The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s cookin’ for the Rade de Croisic area over the next couple weeks. I gotta be straight with ya, it’s a pretty flat run overall. The surf will be small and inconsistent, with only a few brief windows where it’s even worth paddling out.
There’s a long dry spell right at the start. The first chance you’ll have to get wet is Saturday the 12th. That morning the wind drops to dead glassy, which is a gift, with a clean 2ft swell from the west. Wave energy is weak (51), but clean waves with no wind? That’s a session. Just make it early, the onshore wind messes it up by afternoon.
The next real shot is Monday the 14th. Monday morning brings another window of glassy conditions. The wind is basically nothing, letting that 2ft west swell line up perfectly. The water temp is a very weird 70°, way warmer than normal for this time of year. It’s a small day, best for a log.
The only other time that offers a little more grunt is Saturday the 19th. We get a solid offshore breeze from the east at 15 mph, blowing right into that 2ft west swell. The period bumps up to 12 seconds, giving it better shape and energy (moderate at 148). Still not big, but it’s clean and has a bit of purpose. That’s your best bet for a clean morning with some proper lines.
After that, it’s mostly tiny and clean but too small to do much with. Honestly, the strong offshore winds in the second week will be better for the kite guys than us paddle surfers. For us, it’s a waiting game.
Stay patient.
Rusty.
