The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s run through it for Rade de Croisic, this time in feet and Fahrenheit.
The outlook is pretty quiet for the first week. Tiny, messy, onshore junk. The real moment to be excited about is way out on the 16th of September—the only true standout.
Thursday the 3rd and Friday the 4th are a bust. Swell is tiny, 2ft to 3ft from the west, with cross-onshore or onshore winds. The wave comment says “poor surf conditions.” The combined swell energy peaks at just 133 on Thursday afternoon. Not worth a paddle.
Saturday the 5th is the first half-decent day. Morning has a clean 2ft W swell with cross-offshore winds, though it’s “very ordinary.” The afternoon gets glassy with a 2ft W swell at a long 13-second period—combined energy is 162, moderate. That’s tidy but small. Long-period swell at a beach can run straight, but it’s clean.
Sunday the 6th wipes out again with tiny 1ft swell and strong offshore winds. Not happening.
Then we hit a dead zone. From Sunday the 6th all the way through Monday the 15th of September, every slot is rated “poor” or “marginal.” Some days have clean wind, like the 14th with ENE 15 mph cross-offshore, but the swell is only 1ft to 2ft. Combined energy is weak, in the double digits. Nothing surfable.
The one shining window is the morning of Tuesday the 16th of September. We get a 3ft W swell, a very long period of 14 seconds, and good offshore ENE winds at 20 mph. The wave comment is “expect good surf conditions” and combined energy is 338—moderate but solid. That’s groundswell, so the shape will be much better, though the long period might make the beach setup a bit walled. With offshore winds making it clean, this is the only true standout in the whole 16-day window. Water temp is 68°, right around average for this time of year.
After that, it goes back to small and ordinary.
So the story is: a long, flat stretch leading into the 16th. Only that morning delivers. Be ready.
Rusty.
