G'day, Rusty here. Look, I'm gonna level with you right off the bat – this forecast for Rade de Croisic is a rough one. We've got sixteen days on the books, and honestly, there's not a single recommendation worth paddling out for. The whole period is a flat, blown-out mess.

We kick off on Saturday, July 11th. First thing in the morning, you've got a tiny 1 ft swell from the west, and while the wind is a clean offshore from the east at 9 mph, it's just not enough juice. The combined swell energy is a measly 21, which is just pitiful. By the afternoon, the wind swings south-southwest, goes cross-shore, and the surf stays tiny. That's the story for the whole first week – we're stuck with waves under 3 ft, almost always getting hammered by onshore winds. The water temp is sitting at 71 °F, which is a whopping 6 °F warmer than normal for this time of year, so it's oddly tropical, but that's about the only interesting thing happening.

There's a long gap here with absolutely nothing worth getting wet for. Through Sunday, Monday, Tuesday... it's a dead loss. We see a tiny blip on the 16th of July – Thursday afternoon – where the west swell bumps up to 2 ft and the energy hits 62, but it's still onshore from the west-southwest at 16 mph. The water's just a mess. The same pattern drags on through the second week. On Wednesday, July 22nd, the west swell hits 2 ft in the morning with a 10-second period, and the energy gets up to 95, which is the highest we see, but it's straight onshore at 19 mph. That's not surf, that's a washing machine. The rest of the outlook is just more of the same – tiny, onshore, poor conditions all the way through to Sunday, July 26th.

If you're looking for a silver lining, the setup here is more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer, given the persistent strong, onshore winds and knee-high slop. For us wave hunters, it's a blank run, but that's not unusual for this area in a flat spell. Keep an eye on the charts – it never stays this poor forever.

Rusty.
