The Lowdown
Hey folks, Rusty here. Let’s be real – we’re in for a flat spell. The 16-day window for the Rade de Croisic area is a tough one with hardly any surf to speak of. The combined swell energy stays weak, barely cracking double digits most days, and the waves just aren’t there. There’s a gap of several days right at the start with no real recommendations, and it looks like a long, quiet stretch.
Looking at the first week, from Monday 20 July right through to Sunday 27 July, the swell is tiny. You’re looking at 0.3ft to 2ft at best, with periods that are all over the place – from a short 3 seconds up to 12 seconds. The winds are mostly cross-off or cross-on, which would normally be okay, but there’s nothing to ride. The energy is low, numbers like 1, 6, 10, up to 36 are all weak. Water temp is about average for the time of year, so nothing wild there.
The second week, from Monday 28 July into early August, doesn’t get any better. Swell heights stay under 2ft, and though the combined energy picks up a little – hitting 45 on Wednesday 29 July morning and 47 that afternoon – those are still in the weak range, and the wave comment is still “poor surf conditions.” The period on the 29th morning is 11 seconds, which is decent, but with only 1ft of swell, it’s a tease. Winds are cross-off on the 29th morning, which means clean conditions, but the waves are simply not there.
There is no standout day. Nothing even comes close to being worth a paddle. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, given the onshore winds and the lack of swell. The only break here is Rade de Croisic, and it’s a no-go.
For now, keep the board in the car and wait for the forecasts to change. This blank run is a bit of a bummer, but it happens.
Rusty.
