Right, let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Rade de Croisic over the next couple of weeks. Straight off the bat, it’s a slow start. The first proper chance to paddle out that I can see won’t come until Thursday, the 23rd of July, and even then it’s barely worth getting wet for. You’re looking at a long stretch of puny, weak waves with messy wind through the weekend and into the working week. Saturday morning the 11th has a tiny 1 ft swell from the west, but with a short period and not enough push. The odd clean moment early on Monday morning the 13th is just too small to get excited about.
The real standout of the whole forecast is Saturday morning, the 25th of July. Now that’s a window. We’ve got a nice 4 ft swell rolling in from the west, with a very long period of 12 seconds – proper groundswell. The combined energy is reading strong at 513 (strong), and with a glassy easterly offshore wind, it’s going to be absolutely clean. For a spot like Rade de Croisic (France), if you’re sitting on a point or reef, that long-period energy will draw some lovely lines. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. Just keep in mind that Saturday afternoon the wind swings onshore and chops it up, so make it a dawny. Crowds are likely around here sometimes, so get in early.
The week leading up to it clears up a bit. Wednesday the 22nd has a moderate 4 ft to 5 ft swell building, but it’s cross-shore or cross-offshore, and the period is short at 5 to 6 seconds, so it’ll be a bit crumbly. Still, the energy is climbing (80 to 125 – moderate energy), so you could sneak a session if you’re desperate.
Nothing else in the 16 days grabs me. The Sunday the 19th and Monday the 20th offer some clean cross-offshore wind, but the swell is weak and short period. The Saturday the 25th is your only true standout. After that, Sunday the 26th looks like it gets messy with onshore wind and fading energy.
So, to sum it up for you: the forecast is thin for a long while. Don’t hold your breath until that Thursday the 23rd at the earliest for something rideable, and really, just pencil in the Saturday the 25th morning. That’s the one.
