The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for the Rade de Croisic over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough run. The whole 16-day window is looking pretty flat and messy. There’s no real surf to speak of for the first week, and the second week doesn't look much better. We're looking at a long stretch of small, weak, and mostly onshore wind affected conditions. It’s gonna be a grind.

The first flicker of something happens on Tuesday morning, the 4th of August, but it’s a no-go. We’ve got a 2 ft west swell with a short 8-second period, and a cross-on 12 mph SW wind. The combined energy is a weak 35, and it’s just choppy and poor. The afternoon picks up a little to 3 ft, but the period drops to 7 seconds and the wind picks up to 16 mph. It’s a mess.

The pattern just repeats. Wednesday the 5th, we’ve got 3 ft, but it’s onshore wind and the period is 7 seconds. The energy readings are all under 100, and the commentary is "poor surf conditions" for every single entry. The wind is just relentless from the west or southwest.

We get a little break from the wind on Friday morning the 7th, with a light NE breeze giving us a clean look, but the swell is a pathetic 0.7 ft with a 10-second period. The energy is only 10. There’s just nothing to work with. Saturday morning the 8th sees a 0.7 ft west swell with an offshore 9 mph ENE wind, but it’s so small it’s basically flat. The energy is a measly 4.

The whole first week is the same story: tiny surf, and when the wind is good, there’s no swell. When there’s a bit of size, the wind is onshore. The water temp is sitting at 68°, which is about 1° warmer than average for this time of year – nothing unusual, just a normal summer reading.

The second week is a repeat. Monday the 10th, Tuesday the 11th, Wednesday the 12th, Thursday the 13th… it’s all the same. The swell barely scrapes 2 ft, the energy stays low, and the wind is mostly cross-on or onshore. There’s no real standout at all. On Wednesday the 19th, the afternoon sees a jump in energy to 154 with a 3 ft swell and a 9-second period, but the wind is a strong 25 mph onshore. That’s not for surfing, that’s kite territory.

Honestly, if you’re looking to paddle, you’re better off taking a break. The forecast is grim. There are no good options here. It’s a blank run, but for this area, that’s not totally unusual. Forecasts can change, but right now, there’s nothing to get excited about.

Rusty.

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.
