The Lowdown

Hey, Rusty here. Let me level with you: the next couple of weeks are looking pretty bleak for most of us. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak surf and a lot of onshore wind. There are a few small windows where it might clean up, but we’re mainly talking about ankle-biters. The standout is a brief, glassy morning on Monday the 10th, but don’t get too hyped. Hold on, let’s walk through it.

The pattern kicks off with nothing to ride. From Saturday the 1st through the 9th, it’s all poor. Swell heights are mostly under 3ft, with periods around 6-8 seconds, which is just weak, short-period windslop. The energy readings are low, often in the 14 to 69 range, which tells you there’s nothing behind it. Winds are mostly onshore or cross-onshore, so it’s messy. There’s a tiny bump on the 9th – about 4ft – but it’s coming with strong onshore winds and a cross-onshore chop, so it’s not worth the paddle. That stretch of nothing is about nine days. It’s a long, flat spell.

Now, the one moment that catches the eye is Monday the 10th. The early morning shows a glassy calm – zero wind – and the swell is down to 2ft from the west with a period of 7 seconds. The energy is only 58, so it’s not powerful, but it will be clean. The comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” which is the best we get in this whole window. The water temp is 68°, which is about 2° warmer than usual for this time of year – noticeable, but not crazy. You might get a few soft, crumbly waves at the Rade de Croisic, but it’s more about the lack of wind than the power of the swell. For a beginner, that’s a fun session. For anyone wanting a real wave, it’s a struggle.

After that, it’s back to the grind. From the 11th through the 16th, it’s mostly small again, with onshore winds picking up. There’s a tiny bit of swell on the 12th – 2ft – but it’s cross-shore and light, so not great. The rest of the week is a mix of onshores and weak, short-period swells. The second week is just more of the same, so I’ll keep it short: there’s nothing worth planning around.

So, if you’re desperate, Monday morning the 10th is your only real window. It’s not going to be epic, but it’ll be clean. Otherwise, this looks like a washout. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d find something else to do.

Rusty, out.
