The Lowdown
Right, gather 'round. Rusty here, looking at the Rade de Croisic for the next couple of weeks. It's a pretty bleak picture for most of it, I'm not gonna lie. We've got a long stretch of dud conditions with barely a ripple, and nothing that would get a surfer out of bed for a while.
The first sniff of anything even close to surfable doesn't show up until Sunday the 30th of August. It's not much to write home about, with a weak 3ft swell from the W and a tiny period of just 7 seconds. The real highlight is the wind, which goes totally glassy in the morning. The combined wave energy is very weak, at only 109, so expect small, gutless waves. The water temp is sitting at 68°, which is about average for the time of year. It's surfable, but only just, and it's very ordinary.
From there, the conditions get messy again. We get a pulse of bigger swell around the 31st, with 6ft from the WSW, but it's a short-period, wind-affected mess with onshore winds making it choppy and unappealing. The combined energy jumps right up to 358, showing there's power there, but the wind just ruins it. This pattern of bigger, messy swells and poor winds continues for the next few days.
There's one more interesting window right at the end of the forecast, on Sunday the 6th of September. The morning shows a gentle offshore wind from the E, with a 3ft swell from the WNW. The period is a reasonable 8 seconds, and the combined energy is moderate at 174. It’s described as "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions", so again, nothing to shout about. It's the only other time in the whole 16 days where the wind might line up to give you a clean wave.
For the rest of the time, it's a no-go. Too much onshore wind, too much chop, and the swell is either non-existent or too wind-affected to be any fun. The whole setup looks like a kite surfer's playground for the most part, not one for a paddle surfer.
Keep the faith, but don't expect much. Forecasts can change, but right now it's a pretty quiet two weeks. This is Rusty, signing off.
