The Lowdown
Alright, let me break this down for you. The locals call this place Rade de Croisic, and it sits exposed to the SW, which is the sweet spot direction.
Truth be told, the next week and a half is a bit of a flat spell. You’re looking at a lot of very ordinary small waves with the wind messing things up. It’s not until Sunday the 20th that we see a real pulse of juice.
The standout window is that Sunday morning of the 20th. We’ll see a clean 3ft swell coming from the WSW, with an incredibly long period of 18 seconds. That’s proper groundswell energy, and with combined energy values hitting 678, it’s got some real punch behind it. The wind is a light offshore from the ENE, keeping the surface glassy. This is easily the best session of the whole 16-day outlook. For those who know, that kind of long period will wrap nicely into the bay, though at a beach/reef mix it might wall up a bit. You can expect some crowds here because the word is out on those conditions.
Following that, Monday the 21st morning holds a smaller but decent 4ft from the west with 9-second period and clean offshore winds again (ENE 6 mph). A solid secondary option, with energy in the 348 range.
Before that, and after that Monday afternoon, it’s mostly small, onshore, or weak. The Thursday 17th brings strong NNW winds hitting 25 mph and cross-on, making it a mess. The end stretch from the 23rd onward sees fresh offshore winds, but the swell is just tiny—1ft to 2ft—so even with clean conditions, there’s nothing to ride.
For the first week, your best chance is Saturday the 12th morning. It’s only 2ft, but glassy conditions with WNW wind under 3 mph. Small and ordinary, but at least it’s clean. The 14th and 15th offer similar tiny clean windows but nothing to write home about.
Keep an eye on that Sunday the 20th. That’s the one.
