The Lowdown

Hey, Rusty here. Checkin' in on the Rade de Croisic for the next couple weeks. Honestly, it’s a pretty grim run for most of it, with a big empty stretch at the front.

Not much to get excited about until Thursday the 23rd of July, which is more than a week out. Before that, it’s all tiny, weak, blown-out dribble. Tuesday the 14th kicks off with a sickly 1ft WSW swell at 6 seconds, cross-on wind, and the water’s at 71°, which is way warmer than normal for July. It’s poor. Wednesday and Thursday stay anemic, barely reaching 2ft with onshore junk. Friday the 17th bumps a little to 3ft but with a 5-second period and onshore wind – just ugly.

Saturday the 18th morning goes clean with a light offshore ENE breeze at 9 mph, but the swell is only 0.7ft. Glassy but empty. Sunday the 19th morning turns dead calm with a 3 mph NNW breeze, but again only 0.7ft of west swell. Pretty, but not surfable.

Thursday the 23rd of July is the one to circle. That morning we get a sudden jump to a 7ft SW swell at 7 seconds, with strong combined energy (423) and a clean offshore wind from the NE at 12 mph. This is the standout – good size, clean wind, and the SW direction fits the spot. At 7ft, it’s too much for beginners and best left to the experienced crew. The break is fairly consistent, but you’ll have company; crowds are sometimes a thing here.

Friday the 24th drops off sharp with cross-shore and onshore wind messing things up. Saturday the 25th goes back to tiny, choppy junk. Sunday the 26th brings a long-period 12-second west swell at 2ft in the morning, but cross-on wind and moderate energy (93) – sloppy. By afternoon, onshore wind hits 28 mph and energy jumps to 115, but that’s kite territory, not paddle.

The final few days into the 27th–29th of July see some 3ft to 6ft swells come through, but every time the wind is cross-on or onshore, and it’s all rated poor. The energy climbs into the 200–300 range (moderate), but without clean wind it’s just bumpy and blown.

So, bottom line: Thursday the 23rd morning is your best bet, but expect a crowd and solid power. The rest of the 16 days? Not much to write home about. Forecasts can always change, but right now, it’s a lean run.

Rusty.

Information about the Rade de Croisic Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Rade de Croisic provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Rade de Croisic can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

If you surf the same spot (Rade de Croisic) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
