Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for Rade de Croisic over the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you – it’s a grim stretch. The models are showing a whole lot of nothing for a long time.
We’re looking at a massive gap of dead-flat conditions. From now until at least the 24th of July, there’s simply nothing worth paddling out for. The swell is tiny, the period is short, and the wind is messy. We’re talking ankle-snappers at best, with combined wave energy barely breaking double digits (2 to 60 in the energy readings). The wind is either onshore, cross-shore, or just too strong, leaving the surface chopped up. You’d be better off checking the kite forecast for most of this, because the consistent onshore breeze and weak swell aren't doing us any favours for paddle surfing.
The first real flicker of life doesn’t show up until the morning of Saturday the 25th of July. We finally get a bit of glassy conditions with the wind going light and offshore from the W. The swell will be a clean 2ft out of the west, with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy finally hits a moderate 102, which is something. But even then, the overall conditions are described as very ordinary. The afternoon will see the wind swing onshore again, killing it.
So, if you’re desperate for a paddle, that Saturday morning (25th July) is the only window that even looks like it might work. The water temp is sitting at 71°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – a solid 6° above average. That’s pleasantly weird, but it won’t make up for the lack of waves.
Honestly, it’s a tough run. The breaks are inconsistent, and it’s a blank run that’s pretty normal for the area when the charts are this quiet. Forecasts can change, but right now, don’t hold your breath.
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.

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.
