Alright folks, Rusty here. Let me level with you: the next couple of weeks at Rade de Croisic are looking flat. Real flat. I’m talking no surf worth paddling out for – every single session from Monday the 6th of July right through to Tuesday the 21st of July comes up with a score of zero. That’s a solid 16-day gap with nothing to chase.
Now, this break is usually fairly consistent, and it’s exposed to the west-southwest, which is what we want. But the swell just isn’t showing up. Heights are mostly 1ft to 2ft, peaking at a measly 3ft on Saturday the 18th of July afternoon, but even then it’s short-period (5 seconds) and onshore wind (W at 16 mph) – that’s a recipe for messy, weak lines. Combined wave energy nudges into moderate territory only on Tuesday the 21st morning (105), but again, poor conditions. The best we get is the occasional light offshore breeze (E or ENE) with tiny 1ft swell, but that’s still hopeless for a proper wave.
Don’t write the spot off though – it tends not to stay this poor for long, and forecasts can flip. Keep an eye on the charts. For now, save the petrol and wax. I’ll be back when there’s something to get excited about.
Rusty.

Information about the Rade de Croisic Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Rade de Croisic provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Rade de Croisic can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Rade de Croisic surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Rade de Croisic) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Rade de Croisic may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
