Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s coming up for our little corner of the coast.
To be straight with you, the next 16 days are a tough watch. The swell is tiny and the conditions are mostly messy. We’re looking at a long period of flat, poor surf, so don't bother checking the cams until the very end of the run. The water is a notable 68°F which is 4°F warmer than usual for this time of year, so it’s a bit of a bath, but there’s no wave to enjoy it on.
The only real glimmer of hope comes on July 21st, Tuesday morning. We finally see a bump of 3ft from the WNW, with a short period of 6 seconds. The combined energy (109) is moderate, but the wind will be onshore from the WNW at 16 mph, making it lumpy. It’s a poor setup for a proper paddle, honestly. The only break to mention is Rade de Croisic, which is exposed to the SW, but the swell is coming from the WNW, so it’s not a great look. The crowds can be an issue here sometimes, but with this quality, I doubt anyone will be there.
For the rest of the window, it’s a total write-off. You’ve got days of 1.0ft to 2ft with onshore, cross-on, and choppy winds. There’s a brief moment on the 12th with offshore wind, but it’s on 1.0ft of swell, so you’d be floating on a lake. The 18th and 19th see strong breezes up to 28 mph, which is just a mess. If you’re into kitesurfing, the stronger wind days like the 18th might be worth a look, but for a surfboard, don’t even bother.
So, keep the board in the car shed. The 21st is the only date with a pulse, but it’s a long shot and will be ugly. That’s all she wrote.
Rusty.
