The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
Well, I’m gonna be straight with you – this is a rough one. We’re looking at a solid 16-day stretch where the ocean just doesn’t wanna play ball. The first solid recommendation doesn’t show up, and honestly, it’s a struggle to find any real reason to paddle out. The whole run is plagued by tiny swell and onshore junk. You’ll see a few mornings with cleaner conditions, but the swell is barely there to ride.
The first real chance to wet a line comes on Friday, August 7th. Rade de Croisic is the only spot on the radar. We’re talking a tiny 0.7 ft of swell coming from the W, with a period of 10 seconds. That’s a long period for a dribble, meaning long waits between sets for a knee-high wave. The good news? The wind is offshore from the E at 12 mph, so the surface will be glassy. But honestly, it’s a session for a log or a kayak. The combined swell energy is a weak 10, so there’s just no power.
After that, the rest of the run is a write-off. The wind shifts onshore again, and the swell stays pathetic. There’s a little blip of energy on Sunday, August 9th, with 3 ft from the W and an 8-second period, but the wind is howling onshore at 19 mph, making it a complete mess. The combined energy hits 90, but with that wind, it’s more of a washing machine.
The bottom line: there’s no standout, no hidden gem, no silver lining. The water temp is sitting at 66°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year, so at least the water will be warm if you want to swim. But if you’re after a wave, you’re out of luck. This is the kind of forecast that has you checking the charts for next month.
Rusty.
