The Lowdown
Alright, I’ll level with you, this is Rusty. For the next 16 days at Rade de Croisic, the surf report is pretty grim. We’ve got a long stretch of hardly anything worth paddling out for, starting now.
The first few days, from Friday the 28th of August, are a total washout. Swell is tiny, like 2 to 2 feet, coming out of the west, but there’s a moderate breeze kicking up chop. Saturday the 29th actually has a bit of size – wave heights around 6 to 7 feet from the southwest – but the wind is howling onshore at 28 to 25 miles per hour. The water is all blown out, a complete mess. That’s more of a day for the kite crew than us.
Sunday and Monday stay poor with onshore winds and choppy conditions. The only half-decent chance comes on Tuesday, the 1st of September. Tuesday morning we get a 3 foot west swell, a 10-second period, and a light offshore wind from the north. It’s clean, but the waves are weak and small. The water temp is about 67°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
After that, it’s a long, boring gap. From Tuesday afternoon right through to around the 9th of September, the swell drops to 1 foot or less. The wind does go light or offshore a few times, but there’s just no energy in the water – readings are all below 40.
On Thursday the 10th of September, we get a bump up to about 4 feet from the west, but the period is short at 5 seconds, and the wind is onshore at 22 miles per hour. Total slop. By the 11th, the wind cranks up to 28 miles per hour onshore, and the swell is tiny again. That’s the end of it.
So, what’s the play? There’s no real standout. The only tiny window is Tuesday morning, the 1st of September, for a small, clean wave if you’re really keen. Otherwise, this stretch is a long, flat, windy run. We’ll have to wait for better days.
Rusty.
