The Lowdown

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for this stretch. We’re looking at a pretty quiet run for the most part – a lot of small, weak swell, and honestly, not much to get excited about for a solid week or more. The first few days are a write-off: tiny waves, often onshore wind, and the score is just not there. From Wednesday the 15th through Friday the 25th of July, the swell is mostly under 3 ft, and it’s often lumpy or choppy. There’s a real gap there with no real recommendations – a long stretch of flat or very ordinary conditions.

The only time things start to lift is around Saturday the 26th of July, but even then, it’s more of a "maybe" than a "go". The first half of the 16-day window is a real struggle.

Now, the one spot that has anything going for it in this whole period is Rade de Croisic. This place is fairly consistent, but it’s definitely not a standout. The only real sniff of a decent wave comes on the morning of Saturday the 26th of July. The swell is from the W pushing 3 ft, with a short period of 5 seconds – so it’s weak, windswell stuff. The combined energy is only 84 (weak). But the wind is a light NE at 3 mph, which is a cross-offshore breeze, and the conditions are clean. That’s a rare window here. The water temp is about average for the time of year.

For the rest of the time, this spot is mostly plagued by moderate to fresh onshore winds, especially from the W and SW, making it choppy and messy. The swell direction is generally from the W or WSW, which is its optimum swell direction, but the size is pitiful – mostly 0.7 ft to 3 ft. The combined energy is weak, often in the single digits or low tens. It’s just not doing much.

The last few days of the month, around the 28th and 29th of July, the swell picks up a bit – 5 ft to 5 ft – but the wind is still cross-onshore, and the conditions are poor. The energy climbs to a moderate 617 (strong) on the 28th, but it’s all blown out. The 29th has a little more energy (263) but it’s still marginal. This is more of a kite-surf setup than a good paddle surf session, to be honest.

So, the only real highlight is that Saturday morning, the 26th of July, at Rade de Croisic. It’s small, clean, and you’ll have the place to yourself. If you’re desperate, that’s your window. Otherwise, it’s a long wait. The crowds are "sometimes" here, so on a clean morning, you might see a few others, but it won’t be packed.

Stay patient, folks. The forecast can always change.

Rusty.
