The Lowdown
Alright, I’m looking at the Rade de Croisic for the next couple of weeks. To be honest, it’s pretty grim. The guidance gave it a fairly consistent rating, but the swell is just not cooperating. The water temperature is sitting at 68°F right now, which is about 1°F warmer than average for this time of year – nothing weird, just a touch on the mild side.
The whole 16-day window is a write-off for decent surf. There is a massive gap with no real action until the 5th of September. From 27 August through to 4 September, every single session is rated as poor surf conditions. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell is tiny and weak. There's a brief moment on the 5th of September Saturday morning – we get glassy conditions with a 2ft swell from the west, period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is only 61 (weak), so it’s surfable but very ordinary. Then on the 6th of September Sunday morning, it’s glassy again with 3ft from the west, period 10 seconds, and energy at 123 (moderate). Still, nothing to get excited about.
The only real standout – if you can call it that – is the 9th of September Wednesday afternoon. The swell jumps to 8ft from the west with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy hits 922 (strong). But that short period (7 seconds) means it’s going to be a bit of a washing machine. It’s marginal at best, and with that size, it’s only for the experts. The wind is a light cross-onshore, so it’s not totally blown out, but it’s not clean either.
Short version: if you’re desperate, the 5th and 6th of September mornings offer the cleanest conditions with tiny waves. The 9th of September has the most size but it’s messy and short-period. Honestly, with all that cross-onshore wind and the poor quality, this setup might be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a waiting game.
