The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, lookin' over the same stretch for the Rade de Croisic. Gotta be honest, it's a pretty quiet run. We're looking at a long gap before anything really gets you out of bed.
Right off the bat, from Tuesday, July 28th, right through to the morning of Wednesday, August 5th, it's mostly flat to tiny, choppy junk. The wind is onshore or cross-onshore, ruining the few scraps of swell we get. The combined wave energy is in the teens and twenties – that's just weak. Don't plan your life around it.
Now, the morning of Wednesday, August 5th, that's the one bright spot. It's small, with a 0.7m swell from the WSW, but the wind goes dead calm – glassy. It's only got a combined energy of 60, so it's weak, but for a clean, tiny wave, it's your best shot for a fun little session on a log. The water temp is about normal for this time of year, around 66°F.
After that, it goes quiet again. We get a bigger pulse of energy on Tuesday, August 11th, with a 1.6m to 1.7m swell from the WSW and W, and the combined energy hits 647. That's a lot of juice. But the wind is cross-onshore, making it choppy and messy. The period is around 11 seconds, so it's a proper swell, but the wind is going to make it a battle. This one looks more like a kite-surfing day than a paddle-surfing one.
Your last chance for a clean wave is the morning of Wednesday, August 12th. A 0.7m swell from the west, combined energy of 75, and a clean, cross-offshore wind from the SE. It's small, but it'll be clean. If you're jonesin' for a paddle, that's your window.
The standout: The glassy morning of Wednesday, August 5th. It's tiny, but it's the only time it's truly clean. For a small-wave session, that's your best bet. Don't expect much more than that.
Rusty, signing off.
