The Lowdown
Right, folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what the next couple of weeks are shaping up like for the Rade de Croisic.
Honestly, I'm looking at the board and it’s a bit of a tough one. The next week and a half is pretty grim. We’ve got a long stretch of onshore wind and messy, weak waves. There’s a big gap from now until the 2nd of September where there’s just nothing worth paddling out for. The water temp is sitting right around 68°, which is pretty much dead average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real chance of a half-decent wave comes on Wednesday morning, the 2nd of September. We’ve got a tiny 3ft west swell, but the wind is glassy from the northwest. That’s a major positive because it’ll be clean as a whistle. The energy is weak though, only 88, so don't expect any power. It’s a tiny, clean wave for a longboard or a foamie, but it’s better than nothing.
Thursday morning, the 3rd of September, is another small window. A 2ft west swell with a light southeast cross-offshore wind. It’ll be clean again, but it’s still small with weak energy (52). Just ordinary.
Now, look, if you can hold out, there’s a proper little blip on the horizon. On Wednesday morning, the 9th of September, we get a fresh east wind, which is properly offshore. That’s bringing a 4ft swell from the west-northwest with solid energy (371). That’s the standout of the whole run. The swell period is short at 8 seconds, so it’ll be a bit of a windswell, but with that offshore breeze it’ll be clean and lined up. It’s still a bit small for a big day, but it’s by far the best on offer. The afternoon of the 9th looks even better with a moderate offshore wind and a 4ft wave – still clean, still good.
So, the pick of the entire 16 days is the 9th of September. The wind is right, the swell is there, and the water will be clean. Get on it, because it’s a long wait for it.
Rusty.
