Rade de Croisic Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what’s on offer for Rade de Croisic.

Honestly, mate, it’s a flat spell out there for the foreseeable. The first proper surf I can see isn’t until Tuesday the 25th of August, so you’re looking at a good two-week gap with nothing worth paddling out for. The coming days are all tiny, choppy, and mostly onshore – not worth your time.

Best I can tell you is to keep it on the back burner until late in the month. For the whole run up to then, we’re talking about waves barely cracking 3 ft, mostly weak west-northwest windswell with combined energy values rarely climbing above 100 (52 to 111). The wind is all over the shop but mostly blowing onshore or cross-onshore, and the few offshore moments come with nothing behind them. One to skip.

Now, onto that Tuesday the 25th. The morning looks like the only real highlight. Rade de Croisic picks up a clean 6 ft swell from the WSW with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy jumps right up to 554 (moderate wave energy). That’s a serious step up. The wind is offshore from the north-northeast at 6 mi/h, which means clean conditions. That size is getting a bit much for a beginner, but for anyone who’s been waiting, it’s ready to go. It won’t be a huge crowd, but it’s a spot that can get busy, so expect a few others with the same idea.

The afternoon sees the swell drop a little to 6 ft, still decent at 574 combined energy, but the wind swings around onshore from the west-northwest, so it’ll get messy. Stick to the morning if you can.

Water temp is sitting around 68° with a 1° anomaly – about average for this time of year, so no shock to the system.

There’s not much else to say. It’s a two-week drought, then one promising morning. Keep an eye on the forecasts, though; things can change.

Rusty.
