The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into what’s happening with the waves in our neck of the woods.

Well, I’ll be honest with you – it’s a tough stretch ahead. We’re looking at a long, quiet run with almost nothing to get excited about for the next week and a half. The first real chance to even consider a paddle out doesn’t show up until Sunday, the 2nd of August, and even then, it’s pretty marginal. Before that, from now right through to the 1st of August, we’ve got a big gap of days with nothing but poor surf conditions. The wind and swell just aren’t lining up for us.

The only spot we’ve got to look at is Rade de Croisic. It’s not a place that fires often, but it’s our only option. This break is exposed to the swell, and it needs a good SW direction to work. Looking at the whole forecast, nothing stands out as a proper, decent session. The best of a very poor bunch is early on Sunday, the 2nd of August. The morning brings a light cross-offshore breeze from the SE at 6 mph, which will keep things clean. You’ll be looking at a small 2 ft swell from the west with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy is weak, only about (90). It’s surfable, but just barely – very ordinary conditions. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing wild.

After that, Monday the 3rd of August morning has a cleaner look with an offshore wind from the ENE at 12 mph, but again, it’s only 2 ft from the west at 9 seconds, with combined energy of (78). It’s still on the small, weak side. Honestly, for the whole 16-day window, there’s no standout. No wave is over 4 ft, and the winds are mostly onshore or cross-on, ruining any chance of quality. The period never gets long enough to bring in real groundswell power, and the energy readings are all low. If you’re desperate for water time, the 2nd and 3rd of August mornings are your only real windows, but keep your expectations on the floor.

Stay patient, lads. It’s a quiet spell.
