The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next 16 days are a pretty tough stretch for Rade de Croisic. We’ve got a long gap of poor conditions to start, before a couple of brief windows where things tidy up enough for a session. If you’re itching to get wet, you’ll need to be patient and pick your moment very carefully.
The first real chance comes on the morning of Friday the 4th of September. After a block of strong winds and messy, blown-out surf through the end of August, we finally see things ease up. A glassy, clean morning with an offshore breeze from the NW at 3 mph will do wonders. The swell is small – only 2 ft from the west – but it’s carrying a very long period of 15 seconds, so there’s proper groundswell energy in the water. The combined energy is moderate (159). This is a point break or reef sort of setup, but at Rade de Croisic you might find a few lined-up runners. Water temperature is 67°, which is about average for this time of year. It’ll be quiet too – crowds are only sometimes an issue here. Not a standout day, but for the long stretch we’ve been through, it’s the best we get.
Then on the morning of Saturday the 5th of September, we get another window. The wind has turned cross-offshore from the NNE at 6 mph, and the surf is clean. Swell is 2 ft from the west with a 12-second period. The energy is still moderate (143). Not big, not powerful, but if you’re after a longboard or a fun log, there’s enough shape to make it enjoyable. It’s a similar story to Friday, maybe a touch more size.
After that, we’re back into a run of poor surf – small, weak, and often choppy, with onshore winds taking over. There’s a few days from the 6th through to the 12th where the swell drops right off and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, with combined energy mostly under 30. Not worth paddling out for.
The highlight of the whole forecast, if you can call it that, is Friday the 4th morning – glassy, clean, and with a long-period groundswell. It’s not a day for big waves, but it’s the only time the conditions come together. For the rest? Keep the board in the car and wait for the next forecast update.
Rusty.
