The Lowdown

Alright folks, it’s your local surf reporter Rusty here, and I’ve got to be straight with you – the outlook for Rade de Croisic over the next 16 days is a real tough one.

Honestly, looking at the whole window, there’s not a single time I’d recommend paddling out. The combined energy of all swells directed here is just tiny, often sitting at single digits (10, 9, 8, 6, 2, 1) and only occasionally bumping into the teens or twenties. The swell heights are mostly a sad 0.7 ft to 1.0 ft, and even the biggest pulse we see, on Saturday 25th July, only hits 4 ft. That might sound like something, but it’s a short-period windswell (5 seconds) coming from the NNW, with a fresh 22 mph onshore wind from the WNW. That’s a choppy, blown-out mess, not surfable waves. The combined energy there is only 88 (moderate at best), and it’s still labeled “poor surf conditions.” The water is a touch warmer than normal at 68°, but that’s about the only bright spot.

There’s a long gap of nothing worthwhile. The first record is for Tuesday 21st July afternoon, but with 0.7 ft and a cross-off wind, it’s just not doing anything. The pattern stays flat and weak right through the end of the month. Thursday 30th July morning has a little offshore wind from the S, but the swell is still just 0.7 ft, and the energy is 15. That’s not enough to push a floater.

As we move into the first week of August, it’s more of the same. The swell tries to push a little on Wednesday 5th August, with 2 ft from the W and a period of 7 seconds, but the wind is a fresh 19 mph cross-on from the SW, making it lumpy and messy. The combined energy only reaches 50. It’s still “poor surf conditions.”

This area is a beach setup, and with these tiny, short-period swells and onshore winds, quite honestly, it looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The forecast can change, but as it stands, this is a blank run. We’ve got a full 16 days with no real hope. Keep the board in the car, but don’t hold your breath.

Rusty.
