The Lowdown

Righto, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Rade de Croisic over the next sixteen days.

To be blunt, it’s a pretty quiet stretch. We’ve got some swell kicking around, but the conditions are often messy, and the ratings are mostly low. The first real chance of anything worth paddling out for doesn’t come until Tuesday the 1st of September morning. That morning you’ll find clean, waist-high waves at about 3ft from the west, with a light cross-offshore breeze from the northeast. The water temp is sitting at 66°, which is pretty average for this time of year. The combined wave energy is moderate (151), so there’s a little bit of push, but the quality is very ordinary.

After that, things drop right off. From Tuesday afternoon all the way through to Thursday the 10th of September, it’s mostly poor surf with onshore winds and small, weak swell. A few mornings offer clean, offshore winds, like Sunday the 6th of September morning with 1ft and a moderate offshore breeze, but the swell is just too small to get excited about. There’s a big gap here with no real recommendations for days on end.

Friday the 11th of September morning brings a slight lift. You’ve got 4ft of swell from the west-southwest, and a moderate cross-offshore wind from the northeast keeping it clean. The combined wave energy is moderate (202), and it’s a marginal surf day – more for the keen crew than anyone expecting waves with a bit of shape. The afternoon holds 5ft from the west with light cross-shore winds, but again, it’s just marginal.

The standout, if you can call it that, is probably Monday the 7th of September afternoon. We’ve got 4ft of swell from the west-southwest with a very long period of 12 seconds – proper groundswell. The combined wave energy is strong (432), suggesting there’s some real grunt behind it. However, the onshore wind from the west at 12 mph will mess it up for Rade de Croisic, which is a beach-and-reef setup. For the experienced surfers who know the banks, there might be a few, but for most of us, this looks more interesting for the kite crew than paddle surfing.

The rest of the second week is much the same – small, weak swell and mostly onshore or cross-onshore breezes. There are a few mornings with offshore winds, like Wednesday the 16th of September morning with 2ft from the west-southwest and a moderate offshore, but the swell is just too small to make a day of it.

Overall, it’s a tough run. The few moments with clean wind have tiny swell, and when the swell does have a bit of size, the wind is wrong. Don’t hold your breath.

Rusty.
