Table - best surf conditions forecast for Rade de Croisic over the next 16 days.
Alright, I’ve looked at the Rade de Croisic forecast for the next couple of weeks, and honestly, it’s a real tough one. There’s nothing in the 16-day window that I’d call a “go” for a proper surf session. The pickings are slim, and the conditions are just not on our side.
For the first few days, starting Thursday the 9th of July, we’ve got tiny swell. We’re talking about 1ft, coming from the west, but the wind is a problem. On Thursday morning, it’s a cross-offshore breeze, but the swell is so weak it’s not doing anything. The combined wave energy is only 29—that’s weak, mate. It’s clean, but there’s just nothing to ride. Friday morning the 10th looks a bit better with a light offshore wind from the east, but again, it’s only 1ft of swell. The water is sitting at 69°, which is a solid 5° warmer than usual for this time of year—that’s very unusual, but it doesn’t help the waves.
We go through the weekend and into the next week, and it’s the same story. The swell barely tickles 2ft on Monday the 13th, but the wind is a messy cross-onshore, making it choppy. The energy is weak, usually under 50. It’s just not worth paddling out for.
There’s a bit of a bump on Thursday the 16th of July, with the swell hitting 3ft, but the wind is howling onshore from the west at 15 mph, and the period is a short 5 seconds. That’s junky, onshore slop with a combined energy of 53—still moderate at best. It’s not going to be fun.
The rest of the week follows the same pattern. On Friday the 24th of July, there’s a bit of a pulse in the morning with 3ft from the west-northwest, and the energy climbs to 92, which is the highest we see. But it’s a short-period swell (6 seconds) and the wind is a cross-shore, so it’s not going to hold shape. Still, if you were absolutely desperate, that morning might be the least terrible option, but I wouldn’t call it a standout.
Honestly, this is a blank run for the area. The forecast changes, and it tends not to stay this poor for long, but right now, you’re better off keeping the boards in the car and waiting for a better window. The setup here is more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing given the onshore winds and small swell.
