The Lowdown

Alright, let’s get into it. A rare bright spot late in the forecast here at Rade de Croisic, but you’ll be waiting a while for it.

We’re kicking off with a pretty grim stretch. Sunday the 30th of August into Monday the 31st is a write-off – strong cross-onshore winds and lumpy, poor surf, with weak energy readings around 228 to 847. The swell is there but it’s messy. Tuesday the 1st of September offers a glimmer: a glassy morning with a light NE breeze, 3 feet of W swell at 10 seconds, but it’s very ordinary. That’s about as good as it gets for a while.

Then we hit a long, dry gap. From Tuesday afternoon right through to Saturday the 12th of September, the surf is tiny, mostly under 2 feet, with onshore wind and very low energy figures – often below 100. It’s flat, it’s poor, and there’s nothing to get excited about. The water temperature is sitting around 67°F, which is pretty normal for the time of year, so no surprises there.

Now, here’s the standout. Sunday the 13th of September morning is the one to circle. The wind swings offshore from the ENE, giving us a clean, offshore set-up. Swell bumps up to 5 feet from the WSW, but here’s the catch – the period is only 6 seconds, so it’s short-period windswell, not a proper groundswell. The combined energy reads 289, which is moderate, but the conditions should be good. That’s the best we’ve got in the whole 16-day window.

After that, Monday the 14th and beyond drop back into the doldrums, with onshore winds and tiny, poor waves.

Honestly, if you’re a paddle surfer, this is a tough run. The energy is mostly weak, the wind is often onshore, and the swell is small. That Sunday morning window is the only real chance for a wave, and even then it’s not going to be firing. Given the size and the short period, it’s more of a beginner-friendly option. If you’re a kite surfer, the stronger winds later in the period might be more your thing.

A general guide to surfing at Rade de Croisic can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Rade de Croisic may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself.
