Alright, I’ll be straight with you. This is gonna be a brutal stretch for surf in the Rade de Croisic. Honestly, I can’t recommend a single day for a proper paddle session over the next 16 days. The forecast is a long, frustrating run of tiny, weak waves and messy wind. You’re looking at a blank period from now right through until Monday, July 20th, with pretty much nothing worth getting wet for.
Let’s break down the whole run. Sunday morning July 5th kicks off with a tiny 2ft W swell, but the wind is cross-off from the NNE at 6 mph, so it’s clean. The combined energy is a weak 46. Still, the conditions are just "poor surf." That theme sticks all week. Monday July 6th and Tuesday July 7th bring tiny 1ft to 1ft swells from the W, with periods around 9 seconds. The odd offshore breeze (from the ESE or E at 6-9 mph) will clean it up, but there’s just no push. Water temp is a very warm 68°F, with a 4°F anomaly—much warmer than usual for this time of year—but that’s the only highlight.
As we move deeper into the week, things get windier and worse. The swell barely nudges up to 2ft by Friday July 10th and Saturday July 11th, but onshore winds from the W and SSW are making a mess, with periods dropping to 8 seconds. Energy stays weak, maxing out at 53 on Saturday afternoon. Sunday July 12th isn’t any better; fresh onshore wind at 22 mph will just trash the 2ft swell. Honestly, with that kind of wind and small, poor-quality surf, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The second week offers no hope. From Monday July 13th through to the end on Monday July 20th, the waves stay below 2ft. Periods are all short, between 4 and 12 seconds, but the energy is pathetic—mostly in the teens and single digits. There’s a morning on July 14th with a 0.6ft swell and a 12-second period, but cross-off wind from the NNE at 9 mph is the only clean moment in a sea of nothing. The final morning, Monday July 20th, sums it up: a 0.6ft swell with 7-second period and energy of just 4. Glassy and clean from a light NNE breeze, but you could barely float a leaf on it.
There are no standouts. Nothing’s breaking well. For a spot like Rade de Croisic, this sort of dry run is just part of the deal sometimes. Keep the board waxed and wait for the next forecast change.
Stay tuned,
