The Lowdown
### Imperial
Alright folks, Rusty here checking in from the Rade de Croisic. I’ve scanned the charts and I gotta level with you – this is a brutal outlook.
For the next 16 days, it’s flat. Dead flat. The water temp is about 68°F, which is a touch warmer than usual for the season, but that’s the only positive. The combined swell energy kicks off at a pathetic 25 and never gets out of the weak range. Every single reading from Monday the 3rd up to Tuesday the 18th of August is flagged as "poor surf conditions."
You’re looking at waves that barely reach 1 foot, mostly under that. The wind is junk – mostly onshore or cross-onshore, chopping up what little ripple there is. There’s a brief moment on Monday the 11th where we get a clean offshore breeze from the ESE, but the swell is from the NW at just 2 feet with a short 5-second period and the energy is only 39. It's nothing.
There are no standouts. No day worth paddling out. This is one of those blank runs where the area just goes to sleep. It’s more normal for this place when the forecasts look this sad.
Nothing doing.
Rusty.
