The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's take a look at what's cookin' for the Rade de Croisic. Honestly, it's a pretty quiet stretch for the most part. The water's sittin' at 69°F, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year, so that's a nice little bonus if you're gettin' wet.
For the first week and a half, there's not much to get stoked about. Tiny, weak swells and onshore winds makin' a mess. The best you'll see in that period is a blink on Saturday morning the 12th, when the wind goes glassy and the ocean goes flat as a pancake—a 2ft wave with hardly any energy (51 combined energy). It's surfable, but just barely. Keep the log handy if you're jonesin', but don't expect much.
We then hit a long, dry gap with nothin' worth paddling for. The wind is mostly howlin' onshore or cross-onshore through the middle of the week with tiny swell that's just blown out.
The only real highlight is a long way off, on Friday, September 25th. Out of nowhere, we see a solid spike: a 5ft groundswell from the west with a very long period of 15 seconds. The combined energy jumps right up to 1024, which is strong. Best of all, the wind is offshore and moderate from the east. For the morning, that's "excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers." This one ain't for the groms—that size and period will have some punch. The afternoon looks good too, with the swell droppin' a bit to 4ft but still a clean 14-second period and light offshore breeze (569 combined energy). That's the session to circle on the calendar. Remember, it's over a week out, so the timing might wiggle a little, but the potential is there.
So, bottom line: a whole lot of flat spell, broken up by one promising, expert-level day on the 25th. Not a great run, but that one day looks like it could be a gem.
