Rade de Croisic Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what’s coming down the line for the next couple of weeks.

Well, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a grim start. We’ve got a long, flat spell on our hands. From Sunday the 2nd all the way through to Wednesday morning the 12th, there’s just nothing worth paddling out for at Rade de Croisic. It’s a real dry patch, and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-on, chewing up any tiny swell that tries to show. You’re better off leaving the board in the car.

Finally, on Wednesday morning the 12th, we get a little flicker of life. The swell nudges up to 2ft from the WSW, with a period of 9 seconds. The combined swell energy is still weak at (79), but for the first time in ages, we’ve got a clean set of waves thanks to a light cross-offshore breeze from the NE. It’s surfable, but honestly, it’s pretty ordinary. You’ll find a few knee-high lumps, but don’t expect any magic.

Thursday morning the 13th is a similar story – 2ft from the W, with that same clean cross-offshore wind from the ENE giving you a glassy surface. The energy is still minimal (52), so again, we’re just talking about small, weak waves. It’s a paddle, but it’s not going to get the heart racing.

If you look way down the line, there’s something that catches the eye. On Monday morning the 17th, we see the swell building to 6ft from the WSW, with the combined energy jumping into the moderate range at (215). The wind is a light cross-onshore from the NW, which could keep things reasonably clean. But that’s over a week and a half away, so take it with a pinch of salt for now. It’s promising, but not a sure thing.

So, the standout session in this whole outlook is Wednesday morning the 12th. It’s the first clean window we get, and while the waves are tiny, at least you won’t be getting blown off your board. If you’re desperate for a paddle, that’s your best bet.

Stay patient, keep an eye on the charts, and I’ll catch you next time.

Rusty.
