The Lowdown

Alright, grab your board, ‘cause I’ve been staring at the charts for the Rade de Croisic, and let me tell you, it’s a bit of a mixed bag for the next couple of weeks. We’re looking at a stretch that’s got some real highs, but also a whole lot of “meh” in between.

Right out of the gate, for the 16th and 17th, it’s pretty grim. We’ve got onshore winds and junky, weak surf. The energy’s all over the place, but the waves are just gonna be messy and blown out. Don’t even bother waxing up for that. The water’s sitting at 68°F, which is a couple degrees warmer than usual for this time, so the rubber’s gonna feel nice and toasty, at least.

Then, things start to look interesting. On the morning of Friday the 18th, the wind drops to glassy. That’s a huge deal. The swell jumps to 3ft from the west with a solid 16-second period, and the energy reading is 520. That’s some proper, long-period groundswell. It’s still not huge, but it’s clean. It’s really the only window on offer for that first week, and it’s a good one for a dawn patrol. Just know that this break is fairly consistent, but it can get busy sometimes.

After that, we’re back into a dry spell. From Saturday the 19th all the way through to Wednesday the 23rd, the surf just fades away. We’re talking small, weak, and mostly messy. There are a few mornings with clean conditions, but there’s barely any swell to ride. You’ll be sitting on your board, bobbing around more than surfing. It’s a long stretch of nothing much.

Finally, on the afternoon of Monday the 23rd, the wind swings offshore and the swell starts to fill back in from the WSW. It’s a modest 3ft, but it’s clean. Then it kinda stays small and average through the 27th.

But the real standout, the one you should be circling on your calendar, is the morning of Monday the 28th of September. We’ve got a 3ft W swell, but it’s riding on a 15-second period, and the energy meter is pumping at 810. The wind is light, cross-off, and the report says “very good surf conditions.” This is the best combination of size, power, and clean conditions in the whole forecast. Don’t sleep on it.

And just when you think it’s over, the very end of the window throws a curveball. On the morning of Wednesday the 30th, the swell is predicted to jump to 8ft, with the energy sky-rocketing to 1211. The wind is offshore and clean, but the period drops to a short 9 seconds. It’s a lot of power, and this swell is gonna be too big for the Rade de Croisic. It’s only for the experts, and even then, it looks like it’s just gonna be a washing machine. The morning of Thursday the 1st of October is still big, at 8ft, but it’s clean, and for experienced surfers, that’s a proper score. Just be careful out there.

So, to be honest, there are only two real highlights: that glassy, long-period swell on the morning of the 18th, and the bigger, cleaner day on the morning of the 28th. The rest is a waiting game. It’s a frustrating forecast, but there’s enough on the table to keep the stoke alive.

This is Rusty, signing off.
