The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for the Rade de Croisic area.
Truth be told, it’s a pretty quiet stretch ahead. The first proper surfable window doesn’t kick off until Sunday morning, September 6th, but even then the conditions are just ordinary. We’re looking at a tiny 2ft leftover swell from the west, with a 10-second period – that’s weak energy (53). The wind is offshore from the ESE at 9 mph, so the surface is clean, but there’s just no power in the water. It’s a gentle paddle-around wave, not much to write home about.
The rest of the first week is a bit of a write-off, with poor surf quality and the wind swinging around to onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell stays small. There’s a moment on Tuesday afternoon, September 8th, when the wind drops to glassy from the north at 3 mph, and we get a weak 3ft west swell with a 10-second period (125 energy) – surfable but again, very ordinary.
The best on offer in this whole period is shaping up to be Monday morning, September 7th. The swell bumps up to 3ft from the west-southwest with a 15-second period, giving us a solid 316 energy – that’s a proper groundswell with long lines. The wind is onshore from the west at 9 mph, which is a shame because it’ll be a bit lumpy. Still, that long-period swell will wrap into the point and offer some shape, especially for a reef or point setup. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
From Tuesday, September 8th, through to the end of the forecast, we’re looking at a long stretch of minimal surf. The swell drops to 1ft to 2ft, with short periods of 8 to 12 seconds, and energy values mostly under 100. The wind is often offshore or cross-offshore, keeping the surface clean, but there’s just not enough swell to get excited about. Even the glassy mornings on September 10th, 12th, and 21st only offer tiny, weak waves. It’s a quiet period for the area, and this kind of flat run is more normal than unusual.
If you’re a beginner, the small clean days on Tuesday afternoon, September 8th, or Saturday morning, September 12th, might offer a chance to practice on tiny, weak waves – but it’s not really surfing.
Rusty.
