The Lowdown

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

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a rough stretch. We’re looking at a long, dry spell. There’s nothing worth paddling out for for over a week. From Thursday the 16th right through to Tuesday the 28th of July, the surf is a total write-off. Tiny little 0.3ft to 2ft slop, with periods that are all over the shop, mostly under 8 seconds. The energy is weak, barely tickling the 10-20 mark. Even when the wind is glassy or offshore, like on the 16th morning with a 3 mph WNW breeze, or the 21st with a 12 mph offshore from the east, there’s just no swell to work with. It’s a flat spell, plain and simple.

The one tiny flicker of hope comes late on the 28th, but it’s more of a warning than a welcome. Afternoon sees that swell jump to 5ft from the SW, with a period of 7 seconds, and the energy cranks up to 255. But the wind is a nasty 22 mph onshore from the west. That’s a messy, blown-out mess for paddle surfing. Honestly, with that much wind and a beach setup, you’d be better off rigging a kite than trying to paddle a surfboard.

Now, the only day that gets a nod at all is Wednesday the 29th of July. The morning shows a 5ft swell from the WSW, with a period of 8 seconds and a solid 300 energy score. The wind is a light 6 mph cross-shore from the north. That’s a juicy amount of water moving, but it’s a short-period swell, so it’ll be a bit lumpy and won’t have the push of a groundswell. For a spot like Rade de Croisic, which is fairly consistent but exposed to the SW, this could be the only window. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so no drama there. But the crowds are sometimes a thing here, so you might have to share that peak. Still, at 5ft, it’s right on the edge of being too big for beginners. It’s a one-day wonder, and then the energy drops back off. Don’t get your hopes up for the rest of the week after that.

So, your best bet – and it’s a weak one – is Wednesday morning, the 29th of July. The rest of the 16 days is a write-off. No standouts, just a single, average-sized day with a bit of cross-shore wind. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a long wait for a very short window.

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.
