The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the Rade de Croisic.
Honestly, mate, it’s a pretty flat and frustrating outlook for the next sixteen days. We’ve got a long, barren stretch of nothing much to get excited about. There’s a couple of brief moments where the ocean offers a tiny window, but for the most part, it’s a waiting game.
The whole forecast is a struggle. The first week is almost a write-off, with most days showing poor surf conditions and tiny swell. For the first few days, we’re looking at weak, onshore winds and small, short-period waves. It’s not until the morning of Saturday the 5th that we see a slight glimmer, with a northeast cross-off breeze cleaning up the surface. But even then, the swell is only 2ft from the west, with a moderate combined energy of 105. It’s what we’d call a “maybe” session – you could be out there, but you won’t be having a ball.
Things try to pick up a little on Monday the 7th, but the morning is ruined by a cross-onshore wind that chops it up, despite a pulse of longer-period 15-second groundswell from the WSW pushing the combined energy to 183. The afternoon gets a bit more size, hitting 3ft from the west, but the onshore wind is too strong.
The best bet in the whole window looks like the morning of Thursday the 10th of September. The swell is still small, around 3ft from the west, but the wind is glassy – dead calm – from the NNW (6 mph). That’s a major positive, as it will give us clean, smooth conditions. The combined energy is a moderate 108. It’s not a pumping day, but you might catch a few fun ones on a longboard when the sets come through. After that, it’s back to the wind and chop.
Later in the run, Wednesday the 16th of September afternoon shows a brief moment of hope. Another glassy period, with a 1ft swell from the WSW, but with a very long period of 13 seconds, giving a combined energy of 61. That long period might mean better-shaped waves, but at this size, they’ll be few and far between. It’s another small window that’s worth a look only if you’re desperate.
If big swell rolls in during the second week, the onshore winds like that 3ft choppy mess on Saturday the 12th might make this more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle session. The crowds at Rade de Croisic can show up sometimes, but with conditions this poor, it should be quiet.
Stay patient. It’s been a flat run.
Rusty.
