Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Rade de Croisic over the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch.
To be honest, the whole 16-day period is a bit of a write-off for decent waves. There’s a real gap right from the start, and it barely lets up. The first Saturday morning, July 4th, does have some surfable waves, but the conditions are very ordinary. We’re looking at a small 2ft west swell with a 10-second period, coming from the W. The combined swell energy is weak (76), and while the wind is a light 6 mph cross-off from the NNE, it’s just not enough to make this place sing. The water temp is about average for the time of year.
After that morning, it’s a long, grim run. From Saturday afternoon all the way through to Sunday, July 19th, nearly every session is rated as poor surf conditions. The swell stays tiny, mostly between 0.7ft and 2ft, and the wind is almost always onshore from the W or WNW, often blowing 12–19 mph. You’ll see plenty of sessions with combined swell energy in the double digits – really weak stuff. There’s a brief moment on Monday, July 6th, with a light offshore ENE breeze and clean conditions, but the swell is only 1ft. Not worth paddling out for.
Even the days with slightly bigger swell, like Monday, July 13th, when the afternoon sees 3ft from the WNW with period 8 seconds and moderate energy (155), it’s ruined by a 22 mph onshores. That kind of setup is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing honestly.
The only tiny glimmer is the very last morning, Sunday, July 19th. We get a light 6 mph cross-shore breeze from the S, and the swell is a weak 1ft from the W with a 9-second period. The combined energy is still low (28). It’s clean-ish, but with barely any swell, you’d be hard-pressed to get a ride.
Look, when the finder shows no recommendations for the entire window, it’s a sign to do something else. This area can go through quiet runs, and this is one of them. The forecasts can change, but for now, leave the board in the car.
Rusty.
