The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for the Rade de Croisic over the next couple of weeks.
First off, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough stretch. There’s a big gap of a few days with no real surf to speak of right at the start, and then only a couple of very brief windows where it might be worth getting wet. The ocean is just not playing ball for a while.
The only real standout we’ve got is a very brief window on Sunday morning the 6th of September. The swell is tiny, only 2ft from the West, but what makes it interesting is the offshore wind. A light breeze from the ESE is giving us clean conditions. The water temperature is sitting at 68°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. The combined swell energy is weak (53), so it’s not going to be powerful, but for a quick paddle on a longboard, it’s the best we’re going to see for a while. It’s surfable but very ordinary.
After that, the wind turns onshore and the conditions get messy. From Sunday afternoon all the way through to the following Saturday, it’s mostly poor surf conditions with onshore winds and choppy, bumpy faces. There’s a bit more size on Monday the 7th of September, with the swell picking up to 3ft to 4ft from the WSW, and the combined energy jumps to moderate (336 to 437), but the wind is straight onshore from the WSW, ruining any chance of a clean wave. Same story on the Tuesday – bigger swell, but howling onshore winds.
We get a tiny glimmer of hope on Saturday morning the 12th of September. The wind drops out completely, going glassy, and the swell is a tiny 2ft from the West. It’s another one for the log, but the energy is low (58). It’s surfable, but very ordinary.
The rest of the forecast is a long, flat, and windy affair. The waves stay small, between 1ft and 3ft, and the wind is mostly cross-onshore or onshore, chopping everything up. The Rade de Croisic is a fairly consistent spot, so this blank run is a bit of a bust, but the swell just isn't there. If you’re desperate, you could try the Sunday morning or the following Saturday morning, but don’t expect much.
Rusty.
