The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Let's be straight up – the outlook for Rade de Croisic is pretty grim for the next 16 days. There's just nothing happening that's worth paddling out for. The whole window is a write-off for surf, so you might want to turn your eyes elsewhere or get the kite gear ready.
Looking at the water temp anomaly, it's about average for this time of year, nothing out of the ordinary.
The trouble starts right away. Saturday the 25th has tiny 1ft swell from the north with a shocking 3-second period – that's pure wind chop. The combined energy is only 6 – that's weak and doesn't even register. Sunday is similar with onshore winds ruining any chance. We go through a long, boring stretch where nothing rises above "poor surf conditions". The swell heights barely crack 4ft, and when they do, the period stays short and the winds are all wrong.
Around Tuesday the 29th, we see a tiny bit of hope with some cleaner conditions, but the swell is still too small and weak. The best-looking winds come on Friday the 31st with a light offshore from the east, but the swell is a pathetic 0.7ft with energy at 13 – you'd be floating, not surfing. The following weekend sees some glassy conditions on Sunday the 2nd of August with light S/SE winds, but again the swell is a 2ft dribbler.
Even into early August, the pattern just repeats. Small swell, poor energy readings (the highest we see is 85 on Tuesday the 4th of August, which is still weak), and nearly always with cross-onshore or onshore wind. The occasional clean window pops up, like the morning of Saturday the 1st of August with a light N/NE cross-off breeze, but you're still looking at 1ft swell. It's just not surfable.
For such a long period with no recommendations, this is a tough one. With no consistent surf on offer, it's not worth getting your hopes up. Forecasts can always change, but right now this is a big fat blank run.
Rusty.
