The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I’ve got the long-range picture for the Rade de Croisic. Gotta be straight with you – it’s been a tough stretch and it’s gonna stay that way for a while.
We’re looking at a real flat spell right out of the gate. From now, through the end of July and the first week of August, there just isn’t anything on offer. The swell is tiny, the wind is on it or messy, and every report is calling it poor. You’ll want to leave the boards in the shed for a solid eight or nine days. The water temp is sitting at about 66.2°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so that’s one thing that’s not giving us grief.
That blank run finally breaks on Friday morning, August 7th. That’s the one standout in this whole outlook. Rade de Croisic gets a pulse of life with a solid 6.2 ft swell out of the WSW. The wave energy is strong, clocking in at 851, so there’s some proper grunt behind it. The period is a short 8 seconds, so it’ll be a bit walled up and sectiony, but the wind is light and variable from the NE at just 6 mph, making it clean. That surf is going to be good stuff. However, it’s a bit much for beginners over 5 ft, and it’s pushing up to 6.2 ft. The morning is where the magic is. By Friday afternoon, the wind swings onshore from the W and the quality drops right off.
The next morning, Saturday August 8th, offers a second, smaller chance. You’ve got a 3.3 ft swell from the WSW with a gentle offshore breeze out of the E at 9 mph. The energy is moderate at 277, and it’ll be cleaner, cleaner surf. Not a standout like Friday, but a nice little Saturday morning session before the wind turns on again in the afternoon.
After that, it’s back to the small, wind-affected stuff. A few mornings with clean, cross-off winds through the second week of August, but the swell is just too small – 1.6 ft to 2 ft – to get excited about. The energy readings are weak, in the 30s and 40s. Basically, if you can’t make the 7th or the morning of the 8th, you’re waiting for the next real swell.
Stay tuned, forecasts can always change, but for now, that Friday the 7th is your only real shot.
