The Lowdown
Right, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the Rade de Croisic over the next couple of weeks.
Straight off the bat, I gotta be honest with ya – it’s a grim start. The first week and a half is basically a write-off. We’re looking at tiny, weak waves with poor surf conditions almost every day. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the combined energy is weak, often well under 100 (21 to 69). You’ll be staring at a flat, choppy mess. There’s a small window around the 6th of September where the wind goes offshore, but the swell is still only 1ft to 2ft with a short period – it’s barely a ripple. Not worth paddling out for.
The real story is a pocket of hope right at the end of the forecast. On Wednesday, 16th September, things finally look like they might line up. The morning shows a promising 3ft swell from the west, with a nice long period of 12 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell. The wind is light and cross-offshore from the ENE, and the combined energy jumps to a moderate 276. The notes say to expect good surf. This is your standout. The Rade de Croisic is a fairly consistent spot, and with the swell direction coming from the W, matching the optimum SW, it should start to wrap in. The long period means it won’t be a mushy crumble, but be aware that a 12-second swell can be a bit straight at beach breaks; this spot being a bay might handle it okay. It’s a bit of a wait, but this Wednesday morning is the one to circle on the calendar.
After that, the swell drops back off into the puny zone again. So, a long dry spell, then one morning that might just deliver.
Rusty.
