The Lowdown
Alright, let me tell you how it’s looking for the Rade de Croisic region. The coming weeks are a bit of a mixed bag, but there are a few windows where it might just come together.
Overall, we’ve got a long stretch of small to tiny swell with some tricky wind patterns. The first week or so is pretty quiet with mostly poor surf conditions. The real standout arrives later, but it’s a patient game.
Looking at the first real chance, Saturday the 19th of September morning at Rade de Croisic is about the best we’ve got for a while. We’re looking at clean, glassy conditions with a light breeze from the south at 0 mph, so the surface will be smooth. The swell is small, coming in at 2 ft from the west with a 12-second period, giving us moderate wave energy (148). It’s not going to be big, but for a spot that’s been flat, it’s a chance to get wet without the wind messing it up. Keep in mind the water is a touch warmer than normal at 68°F, which is notable for this time of year.
After that, we drop back into small surf again. The next little glimmer is Monday the 21st of September morning with an offshore breeze from the east-northeast at 12 mph. The swell is still tiny at 2 ft from the west, period of 14 seconds – that’s a long period groundswell, but with such small size, it’s not going to offer much power. Still, the clean conditions are a plus.
The best-looking window, and the one I’d keep an eye on, is Saturday the 26th of September morning. We’ve got a gentle offshore breeze from the east-northeast at 9 mph, giving us clean, lined-up waves. Swell is 2 ft from the west with an 11-second period and combined energy of 59 – it’s weak, but with offshore winds and a favourable direction, it’s the most promising session in the whole run. It’s small, but if you’re keen for a longboard or a foamie, this is the pick.
Sunday the 27th of September morning also shows clean conditions with a cross-offshore breeze, but the swell is down to 1.0 ft. Not much to write home about.
There are long gaps of several days with no real recommendations, especially from the start of the period through to the 19th, and then again after the 26th. It’s a quiet spell for the region, so don’t expect much.
