The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Rade de Croisic.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this 16-day stretch is a tough one. The whole window is a write-off for anything decent. There’s not a single session that scores a recommendation, so we’re looking at a solid 16-day gap without any surf worth paddling out for. It’s a real bummer, but it happens.
The energy is just gutless. Even the best of a bad bunch, like the morning of the 4th of August, is only showing a tiny 2ft swell from the west at 8 seconds, with a combined energy of just 37. That’s weak, and with a cross-onshore wind blowing at 12 mph, it’s gonna be choppy and messy. Not worth your wax.
We get a slight bump in swell size around the 15th of August, with a 4ft west swell, but the period is only 8 seconds, and the energy is still very low at 156. The wind is onshore, chopping it up. It’s just not gonna shape up.
The whole period is plagued by onshore or cross-onshore winds. There are a couple of mornings, like the 7th and 8th of August, where the wind goes light and offshore, but the swell is non-existent – 0.7ft to 1.0ft. It’s flat, mate.
This is just one of those blank runs for the area. The forecasts can change, but as it stands, save your energy and don’t bother with the boards. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no help there.
Stay tuned, things can turn around. Rusty out.
