The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the next couple of weeks around Rade de Croisic.
Honestly, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. The outlook is grim for the first week and a half. We’re looking at a real dry spell. From Friday the 24th of July all the way through to Friday the 31st of July, the surf is just not worth paddling out for. It’s a flat patch with next to no energy. The water temp is sitting at about 66°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.
We finally get a tiny glimmer of hope on Saturday morning, the 1st of August. But even then, it’s barely a pulse. The swell is coming from the west with a period of 10 seconds, but the height is only 2 feet. The combined energy is weak (53). The wind is glassy, so it’ll look pretty, but you’ll be bobbing around on very small, weak waves. Don’t get your hopes up for a proper ride.
The next real chance of anything with a bit of push doesn’t show up until much later. The morning of Saturday the 8th of August sees a bit of a pulse. The swell from the west picks up to 3 feet with a 9-second period, and the combined energy jumps to a moderate 186. The wind is a clean cross-offshore from the north-northeast at 12 mph, which is a solid positive for tidying things up. That afternoon, the swell height bumps up to 4 feet, and the energy gets even stronger at 317. But the wind shifts onshore from the west-northwest, and that’s going to ruin the surface.
If you’re an expert and you’re desperate, the Saturday morning of the 8th of August is the absolute best of a bad bunch. That 3 feet west swell with clean cross-off winds will be the only time the waves look half-decent. But it’s still small, and it’s a long way off, so the confidence in that forecast is low. For the rest of the window, the setup is more interesting for a kite than a paddle, with onshore winds and choppy conditions dominating.
This is just one of those stretches where the ocean doesn’t want to play ball. It won’t stay poor forever, but for now, save your energy.
Rusty.
