The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with you about the Rade de Croisic. Over the next 16 days, the surf is going to be a real struggle. It’s gonna be a long, dry spell. The water temperature is sitting at a pleasant 67.6°, which is a bit warmer than usual for this time of year, but that’s about the only good news.
The first real chance to get wet doesn’t pop up until Saturday, the 5th of September. The early morning is your best bet, with a tiny 2 ft west swell rolling in. The wind will be light and offshore from the ENE, so it should be clean. But with a combined swell energy of only 114 (moderate), it's really ordinary and I wouldn't set the alarm for it. By the afternoon, the wind swings onshore and it’s gone.
After that, it’s a brutal stretch. From Saturday afternoon through to the 11th of September, the Rade is just not doing anything. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, the swell is small, and the combined energy is weak. A few days like Monday the 7th see some bigger swell energy (278 and 436 on the afternoon) with a 3.5 ft WSW swell, but it’s all garbage with the wind or the direction.
We get a brief tease on Saturday the 12th of September morning. Another tiny 1.5 ft west swell, with a clean cross-offshore breeze from the NE. Combined energy is a measly 50 (weak), so it’s truly just a paddle, not a surf. Sunday morning, the 13th, is similar, with clean offshore ENE winds, but the swell is only 1.5 ft.
It doesn't get any better, folks. The outlook is just a succession of days with tiny waves and a raw deal from the wind. There’s nothing on offer here that is worth getting excited about. This area is just locked into a long, blank run. It’s one of those periods where you’re better off cleaning your board than driving to the beach.
