The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for our stretch of coast. I’ll be straight with you – it’s a tough run for a while, but there’s a glimmer of hope if you can wait it out.

To be honest, for the next week and a bit, we’re looking at a pretty bleak picture. The first solid recommendation doesn’t pop up until the 31st of August. That’s a long stretch of poor conditions. From the 19th right through to the 30th, the surf is small, wonky, and mostly blown out. The energy is weak, with combined swell energy values mostly in the double digits, like a measly 15, or barely cracking 100 on a couple of days. The wind is a constant issue, either cross-on or straight onshore, making a mess of things. The water temperature is sitting about average for this time of year, nothing wild there.

There’s a brief moment on Sunday the 23rd and Monday the 24th where we get a clean look thanks to light cross-offshore winds, but the swell is tiny – we’re talking 0.6ft to 1ft with barely any energy. You could almost call it a lake. Not worth paddling out for.

Now, hang in there, because the end of the month is where things get interesting. The standout period starts on Monday, the 31st of August, and spills into Tuesday, the 1st of September. This is the best on offer, no contest.

For Rade de Croisic, Monday morning the 31st is calling. We’ve got a 5ft swell rolling in from the W with a period of 7 seconds and a combined energy of 323. That’s a solid amount of push. The wind is offshore out of the ENE at 12 mph, keeping the surface clean. This is where you want to be. It’s not huge, but it’s clean and rideable, and given how quiet it’s been, that’s a massive win. Keep in mind the spot can get crowded sometimes, so get in early.

Then, Tuesday morning the 1st of September is another beauty. The swell bumps up to 6ft from the SW, with an even better 8-second period and a combined energy of 437. The wind is a light offshore from the ESE at 9 mph, making for clean lines. This is a proper session. The swell direction is a good match for the break’s optimum. Tuesday afternoon, the wind turns a little cross-on and the energy jumps to 572, but the morning window is the one to chase.

After that, the surf drops off again into smaller, less energetic conditions from the 2nd of September onwards.

So to sum it up: ignore this week, suffer through the small chop, and circle the 31st of August and the 1st of September. Monday morning and Tuesday morning are your windows for clean, punchy waves at Rade de Croisic. Don’t sleep on it.

Rusty.
