The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – looking at the Rade de Croisic forecast for the next 16 days is a bit of a tough read. We’re in for a long, dry spell with hardly anything worth paddling out for. The water temp is sitting at 67°, which is just about average for this time of year, so that’s not the issue – it’s the wind and the lack of any decent window.
For the first week and a half, from now well into the first days of September, it’s pretty much a write-off. We’re looking at a stretch of poor surf conditions with mostly cross-onshore or onshore winds and choppy, messy waves. You’ll see a bit of a spike in swell around the 29th of August with some 7ft stuff, but it’s arriving with a strong breeze (25 mph) right in your face, and the combined energy (440) just means a messy, blown-out mess. Not worth it.
The gap of proper rideable waves is huge, lasting almost the entire first week of September. Most days have light wind, but the swell's tiny or weak. There’s a small uptick on the 4th of September with 4ft from the west, but it’s still cross-onshore and choppy.
Finally, we get a real highlight. On the morning of Sunday, the 6th of September, it all comes together. The swell is a clean 4ft from the west with a 10-second period – that’s solid groundswell energy (339). The wind is from the ENE at just 3 mph, which is glassy. That is the standout of the whole forecast. The Rade de Croisic will be clean, lined up, and worth the wait. The afternoon gets a bit more wind and the surf gets a little lumpy, but that morning session is the one to circle.
After that, we’re back to ordinary cross-onshore slop for the rest of the run. The 8th of September morning has a little clean cross-off breeze and some knee-high waves, but it’s not a standout. The long-range looks mostly poor.
Rusty.
