Hey, Rusty here. Let’s be real about Rade de Croisic. We’re in for a long, slow start. The first week is almost completely flat with tiny, weak waves and junk conditions every day. Don’t bother paddling out. The first sign of life shows up on Tuesday, July 14th.
That Tuesday afternoon, we get a tiny bump of 2ft from the SW with an 11-second period. The combined swell energy is 103 (moderate) and the wind is dead calm – glassy. It’s barely surfable, but that glass makes it look half decent. Not a highlight.
The only real standout, the best of the whole 16 days, is from Monday morning, July 20th, through Tuesday, July 21st. Monday morning, we’ve got 4ft of swell from the W, 8-second period, with a combined energy of 159 (moderate). The wind is glassy from the SSE. That’s clean, that’s rideable. Best we’ll get. Then Tuesday morning, 4ft from the W with a moderate offshore breeze from the E at 15 mph. Combined energy jumps to 194 (moderate). That offshore wind will have it looking slick. That’s your window.
Rade de Croisic is exposed to the SW. It’s fairly consistent, and you might see a few other people out. Water temp is running much warmer than normal for this time of year, about 2° warmer than average. Feels like a warm bath.
Bottom line: you’ve got over a week of nothing, then a couple of mornings that are worth a look. After Tuesday the 21st, the outlook dries up again. Keep the board waxed but don’t get your hopes up too high.
Rusty.
