The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s cooking for Rade de Croisic.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – for the next week and a half, it’s a real struggle. There’s a long, quiet gap from today through to around Monday the 23rd. And when I say quiet, I mean small, weak, and mostly onshore. We’re only talking about ankle to knee-high dribble for most of it, and the wind is just making a mess. The first few mornings, like Saturday the 14th for instance, are clean, but the swell is a pathetic 2 ft with barely any energy in the water (68). There’s nothing to get excited about.

Things stay pretty grim all the way through the week. The wind is either blowing straight onshore or it’s too light to organize the tiny 1 ft to 2 ft slop. About the only half-decent moment for a dip before the real swell shows up is Monday the 23rd morning. It’s only 2 ft, but the combined energy is still weak (58), and with a clean offshore breeze from the E, it’ll be smooth if you're just trying to get wet.

Then... hold onto your board. The big news is for Thursday the 25th. That morning shows a proper winter groundswell starting to push in – we’re looking at a 4 ft swell out of the W with a long 14-second period. The combined energy is a solid 549, finally packing some punch. But the real kicker is the conditions: glassy. Dead calm. That is the standout window. If you can get out that morning, those waves will be clean, lined-up, and worth the wait. It’s still only a moderate energy jump for the spot, but that’s the best we get.

After that, Saturday the 26th and Sunday the 27th fade back into average, clean but small.

So here’s the bottom line: The whole first half of this outlook is a write-off. Don’t waste your petrol. But that glassy Thursday morning, the 25th, is the only true stand out. Set the alarm.

Rusty.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Rade de Croisic may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself.
