The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s check the Rade de Croisic area for the next 16 days. The outlook is a real bummer – we’re looking at a flat spell with no good surf on offer. The whole stretch is a bust.
It starts on Monday the 27th of July. The swell is a tiny 3 ft from the west, but the wind is cross-onshore from the northwest at 9 mph, making it choppy. The combined energy is a weak 102, and the wave comment says poor surf conditions. The afternoon gets worse with onshore winds at 15 mph.
Tuesday the 28th of July morning has a brief moment of clean conditions with offshore wind from the east-southeast at 9 mph, but the swell has dropped to 1 ft from the west with energy at 29. It’s glassy, but there’s nothing to ride.
From Wednesday the 29th of July through to the 10th of August, it’s a desert. The swell stays below 2 ft, and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore. For example, Wednesday the 29th morning has a 1 ft swell with 16 energy, and Friday the 31st is 0.7 ft with 15 energy. The water temperature on the 27th was 66°, with a tiny anomaly of 0.2° – so average for the time of year, but it doesn’t matter when there’s no waves.
There is a small bump on Friday the 7th of August, where the swell hits 4 ft from the west, but it’s short-period at 5 seconds and the wind is howling onshore at 22 mph. The energy is 90, but it’s blown-out and lumpy. Not worth it.
The 8th, 9th, and 10th of August offer swell around 3 ft to 3 ft, but all with fresh onshore winds and choppy conditions. The energy readings go up to 90, 68, 51, but it’s all wind-slop.
The only glimmer is on the 11th of August, Tuesday morning. We get a clean offshore wind from the east-northeast at 9 mph, and the swell is 1 ft from the west-northwest with an 8-second period. Energy is 39, and the water is clean. But it’s so small. The afternoon goes back to onshore from the west-northwest at 9 mph, with a 2 ft swell and 30 energy.
So, what’s the best? There’s no standout. The closest to a decent window is Tuesday the 28th of July morning with that offshore wind, but the swell is too small. The other is the 11th of August morning, again clean but tiny. The big swell event on the 7th of August is a no-go due to wind. The combined energy is weak, all under 100, so the ocean is flat. We’re looking at ten days of nothing from the 29th of July to the 6th of August.
It’s a rough run. The forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a total write-off. Keep the boards stashed.
Rusty.

Information about the Rade de Croisic Surf forecast
