The Lowdown
Right then, Rusty again, giving you the lowdown in feet and Fahrenheit.
Looking at the 16-day stretch for Rade de Croisic, we’re in for a bit of a dry spell. Don’t get your hopes up too high.
The only real chance for a session is on Tuesday the 8th. The morning offers a 3ft west swell with moderate energy (231). The wind’s a light cross-offshore from the northeast, leaving the surface clean. It’s small, but it’s the pick of the lot. Later that day, the wind goes glassy with a 3ft west swell, but the energy backs off a bit (125). The water’s sitting at 68°, which is slightly warmer than usual for the season. That Tuesday morning window is your best bet, no question.
After that, it’s a long, sorry tale. From Tuesday afternoon right through to Sunday the 20th, it’s largely poor. Onshore winds, chop, and tiny waves dominate. There’s a pulse of bigger energy on the 11th with a 5ft west swell (613), but a strong onshore wind at 25 mph from the west turns it into a total mess. That’s kite-surfing territory, not for a surfboard.
The final few days, from the 18th onward, stay tiny – around 0.7ft to 1ft from the west. The wind turns clean and cross-offshore, but with hardly any height, you’ll be lucky to catch a ripple. A real patience-testing period.
Rusty.

Information about the Rade de Croisic Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Rade de Croisic provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Rade de Croisic can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Rade de Croisic surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Rade de Croisic) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Rade de Croisic may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
