The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break down what’s happening at the Rade de Croisic.
Honestly, for the next week and a half, it’s looking pretty bleak. The whole 16-day window is a long stretch of nothing worth paddling out for with only one real standout day right at the very end. For the most part, you’re looking at some decent size swell but the wind absolutely ruins any chance of clean waves. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing unusual.
The first big stretch runs from Saturday, August 29th right through to the end of the first week of September—a good solid 8 to 9 days of flat, messy, or blown-out conditions. Winds are howling from the southwest and west, mostly strong onshore or side-onshore, making a proper mess of things. The swell is there, but the quality is zero. It’s not until Wednesday morning, September 9th that we finally get a real window of opportunity.
That Wednesday morning is the standout for the entire forecast. The winds go light offshore out of the east-northeast, which means clean, glassy conditions. You’ll have a 5ft swell coming from the west, with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy sits at 346 (moderate wave energy). It’s not huge, but with that offshore wind, it’ll offer up clean, rideable lines. It’s the only real chance to score a wave in this whole period.
After that, the wind swings back around and the surf quality plummets into the second week. The 10th through the 13th of September sees everything from cross-shore chop to near gale-force winds blowing the surfaces into a white mess. Just stay home.
To sum it up: Lock in on Wednesday morning, September 9th. That’s your one shot. Get out there early.
