The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s chew on what’s shaping up for Rade de Croisic for the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, the forecast is a real bummer for the most part. We’ve got a lot of days with tiny, weak, and messy surf. The first real chance to paddle out doesn’t show up until Monday the 27th of July, and even then, it’s only just rideable, not anything to write home about. The swell is tiny, about 2 feet from the west, and the wind is light and offshore in the morning, so it’ll be clean. The period is a short 9 seconds, so not much oomph. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 68°F.
The biggest tease is the start of August. Saturday the 1st and Sunday the 2nd see a jump in the combined energy of all swells directed here, with readings like 125 and 180 (moderate energy), and swell heights up to 4 feet from the west. But the wind is howling onshore, 15 mph, and it’s just going to be a choppy, blown-out mess. The periods are short, around 6 seconds, so it’s all windswell and no shape. Honestly, with that wind and swell setup, this spot might be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The only standout I can point you to, if you’re itching for a session, is Monday morning the 27th of July. The swell is small, about 2 feet from the west, but the wind is light and offshore from the northeast. It’ll be clean, and the combined energy is a paltry 56, so it’s weak. The break is fairly consistent, and the optimum swell direction is from the southwest, so this west swell is a bit off, but it’s the best we’ve got. Expect crowds to be possible.
After that, the rest of the forecast is a desert of tiny, onshore, or glassy but tiny surf. The morning of the 31st of July is glassy, but the swell is only 0.7 feet. There’s nothing to ride. The second week looks like more of the same flatness, with a few larger swells on the 1st and 2nd of August, but they’re all blown out.
So, bottom line: one tiny, clean window on Monday the 27th, and then a long, frustrating gap. It’s a tough run for the Croisic.
Rusty.
