The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, and I’ve got a look at what’s coming up for our local stretch. Honestly, it’s a pretty bleak picture for the next couple of weeks, so I’ll call it straight.
We’re looking at Rade de Croisic. The water is sitting at 68°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year – not a bad thing if you’re in a wetsuit, but it’s about the only positive.
The surf story starts off weak. Saturday morning sees a tiny 2ft swell from the west at 10 seconds, with a light offshore breeze. It’s clean, but the energy is weak (114). It’s surfable, but just barely. That’s the best we’ve got for a while, and it’s not saying much.
From Saturday afternoon, things go downhill fast. The wind swings onshore, and the conditions turn poor. We’ve got a bit of a bump in energy on Monday with a 3ft swell from the west and a long period of 15 seconds (moderate energy at 370), but the wind is straight onshore from the west at 12 mph, turning it into a messy, blown-out mess. Not worth paddling out.
The rest of the week is a write-off. The swell stays small, the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the wave comments are all “poor surf conditions.” Thursday (10th September) morning drops to a 2ft, 7-second wind swell, with choppy cross-onshore wind. It’s a kite surfer’s setup, not a surfer’s.
We have a gap of about 5 days with absolutely nothing to recommend. The next small glimmer is on the 14th of September (Monday morning), when we get a fresh offshore breeze from the ENE at 19 mph and clean conditions, but the swell is only 1ft. It’s tiny, smooth, and pretty, but not rideable for most.
The last week of the forecast is more of the same: small, weak, and mostly cross-onshore winds. The weekend of the 20th brings a cross-offshore breeze and 2ft swell, but the period is a pathetic 4 seconds – that’s just wind chop, not real surf.
So, the bottom line: there are no standouts, no epic sessions, and no reason to get excited. The only time you might get a little surf is Saturday morning (5th September) with the 2ft clean waves, but it’s a very ordinary option. For the rest of the 16 days, the board stays on the rack. Sometimes it’s just like this – a blank run. Forecasts can change, but for now, I’d find something else to do.
