The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what the next couple of weeks are serving up for us.
To be straight with you, the outlook for the next week and a half is pretty grim. From now until the end of August, there's just nothing worth paddling out for. The swell is tiny, the wind is messy, or both. We're looking at a solid 11-day stretch of poor surf conditions, so don't bother checking the cams. You’d be better off getting the jobs done that you’ve been putting off.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn't arrive until Wednesday, the 2nd of September. The morning at Rade de Croisic sees a fresh 12 mph offshore breeze from the ENE, cleaning up a 6 ft swell rolling in from the WSW. The combined energy will be moderate (573), and the offshore wind is a major positive here. The morning session is looking like the standout of the entire period – clean, groomed lines with some decent push. Just be aware, it's a fairly consistent spot, but crowds are possible here, so get out there early for the best of it.
The afternoon on the 2nd gets a bit onshore, so the quality drops right off. Don't waste your time then.
Looking further ahead, Thursday the 3rd of September brings some beefy, long-period groundswell (12 seconds), with waves around 7 ft to 8 ft. The combined energy is strong (1102), but the cross-onshore wind from the SW will chop it up something fierce. It’s a kite surfing day, not a paddle surfing day. The same goes for the start of September, with a lot of onshore and cross-onshore winds spoiling the fun. The 2nd of September is your one true standout, everything else is a write-off.
So, to sum it up: wait for the 2nd of September, get on it early, and don't expect much else.
Rusty.
