The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the Rade de Croisic area. I’ve got to be straight with you – this one’s a tough read. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and messy. There's a real lack of any decent swell energy pushing in, and the wind is mostly working against us. The water is sitting at 68°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only bright spot.
We’re starting off with a real dud. Friday the 31st of July is a write-off. Tiny, weak swell from the NW at 2ft with a shocking period of only 4 seconds, and a cross-on wind that’s just chopping it all up. The combined energy is a weak 20 – you’d be better off with a paddleboard. The whole weekend and the start of next week don’t offer any relief. Swell heights are stuck between 1.0ft and 2ft, mostly short period, and the wind is consistently onshore or cross-onshore. It’s a long, grey stretch of nothing.
There is a small glimmer, but you have to wait for it. On Sunday the 9th of August, we finally see a shift. The morning brings a clean 2ft swell from the WSW, with a proper period of 9 seconds. The wind is offshore from the East at 12 mph, and the combined energy bumps up to 77. It’s still not big, just surfable, and the conditions are described as “very ordinary,” but it’s the best on offer in this whole outlook. The Rade de Croisic is fairly consistent, but that doesn’t mean the waves are good. This is a case where the forecast might change, but right now, that Sunday morning is your only real shot.
After that, it’s back to the same story. The following week is a mix of tiny, weak swell and onshore winds. We’ve got a few clean mornings on the 11th and 13th of August, but the swell is barely a ripple (1.0ft to 2ft), so it’s not worth getting excited about. The energy is low, and the wind is either cross-off or light, but there’s just no power in the water. The period on the 11th is 10 seconds, which is promising for shape, but the swell height is miserable.
Bottom line: the 16-day window is a desert. The only spot that’s even worth a mention is the Rade de Croisic itself, and even then, it’s just for that one Sunday morning. It’s a pretty grim run for this area. Keep your fingers crossed for a better forecast.
Rusty.
