The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty. Let’s look at what’s on offer.
Alright, straight up – it’s a quiet stretch ahead for the Rade de Croisic. The water temp is sitting at 68°F, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The whole 16-day window is a tough one. There’s a long gap of no real surf until Thursday, August 13th. Before that, it’s all tiny windswell with onshore slop and hardly any energy – the combined energy barely cracks 20 or 30 (weak), and the swell heights are a pathetic 1ft to 3ft with short periods under 8 seconds. Not worth paddling out for.
Even when we get to Thursday, August 13th morning, it’s only just surfable. A small 2ft swell from the west, period of 8 seconds, combined energy of 50 (still weak). The wind is a light cross-off from the NE, so the surface will be clean. But honestly, it’s ordinary – barely a wave to ride. It’s more of a chance to get wet than anything else.
The rest of the forecast after that stays weak and messy. Winds turn onshore again, swell stays tiny, and the energy never gets above 86 (weak) on the afternoon of August 14th, but that’s with a fresh cross-onshore making it lumpy. Not your day.
So, the standout? There isn’t one. The best you’ll get is that Thursday morning, and only if you’re desperate. For a place that’s exposed to SW swell, this is a lean run. It’s just one of those spells where the ocean is taking a breather. Keep an eye on the longer-range forecasts – things can change.
Rusty.
