The Lowdown
Alright, here’s the deal for the next 16 days at Rade de Croisic. It’s a real slow burner, with a long, flat spell before a short, punchy window shows up. There’s a big gap of about a week before anything gets going.
The best bet is on Monday, August 3rd. The early morning session is a proper treat. The swell is about 6ft from the WSW, with a short period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (254). The big win here is the wind: it’s glassy, dead calm, which is a massive positive. It’ll be clean and smooth. The water temp is about 66°, which is normal for this time of year. This is the one to circle. The short period means the waves won’t have much power, so it’s all about the clean, rideable lines. The afternoon turns onshore and messy, so get in early.
The following week has some size, but the wind ruins it. On Friday, August 7th, the morning swell is a solid 6ft from the WSW, with the strongest energy of the whole period (560), but it’s a cross-onshore, so it’s choppy. That’s getting too big for beginners, and the wind isn’t helping. Saturday, August 8th, keeps the size at 6ft to 5ft from the W, with a long period of 10-11 seconds, giving it some real juice (625 energy). But the wind is a howling 22 mph onshore, making it a full-on blustery mess. This is more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle session. That’s expert-only territory, and a tough one at that.
So, the standout is the glassy Monday morning, August 3rd. Get after it. The rest is a waiting game with a lot of onshore wind.
