The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what Rade de Croisic has cookin' for us over the next couple of weeks. It's a bit of a mixed bag, but there are some moments of hope if you're patient.

Right off the bat, the first few days are pretty flat. Friday the 11th is a complete write-off; the surf is just not there with waves around 2ft to 3ft and an onshore wind messing it all up. We've got a stretch of pretty ordinary conditions until the surf starts to show some signs of life.

Saturday the 12th morning is the first real chance to get wet. We've got some tiny 2ft swell from the west, but the wind is a clean offshore breeze from the east. It's small and weak, with the combined swell energy down at 52, but it's clean. Come Sunday the 13th, the morning is glassy calm with no wind and a tiny 2ft west swell (energy 72). It's not going to set the world on fire, but for a quiet paddle, it's about as good as it gets in this quiet spell. Monday the 14th morning also offers a clean, gentle offshore wind with 2ft swell from the west.

Tuesday the 15th afternoon we see a jump in size to 4ft from the west, but the period is a terrible 5 seconds and the wind is howling onshore at 28 mph. That's a messy, blown-out mess – maybe one for the kite surfers, but not for a paddle board.

The standout window starts to show on Saturday the 21st... wait, no. Let me look again. The real gem is coming up on Tuesday the 22nd. Tuesday morning is already looking interesting with a clean cross-offshore wind and a 2ft west-southwest swell with a very long period of 17 seconds (energy 262). That's a proper groundswell signal. Then, Tuesday afternoon is the best spell of the whole forecast. The wind turns light and clean from the north-northeast, and we’ve got a 2ft west swell with a 15-second period, and the combined energy comes in at a solid 202. The forecast says "expect good surf conditions". For a spot like Rade de Croisic that is exposed to the southwest, this long-period west swell should line up nicely, offering clean, well-shaped waves. This is the one to circle on your calendar.

Wednesday the 23rd and Thursday the 24th keep the clean offshore winds going. Thursday the 24th afternoon especially looks promising with a 3ft west swell, a 12-second period, and a gentle offshore breeze. Energy is at 248, and the forecast says "expect good surf conditions". Another very solid option.

The water temperature is sitting about average for this time of year, so nothing shocking there.

Keep your eyes on that Tuesday the 22nd afternoon and Thursday the 24th afternoon – those are your best bets for some quality, clean waves at Rade de Croisic.

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.
