The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's run through this for Rade de Croisic in feet and miles per hour.
This is a tough forecast, plain and simple. A long flat spell to start, and then mostly ordinary conditions throughout. The water is about 69°, which is a touch warmer than average for the season.
First up, there's a real gap before anything worthwhile. Sunday morning the 6th brings the first chance—small 2ft waves from the west with light offshore winds from the ESE, so it'll be clean but tiny. The combined swell energy is weak at 53. Nothing much else that day. Next decent window is Tuesday afternoon the 8th: 3ft west swell with a light cross-offshore breeze from the ENE cleaning things up. Energy is still modest at 158, but you might get a few fun ones on a small-wave board. Wednesday the 9th and Thursday the 10th are mostly messy with onshore winds.
Another quiet patch follows until Sunday morning the 13th: glassy conditions with 2ft west swell and an 11-second period. Energy is 128—weak—but that mirror-like surface is a rare bonus. Still, it's a marginal wave. The next few days are a write-off until Friday the 18th, when the swell picks up to 5ft from the west with an 11-second period and energy hitting 442. But the wind is cross-onshore from the WSW, so it'll be choppy and lumpy. Honestly, that setup looks better for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The final stretch from Saturday the 19th offers some hope. The morning brings clean 3ft west swell with a cross-offshore NE breeze and energy of 154. Sunday the 20th and Monday the 21st both have offshore winds from the ENE and E, keeping conditions clean, but the swell is small—2ft to 2ft—with energy from 50 to 114. Surfable, but very ordinary.
If I'm picking the best of a quiet bunch, it's Saturday morning the 19th (Rade de Croisic). The 3ft west swell is the best size of the clean windows, the cross-offshore NE wind should keep things tidy, and the break is fairly consistent, though you might find some company. It's not a classic, but it's your best bet. The Sunday the 6th morning is the other option, but it's tiny. Keep an eye on the forecast—things can change.
Rusty.
