The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here again, breaking down the same outlook for the Rade de Croisic. We’ve got a tough 16 days ahead. The first chunk is a total washout—days of tiny, weak swell and onshore wind. The water temp is 68°F, which is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.

The one and only glimmer of hope comes on Thursday, 14 August. The morning session at Rade de Croisic is the only time we see "surfable" conditions. It’s small, with a swell of 2ft from the west, and a clean cross-off breeze out of the NNE at 9 mph. The wave energy is weak (83) and the period is short at 9 seconds, so it won’t be powerful, but it’ll be clean. It’s the standout because it’s the only standout, but it’s nothing to get excited about.

Everything else is a mess. The swell tries to push up to 3ft from the west in the afternoons, but the wind cranks onshore at 19 mph, turning it into a bumpy, blown-out mess. The combined wave energy gets up to moderate levels (122 and 167), but it’s all wind-slop. This kind of beach setup with that wind is more for the kite surfers than us.

The rest of the forecast is just more of the same: tiny, weak, and onshore. A long, dry spell like this is pretty normal for the area when the weather sets in. Don’t get your hopes up, but things can turn quick.

Rusty.
