The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about this stretch for the Rade de Croisic. I’ll be honest, it’s a lean run.
We start on Monday, July 13th, and for the next two weeks, there’s next to nothing. The water is sitting at a very unusual 71°, which is way warmer than average for this time of year, but that’s the only thrill.
For the first week and a half, from the 13th right up to the morning of Saturday, July 25th, it’s a total bust. The swell is tiny, often under 2ft, with short-period, weak windswell. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-on, keeping things choppy and messy. We get a clean, offshore breeze on the morning of Saturday, July 18th, and again on Sunday the 19th and Monday the 20th, but the swell is only 0.7ft. It’s a tease.
We finally get a pulse on Sunday, July 26th. The morning of the 26th shows a bump with a 3ft swell from the west. The period is a decent 11 seconds, and the wind is glassy. That’s your window for a clean, if small, session. Keep expectations low, but it’s the best we’ve seen.
The next morning, Tuesday, July 28th, is the real standout. The swell builds to 4ft from the west, and the wind is glassy again. The period is a punchy 8 seconds. This will be the best of the lot. The afternoon looks to get blown out, so hit the dawn patrol.
So, we’ve got a dead run for the first 13 days, with very little on offer until the 26th. Your best bet is the morning of the 28th. It’s not a day for beginners as the 4ft swell is a bit punchy, but for anyone else, it’s the one to go for.
Stay patient.
Rusty.
