The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Look, I've gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and uninspiring for the Rade de Croisic area. We're looking at a long stretch of small, weak swell and mostly onshore winds that aren't going to do us any favours. There's a bit of a gap early on, and honestly, the best we can hope for is a few small windows of clean, glassy conditions on tiny waves.
The only real highlight, and I mean the only one worth talking about, is the Sunday morning of the 13th of September. We've got a tiny 2ft swell rolling in from the W, with a period of 11 seconds, which is a nice long-period groundswell. The wind is forecast to be glassy, dead calm, so the ocean will be like a mirror. The combined wave energy is weak (56), so it's not going to be powerful, but for a small, clean session on a longboard, you could get a few fun ones. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
For the rest of the run, it's a bit of a mixed bag. The Saturday morning of the 5th of September offers a 2ft swell from the W with a 10-second period and a gentle offshore breeze from the ENE, which will keep it clean. The energy is weak (114). It's surfable, but very ordinary. Then Sunday the 6th has a similar setup with a 2ft swell and a moderate offshore from the ESE, but again, it's small stuff. The Saturday morning of the 19th of September has a tiny 0.7ft swell with a moderate offshore from the ESE, but it's just too small to get excited about. The winds are mostly onshore or cross-onshore for the rest of the period, keeping the surf chopped up and messy. There's a fair bit of cross-shore and onshore wind, so the conditions are going to be poor for most of the time. The swell energy is consistently weak, mostly in the double digits, with a few moderate spikes like Monday the 7th afternoon (727) but those are all with poor conditions.
So, aim for that Sunday the 13th of September morning if you're desperate for a paddle. It's the only time the stars align even a little bit. Otherwise, it's a waiting game.
Rusty.
