Alright, this is Rusty.
Look, I’ve been staring at the charts for Rade de Croisic and, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch. We’re looking at a solid 16-day window, but honestly, there are zero standout sessions. The first real chance at a wave doesn't even pop up until the morning of Friday, July 3rd, and even then, it’s a struggle.
The water is currently sitting at 70°F, which is a whopping 6° warmer than usual. That’s wild for this time of year, like swimming in a bath, but the surf just isn't matching the warmth.
Friday afternoon kicks things off with a clean 3ft swell from the west, with a 10-second period. The combined energy is moderate at 164, but the wind is howling onshore from the WNW at 19 mph. It’s gonna be a blown-out mess. For a break like Rade de Croisic that's exposed to the swell, that's not the combo we want. This is one for the kite surfers, not for paddle surfing.
We go into a long, frustrating stretch from there. The best bet will be the mornings. Saturday, July 4th, the wind goes light NNE at 6 mph, which is cross-offshore. But the swell drops to just 2ft and the energy is weak at 76. You might find a knee-high ripple, but it’s not gonna get the heart pumping.
Then from Sunday, July 5th all the way through to July 17th, it’s a desert. Wave heights hover between 0.7ft and 1ft with weak energy barely cracking triple digits. The mornings do offer clean conditions, like on Monday the 6th with a gentle offshore from the east, but with a 1.0ft swell, you’re basically looking at a flat lake.
There’s finally a pulse of energy on Saturday, July 18th. The swell picks up to 3ft from the WNW, with the energy jumping to moderate at 107. But the period is a short, weak 6 seconds. That’s just windswell. The morning winds from the NNW are light, so you might get a few crumbly close-outs, but don’t get excited. It’s a long way out, and with this pattern, it’s about as likely to stay messy as clean.
To be honest, for the entire 16 days, there isn't a single session I’d mark as "go." Rade de Croisic just isn't getting the juice, and when it does, the wind is always in the wrong spot. Keep the board waxed and wait for the next system.
Rusty.
