The Lowdown
Alright, mates, let’s be straight with each other. For the next week and a half, the surf is basically dead. We’re talking flat, weak, and miserable. From July 28th all the way through August 10th, the swell is tiny, barely hitting 2 feet, with combined energy readings stuck in the low double digits. Honestly, it’s a good time to take a break or go for a swim.
The only real action shows up on August 11th. In the morning, we get a little bump from the WSW at about 4 feet, with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy climbs to 239 (moderate), which is at least something. The wind is light from the NW, cross-on, so it’ll be a little messy, but it’s not a total loss.
Then on Tuesday morning, August 12th, we get the best of the run. The swell pushes to about 5 feet from the WSW, period around 9 seconds, and the combined energy hits 380 (moderate). The wind is glassy early, from the WSW at just 3 mph, so it’ll be clean. That’s the standout if you’re desperate. But by the afternoon, the onshore wind jumps back to 12 mph and it’s choppy again.
The water temperature is 66°F, which is about normal for this time of year. Nothing unusual there.
The spot is Rade de Croisic. It’s fairly consistent, exposed to the swell, and it can get crowded sometimes. The optimum swell direction is SW, and the swell on the 12th is WSW, so it’s not a perfect match, but it’ll work.
Most of the 16-day window is a washout. There’s a big gap from July 28th through August 10th with nothing worth paddling for. The 11th and 12th are your best bets, but keep your expectations low. Long-range stuff can change, but for now, it’s a quiet spell.
