The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here, checking the forecast for Rade de Croisic. Look, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – this is a rough stretch. We’re looking at 16 days, but it’s all quiet for the first couple. The first sniff of anything rideable doesn’t pop up until Saturday the 5th of September, and even that’s pretty average.
So, kicking off Thursday the 3rd of September, don't even bother. It’s a nasty cross-onshore to onshore wind blowing 9 mph, smashing a tiny 0.7 feet of west swell with a short period of 8 seconds. The wave energy is a weak 54. It's choppy and ugly. Friday is the same story – ugly onshore wind with 0.6 to 0.7 feet of swell.
Alright, Saturday morning the 5th of September is the one small highlight. The wind shifts to a clean cross-offshore from the ENE at only 6 mph – that’s a big win. The swell is tiny at 0.5 feet from the west, but it’s a long-period groundswell of 14 seconds, which means better shape and more punch, though it might run a bit straight here. The wave energy is moderate at 135. It’s surfable, but nothing special. Crowds are possible, so you might have company. Water temp is about normal for this time of year.
Sunday the 6th of September morning is clean with an offshore east wind at 12 mph, but the swell drops to a measly 0.4 feet with weak energy of 33. Forget it. The rest of that week and into the second week is a complete bust – mostly onshore winds, tiny weak swell, and wave energy mostly under 100, with a few higher readings but always trashed by bad wind.
Monday the 14th of September sees a pulse – a very long 16-second groundswell with 1.0 feet of swell and big energy readings of 503 and 496. But the wind is howling onshore from the WSW at 12 to 19 mph. That’s a total mess. That kind of setup with solid swell and strong onshore wind looks way better for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Tuesday the 15th of September morning offers another clean window with a cross-offshore NE breeze at 9 mph for a tiny 0.5 feet, 11-second swell. Surfable but very ordinary.
From there, it’s all onshore wind and tiny, weak swell right to the end. Look, a dry spell like this is pretty normal here, and things usually turn around, but there’s nothing on the table to get excited about. Your best bet is Saturday morning the 5th or maybe Tuesday morning the 15th, but only if you're real keen.
