The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for the Rade de Croisic over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it's a tough stretch. The whole 16-day window is looking grim. The first surfable wave doesn't even show up until Monday, September 7th, so we're talking about a solid two-week gap with nothing but tiny, weak, and messy conditions. The wind's howling from the wrong directions, or it's dead flat. Honestly, it's a write-off until then.
For that first bit of hope on Monday, September 7th, the morning session at Rade de Croisic might just give us a little something. We're looking at a tiny 1ft swell from the west, but the period is a promising 12 seconds, which is a proper groundswell. The combined energy is weak though, only 56 (combined energy of all swells directed here). The good news is the wind is a gentle offshore from the SSE, which should keep the surface clean. It's described as "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," so don't expect any magic. It's a long wait for a very small, clean wave. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual to report there.
Given the strong winds and messy conditions forecast for the majority of the period, especially the days with significant swell, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The Rade de Croisic is an exposed spot, but when the wind screams onshore and the swell gets lumpy, it's a tough paddle for not much reward.
All in all, it's a quiet period. The only flicker of life is that Monday morning on the 7th, and even that's a tiny one. Hang in there, folks.
Rusty.
