The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the Rade de Croisic over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, this is a tough outlook. The whole 16-day window is basically a write-off for any kind of quality surf. We've got a lot of days with poor surf conditions, and the odd moment where it’s just barely surfable. There’s a long, frustrating stretch of flat, choppy, or blown-out junk with nothing to get excited about.
For the few days from September 7th through to the 16th, the swell is there, but the wind is just relentless. We see some moderate wave energy (364) on the 7th with a 3ft swell from the West, but it’s blown out by a cross-on shore. That same pattern sticks around for days – size comes and goes, hitting 6ft on the 8th (energy 649), but it's messy with a strong cross-on breeze. It's just not worth paddling out for that.
You get a brief break on the morning of the 10th with clean conditions and offshore wind, but the swell is tiny at 2ft. It’s a tease. A bit of glass on the 11th morning, but again, only 1.0ft.
We scrape into something on September 17th. The Thursday morning shows a 2ft swell from the WNW, with clean conditions and a cross-off breeze. The energy is moderate (104), and it’s the only morning in the entire run that gets a score above zero. The description says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions," so it's not going to be a day to remember, but it’s the only one on the board.
After that, it drops right back off into tiny, wind-affected slop. The water temp on the 7th is 69°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won't be freezing while you sit there waiting for a wave that never comes.
Honestly, if you’re trying for a paddle, save your energy. The setup with the constant wind and small, poor-quality swell looks a lot more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing right now.
Rusty.
