The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, switchin' to feet and fahrenheit for you.
Honestly, this is a quiet stretch. For the first week and a half, from Monday July 27th through to Saturday August 8th, the surf is flat or next to it. Most days are showing 1ft to 2ft of weak dribble. Wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, just killing any chance of a ride. A couple of mornings have offshore wind, like Tuesday July 28th (ESE 9 mph) and Monday August 3rd (E 12 mph), but the swell is so tiny, you’re just getting a wet board. Water temp is 66°, which is about average for the season.
Things perk up just a hair in the second week. On Sunday August 9th morning, the swell hits about 5ft from the WSW, but the period is a short, choppy 5 seconds, and it’s cross-onshore. Combined energy is moderate (169). It’s rough. Monday August 10th morning shows the highest energy of the whole run at 213, with a 3ft W swell at 8 seconds, still cross-onshore. But all the reports still say "poor."
If I had to pick one, I’d go with the morning of Monday August 10th at Rade de Croisic. Swell is 3ft from the West, period 8 seconds, energy at 213 – the best we’ve got. Wind is a light cross-onshore, so it’s not clean, but it’s the least ugly wave in the forecast. The break is fairly consistent and exposed to the SW, which is close to the swell direction. Crowds are possible here, but I doubt anyone’s paddling out for this.
After that, things drop off again on the 11th with stronger onshore winds.
So there’s a long dry spell until the 9th of August. A few mornings with offshore wind but no swell – a real tease. The only faint hope is that Monday the 10th of August morning. For this area, a stretch like this isn’t unusual in the summer. Forecasts can shift, so don’t write it off completely.
Rusty.
