the WSW with an incredible 19-second period and combined energy of 2468. That’s long-period groundswell, the kind that would wrap beautifully into the points and reefs around Rade de Croisic if conditions were right. But the wind is howling onshore at 19 to 25 mph, so it’s a blown-out mess.

Bottom line: there’s no good surf in this 16-day window. The bigger days have all the energy but the wind just kills it. It’s a kite surfer’s window, not a surfer’s. Real shame.

Rusty.

Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Rade de Croisic may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself.
