The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let me tell you straight up, this is not our finest hour. Looking at the forecast for Rade de Croisic, we’ve got a long, drawn-out stretch of flatness and garbage wind. Don’t get your hopes up too early.
The first real sniff of anything surfable doesn’t arrive until Sunday morning, the 9th of August. Before that, it’s a brutal run of tiny, weak, and mostly onshore slop. Days and days of nothing – from now all the way through Saturday the 8th, the best you’ll find is knee-high dribble with poor winds. The swell energy is almost non-existent, with readings like 13 or 29, barely enough to knock a duck off its feet [combined swell energy weak]. Tuesday the 4th sees a slight uptick in energy (281) but the waves are still just 3 ft and it’s cross-on or onshore, keeping things messy. It’s kite-surfing weather at best for the beach.
Then we get a glimmer. Sunday morning, the 9th of August, things finally show some life. The swell bumps up to 6 ft from the WSW with a short, choppy period of just 6 seconds. The combined energy climbs to 247 [moderate wave energy]. The wind is light and clean out of the ESE, so the morning session will be the pick. 6 ft is a bit much for beginners, but for the rest of us, it’s the only real game in town. It’s a short-period swell so it’ll be a bit bumpy, but that clean morning window makes it worth a look. Rade de Croisic is exposed to the SW, so it’s matching the direction of the swell. Just know it’s fairly consistent here, but the crowds can turn up sometimes, so get in early.
That Sunday morning window is your one true standout. The afternoon goes onshore and turns to junk, and the week that follows is back to small, weak, and choppy conditions. The rest of the month looks pretty grim.
