The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, this time in feet and miles. Let's break down the Rade de Croisic outlook.
Right off the bat, Sunday the 13th morning is tiny – about 2ft of west swell, but the wind is glassy, so it's flat and clean. Water's about 68°, which is a touch warmer than usual. The energy is weak at 87. Surfable but nothing to write home about. Afternoon goes onshore, so forget it.
Monday the 14th morning is your early call. Still only 2ft of west swell, but we get a clean offshore breeze from the ENE. It's light, it's clean, but the energy's still low at 68. The afternoon goes onshore again, so no dice.
Tuesday the 15th and Wednesday the 16th are poor – small, choppy, cross-onshore winds. Thursday the 17th has a bit more size – 3ft to 4ft of west swell – but the wind's onshore and the period's short, so it's messy.
Friday the 18th morning brings a long-period 2ft west swell at 17 seconds, but the wind's cross-onshore, so it's choppy. The energy is 368, so there's power, but the wind spoils it. Friday afternoon gets blown out with onshore winds and a 4ft swell, energy jumping to 728 – that's strong, but onshore.
Saturday the 19th is more of the same – onshore winds, small to moderate swell, not clean.
The standout is Monday the 21st of September morning. We get a 2ft west swell with a 15-second period – proper groundswell. The wind is a light NNE cross-offshore, so the conditions will be clean. The energy is 205, moderate. For this spot, that's your best window. The long period will favour the points and reefs. It's inconsistent, but when the sets come, they'll have shape. Crowds are sometimes, so expect a few heads.
After that, the swell drops right off. From Tuesday the 22nd through to the 28th, we're looking at tiny waves – less than 1ft – with clean offshore winds at times, but just not enough swell. The energy is in the single digits or low teens. Flat.
So, the first week is poor, the best chance is Monday the 21st morning, and then it goes flat. Second week's a no-go.
Rusty.
