The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a long, hard look at what the Atlantic's got for us around Rade de Croisic. I gotta be straight with you—this ain't a week for the scrapbook. We're staring down a long, flat run with a few little pulses of energy that just can't get their act together. It's a bit of a cruel summer, to be honest.

Overall Pattern

For the next two weeks, we're looking at a whole lot of nothing, broken up by a brief, snappy window of size that gets ruined by heavy wind. The water temp is sitting at 67°F, which is pretty much spot-on average for this time of year, so at least the rubber isn't absolutely necessary, but you'll want a spring suit.

The Forecast in Detail

We kick off on Thursday the 3rd with nothing. Friday the 4th? Nothing. The first faint glimmer shows up on Saturday the 5th. We've got a clean little 2ft, 10-second West swell pushing through in the morning, with a light ENE wind blowing cross-offshore. The combined energy is weak, only (119), and honestly, it's just "surfable." You could maybe slide out on a log for a few soft ones, but it's a bare-minimum kind of session. That afternoon, it turns onshore and gets messy.

Sunday the 6th is a tease. The morning has a nice ESE offshore wind, but the swell drops to a pathetic 1ft (33). Clean, but tiny. Afternoon gets onshore and lumpy again.

Now, here's where it gets interesting, but not for us paddle surfers. Monday the 7th sees a jump in size. By the afternoon, we've got a 5ft swell from the WSW with a chunky 12-second period and the combined energy is pumping at (1211). That's a powerful swell. Problem is, there's a strong 19 mph onshore wind. For a spot like Rade de Croisic, that's going to be a washed-out, windy mess. Honestly, with that much wind and that much swell, this setup looks way more exciting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Tuesday the 8th keeps that size—5ft in the morning (414)—but the wind is cross-onshore at 12 mph, so it's choppy and ugly. Not a stand-out for us.

After that, the plug gets pulled. From Wednesday the 9th all the way through to the 18th, we're looking at a solid, extended run of very poor conditions. The swell drops to under 2ft, and while we get some nice clean, cross-off and offshore winds in there from the ENE and NE on the 12th, 13th, 14th, 15th, and even a dead-calm morning on the 16th, there's just no water to surf. It's a flat spell that goes for over a week.

The One Pick (and it's a stretch)

If you are absolutely jonesing and have a longboard, your best bet is the Saturday the 5th morning session. It's your only window for clean waves, even if they are small and weak. But don't kid yourself—this is a consolation prize.

That's the reality of it this time. A few days of nearly-there and then a whole lot of flat. It doesn't stay poor forever, and the forecast can change, but for now, leave the boards in the car and go for a walk.

Rusty.
