The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with you – this 16-day window for the *Rade de Croisic* area is looking pretty grim for any kind of decent paddle session. The swell is almost non-existent, the energy is flat, and the conditions are just not cooperating.

The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 69°F, but that’s about the only thing that’s slightly out of the ordinary. The good news? It’s not going to stay this poor forever, and forecasts can change. But for now, it’s a tough stretch.

We kick off Saturday the 8th of August with a pathetic 0.3ft swell from the west. The energy is barely a whisper, and while the morning has a clean offshore breeze, it’s just not enough to do anything with. Sunday the 9th is a tease: glassy conditions in the morning on a 0.7ft swell, but still completely flat. The swell period is a short 6 seconds in the afternoon, and the wind is onshore, so it’s all messy.

The rest of the first week is a lot of the same. Monday through to the following Sunday, we’re looking at swell heights that barely scrape 3ft, with short periods and consistent onshore winds from the west or northwest. The energy is weak. The only slight glimmer is Wednesday morning the 12th, with a 1ft swell and a longer 11-second period, combined with a cross-offshore wind, but the energy is still low. It’s not enough to get excited about.

The second week isn’t much better. The biggest swell we see comes on Tuesday the 18th, with a 3ft swell from the west-northwest. The energy finally kicks up to a moderate level for the morning, but the wind is onshore at 12 mph, making it a choppy mess. It’s the only real burst of energy in the whole 16 days, but the quality is poor. It’s the kind of setup that might look more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

The last few days, from the 20th to the 23rd, we’re back to tiny 1ft to 2ft swells, with some clean cross-offshore winds, but the swell is just too small to ride.

So, what’s the standout? It’s a tough call. The best on offer is probably Tuesday the 18th, with that 3ft west-northwest swell and a moderate energy. But with the wind blowing straight onshore, it’s going to be a messy, bumpy affair. The *Rade de Croisic* is an exposed spot, and it’s occasionally crowded, but with this forecast, you’ll have it to yourself. Still, unless you’re desperate, I’d give it a miss.

Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Rade de Croisic can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

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.
