The Lowdown

Hey, Rusty again. Let’s talk about the Rade de Croisic in the units you folks across the pond might prefer. Brace yourselves, because it’s a lean couple of weeks.

From Monday the 24th right through the end of August, the surf is basically a no-show. We’re looking at waves of 1 to 2 feet max, with weak, short-period energy. The wind is a mess—coming from every direction except the right one. On the 27th, there is a little bump of energy (234), but it’s crossed up and ugly. Don’t bother.

Into early September, the swell picks up a bit—3 to 6 feet—but the wind is the story. Onshore and sideshore winds from the west and southwest, gusting 20 to 30 mph. The ocean is a choppy, lumpy disaster. The 3rd, 4th, and 5th of September have some size and strong wind, which might be more fun for the kite crew than the paddle crew.

But listen, there is one tiny ray of light. It’s a long way off, on Sunday the 6th and Monday the 7th of September. Sunday the 6th morning shows a 20-second period groundswell out of the WSW. The wave height is only about 2 feet, but that period is gorgeous, with a combined energy of 510. The wind is light and the bumps are small. Monday the 7th morning is similar, with a 2-3 foot swell at 15 seconds and energy of 536. The water temp is 68°, right where it should be for this time of year.

These two days are the only real highlights in the whole outlook. It’s a classic long-period groundswell—better on a point or reef—and with the light wind, it could be surprisingly fun. But it’s over a week away, so keep your fingers crossed.

That’s the picture. Not much to work with, but the ocean can always surprise us.

Rusty.

A general guide to surfing at Rade de Croisic can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Rade de Croisic may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
