Alright, Rusty here again, giving you the lowdown in feet and Fahrenheit.

Honestly, mate, the next couple of weeks are pretty grim for waves around here. We’re looking at a long, flat spell with barely a bump worth paddling for. The first decent chance doesn’t roll in until mid-month, and even then, it’s nothing to write home about.

Right now and for most of the first week, the swell is tiny—mostly under 2ft—and coming from the west with a short, weak period. The wind is all over the place, mostly cross-off or onshore, and the energy reading is basically zero. The water temperature is sitting at a very unusual 69°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year—pretty weird. But don’t let that fool you; the surf is flat and messy. The only faint glimmer is on Sunday afternoon the 12th, where we get a glassy 0.7ft west swell, but that’s more of a pond than a wave.

That stretch of nothing runs all the way until Tuesday afternoon on the 14th, when we finally see something slightly better. A little pulse of 1ft swell arrives from the WSW, with a long 12-second period, and the wind goes offshore from the ESE. The energy is still weak (60), but the conditions are clean—gentle offshore and glassy. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. The break to aim for here is Rade de Croisic. The optimum swell direction is SW, and this comes from the WSW, so it’s close enough, but it’s small, inconsistent, and with crowds possible.

From there, it’s back to poor conditions until Friday morning the 17th, when a bigger but short-period 4ft swell from the SW shows up, but with a fresh onshore wind. That’s a messy, choppy combo—more for the kite surfers than paddle surfers. Same story on the 18th: Saturday morning brings a glassy 3ft SW swell, which could be the pick of the whole outlook. Clean, no wind, and the swell has a bit of shape. But by afternoon, the onshore wind ruins it again.

The following days are a mix of onshore winds and moderate swell (4ft to 4ft) from the west, with weak to moderate energy (up to 228 on the 20th). The period is short (6-8 seconds), so the waves will be weak and choppy. Not great for traditional surfing.

Overall, if you’re desperate for a paddle, the best bet is the Saturday morning of the 18th at Rade de Croisic—3ft SW, glassy, clean. Just don’t expect anything special. The rest of the outlook is a write-off.

Rusty.
