The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s happening in the Rade de Croisic over the next couple of weeks.
First thing you’ll notice – the water is weirdly warm. We’re talking 71°F with a 5°F anomaly above normal, so it’s way toastier than usual for this time of year. That’s a real head-scratcher.
Now for the surf… honestly, there’s almost nothing to get excited about. The entire 16-day window is a desert. From today (Sunday 19 July) right through to Monday 27 July, we’ve got basically zero surf – heights barely 0.7ft, periods all over the place, and winds mostly cross-off or onshore. It’s a flat spell, no two ways about it.
The only glimmer comes on Tuesday 28 July. Morning shows a 4ft swell from the WSW, period 10 seconds, with a light cross-shore breeze. Combined energy is 231 – moderate, but nothing to write home about. The afternoon picks up to 5ft, but that’s with onshore wind and a score of zero. The morning is marked as “marginal” – maybe worth a look if you’re desperate, but honestly, it’s not going to be pretty. After that, Tuesday 29 July onward drops back to tiny 1.0–2ft slop. Even Friday 31 July has a brief offshore wind (E 16 mph), but the swell is only 1ft – not enough to push a leaf.
Look, this is a spot that’s fairly consistent in general, but this run is a total dud. The setup is exposed to SW swell, and we’re just not getting any size or direction that works. Crowds are sometimes a thing here, but that won’t matter because nobody’s paddling out. If you’re a kite surfer, the afternoon on 27 July and 28 July might have enough wind and chop to play with, but for paddle surfing, it’s a hard no.
So save your energy, wait for the next pattern. Forecasts can change, but right now this one’s a bummer.
