The Lowdown
Alright, this is a tough one to call. Let's be real, Rade de Croisic is flat as a pancake for the foreseeable future. I'm looking at the charts and the first week and a half is a whole lot of nothing. Tiny little 0.7ft to 1ft waves from the west, and the wind is all over the place, mostly cross-off or onshore. The swell energy is just pathetic, barely cracking double digits most days. It's a bust.
The water is sitting at about 71° which is way warmer than it should be for this time of year, but that doesn't help when there's nothing to ride.
We get a little bump of energy around the 27th of July, with a 3ft to 4ft swell but it's a messy, short-period windswell with onshore winds. That's a recipe for chop and close-outs, not a good time. The only real standout in the whole 16-day window is the morning of the 28th of July. We've got a 3ft swell from the WNW with a longer 9-second period, and the wind is a clean cross-off from the north. The combined energy finally hits 103 (moderate), which is the best we'll see. It's a pulse, and it'll be clean, but it's still just a small wave. For a savvy local, it might be worth a look for a quick, quiet session, but don't expect much.
After that, it's back to tiny, onshore junk. A long stretch of nothing. To be honest, with the wind and these tiny waves, this setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. The 1st of August has a small uptick in energy, but it's blown out.
So, there you have it. A long dry spell with one tiny window of clean, small surf on the 28th. Not much to get excited about.
