Table - best surf conditions forecast for Rade de Croisic over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. The outlook for the next couple of weeks is looking pretty bleak, I'm not gonna lie. We’ve got a solid run of really small, messy, or flat conditions on the cards. The first real chance of anything surfable doesn’t pop up until the 11th of August, and even then it’s a very marginal call.
Overall Pattern
We’re staring down the barrel of a long, dry spell. From now right through until the morning of the 11th, it’s a write-off. The swell is tiny, coming from the west mostly, and the wind is always on it or cross-onshore, tearing it to bits. It’s going to be a frustrating watch for the next week and a half.
The Glimmer of Hope (11th August)
The only thing worth getting out of bed for in this whole period is the Tuesday morning of the 11th of August. The swell is tiny, only 3 ft from the west, but the period is a modest 8 seconds. The wind is dead calm, absolute glass. The combined energy is moderate (106). The water is running about 66°F and is normal for the time of year. The comment says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions" – it’s not going to be pumping, but it’ll be the most rideable we’ve seen. The spot is Rade de Croisic. The optimum swell direction is from the SW, and the swell is coming from the west, so it’s not a perfect match, but on a morning like that with zero wind, even a weak, close-out wave can be a fun grovel.
The Rest of the Window
After that Tuesday morning, the wind swings back onshore and the conditions get choppy again by the afternoon. The 12th of August has some clean early windows with a cross-offshore breeze from the south and 2 ft west swell, but the energy is weak (37). It’s an option if you’re truly desperate, but it’s nothing to write home about.
Honestly, for the next 16 days, hold onto that Tuesday 11th morning window. It’s the only real standout, and it’s a very small standout. The water is a normal 66°F for this time of year, nothing unusual there. The rest of the time, the swell is too weak and the wind is too messy. It’s a tough run for the Rade de Croisic.
