The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’ve gotta be straight with you – the next 16 days around Rade de Croisic are looking flat. We’re in for a long, quiet stretch. There’s basically no surf to get excited about.
The water is sitting at 70°F right now, which is a solid 4°F warmer than usual for this time of year – feels more like a bath than the Atlantic, but it’s nice for a paddle if you’re not bothered by the lack of waves.
Looking at the first week, from Tuesday the 21st right through to the end of July, it’s tiny. Most mornings you’ll see 0.7ft to 1.0ft of weak, westerly swell with combined energy values barely reaching double digits – the highest we see is a 25 (weak energy) on the Saturday afternoon the 25th, but that’s with a nasty 25 mph onshore wind. The wind swings around a bit, with some clean offshore mornings from the east, but there’s simply no swell to work with. The wave comment says “poor surf conditions” for every single entry, and the scores are all zeros. It’s a quiet period.
The only time the swell bumps up at all is around Sunday the 26th and Monday the 27th. On Sunday morning, we get 4ft from the west with a combined energy of 102 (moderate), but the wind is a fresh cross-onshore from the northwest at 19 mph, making it lumpy. That afternoon, it jumps to 6ft from the west, energy 212 (moderate), but the onshore wind is 22 mph – it’s blown out, messy, and the period is a short 6 seconds. That’s more of a kite surfing setup than a paddle session. Monday the 27th morning has the biggest energy of the entire run at 420 (strong), with 4ft from the west-northwest and a 9-second period, but the wind is still cross-onshore. It’s not clean, and the wave comment still says “poor surf conditions.”
After that, it drops right back down. The first week of August is more of the same – 0.7ft to 2ft, weak energy, and mostly onshore or cross-onshore winds. There are a couple of glassy mornings on Saturday the 1st and Monday the 3rd, but with only 0.7ft and 1ft of swell, you’re looking at flat, mirror-like water. Not a wave to be had.
Honestly, for a spot that’s “fairly consistent” and exposed to the southwest, this is a disappointing run. The swell direction is always from the west or west-northwest, which is fine, but there’s just no size and the wind is rarely your friend. I’d say don’t bother waxing the board for the next two weeks. Keep an eye on the charts, but for now, it’s a total bust.
Rusty.
