The Lowdown
Right then, Rusty again, giving you the lowdown in feet and Fahrenheit.
Looking at the 16-day stretch for Rade de Croisic, we’re in for a bit of a dry spell. Don’t get your hopes up too high.
The only real chance for a session is on Tuesday the 8th. The morning offers a 3ft west swell with moderate energy (231). The wind’s a light cross-offshore from the northeast, leaving the surface clean. It’s small, but it’s the pick of the lot. Later that day, the wind goes glassy with a 3ft west swell, but the energy backs off a bit (125). The water’s sitting at 68°, which is slightly warmer than usual for the season. That Tuesday morning window is your best bet, no question.
After that, it’s a long, sorry tale. From Tuesday afternoon right through to Sunday the 20th, it’s largely poor. Onshore winds, chop, and tiny waves dominate. There’s a pulse of bigger energy on the 11th with a 5ft west swell (613), but a strong onshore wind at 25 mph from the west turns it into a total mess. That’s kite-surfing territory, not for a surfboard.
The final few days, from the 18th onward, stay tiny – around 0.7ft to 1ft from the west. The wind turns clean and cross-offshore, but with hardly any height, you’ll be lucky to catch a ripple. A real patience-testing period.
Rusty.
