The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for our local stretch.

Rade de Croisic is a pretty exposed spot, and it’s the only break on the cards for the next 16 days, but if I’m being honest, the outlook is a long, drawn-out struggle. The water temperature is sitting right around average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

We start off with a real flat spell. Friday the 24th and Saturday the 25th are basically a write-off with tiny, weak swell and poor conditions. Sunday the 26th is a complete washout with strong onshore winds. This first gap of no real surf stretches from now until Monday morning the 27th.

Monday the 27th morning is the first time we see a glimmer of hope. The swell is a tiny 0.8 ft from the west, with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is weak (76), but the wind is glassy. That’s an absolute treat. It’s surfable but very ordinary – not a standout, just a chance to get wet if you’re desperate. The rest of that day and the following days are back to small, messy, and onshore.

There’s a bit of a pulse building as we head into the start of August. By Saturday the 1st of August, the morning swell is 3 ft from the west, and the energy jumps to moderate (239), but it’s cross-onshore, so it’s going to be choppy. The afternoon sees the swell pick up to 4 ft from the west, energy at 390, but still onshore wind. It’s looking more like a day for the kites than a clean paddle session.

Moving into the second week, Sunday the 2nd of August morning is the best of a poor bunch. The swell is 3 ft from the west-southwest, with a clean cross-offshore breeze from the north-northeast. The energy is moderate (151). It’s surfable, but still just ordinary. Later that afternoon, wind shifts and it gets choppy again.

Monday the 3rd of August sees a bigger swell, 7 ft from the southwest at 7 seconds, but that’s short period and onshore winds will make it a messy, blown-out washout. That’s expert-only territory due to the size and poor quality. Tuesday the 4th of August is still solid at 5 ft, but the wind is either cross or onshore, keeping it marginal.

The final days of the forecast from the 5th to the 8th of August drop back down to small, onshore slop. Nothing to get excited about.

The only true standout? That’s a tough one. I’d have to say the glassy spell on Monday the 27th of July morning. It’s the only window where the wind is truly clean, and for a spot that’s exposed like this, glassy conditions are gold. The swell is tiny, but it’s the best quality we’re going to see.

So, overall, it’s a long, lean run. A few windows of surfable, ordinary waves, but nothing that’s going to have you calling in sick for. Keep the board waxed for that Monday morning glass-off, and then we’ll see what the next forecast brings.
