The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m lookin’ at the surf outlook for Rade de Croisic. Gotta be straight with you – it’s a rough stretch ahead. The forecast is a long, quiet grind with hardly a moment worth paddling out for.
The first recommendation doesn’t show up until Saturday, September 5th, so we’re looking at a solid gap of nearly a week with nothing but poor conditions. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing weird going on there.
Now, for Saturday morning, September 5th, we finally get a flicker of hope. The swell is a small 3 ft from the west, with a period of 11 seconds – that’s a bit of groundswell energy, but it’s weak, with combined energy sitting at just 163. The real story here is the wind: a gentle offshore from the ENE at 9 mph. That’ll clean things up nicely, and the report says “gentle offshore and clean.” That’s about as good as it gets this whole outlook. It’s surfable, but it’s small, and it’s been so long since we had a decent wave that you’ll take what you can get. Keep your expectations low, but the wind will make it look pretty.
The rest of the forecast is a bust. The wind is mostly onshore, cross-on, or just messy, and the swell is either tiny or blown out. Even when we get a bit of size – like 5 ft on Sunday, August 30th – it’s accompanied by a fresh cross-onshore wind at 19-22 mph, making it lumpy and poor. The 5 ft to 6 ft swell on Monday, August 31st, has moderate wave energy, but again, it’s onshore. You’d be fighting a losing battle.
For the second week, the pattern doesn’t change. Small, weak swells, onshore winds, and the odd day with a bit of offshore flow but barely any wave. The highlight remains that Saturday morning, September 5th. It’s not a standout in size, but it’s the only time the stars align for a clean session.
So, if you’re desperate, aim for that Saturday morning. Otherwise, it’s a waiting game. The forecast can always shift, but right now, it’s a tough one.
Rusty.
