The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, switching to feet and miles.
For the next sixteen days, Rade de Croisic is looking flat as a pancake. There’s no real surf to get excited about, so you’re looking at a long dry spell. The whole run is basically one big gap with nothing worth paddling for.
Water temp is about 66°, which is normal for this time of year, nothing unusual.
The first few days, from Thursday the 30th of July through Saturday the 1st of August, we’ve got tiny leftovers. Thursday morning shows a weak 1-foot swell from the west with a period of 10 seconds, but the wind is a cross-onshore from the northwest at 9 mph, making things choppy. Wave energy is low. Thursday afternoon gets worse: 2-foot swell but a period of only 3 seconds and onshore wind at 19 mph. That’s junk.
Friday the 31st of July is no better. Morning has less than 1 foot from the west, 9-second period, cross-onshore wind. Afternoon bumps to 2 feet from the west-northwest but with a 4-second period and onshore breeze – hopeless.
Saturday the 1st of August morning could be clean with a north-easterly cross-offshore at 9 mph, but the swell is still only 1 feet from the west, 10-second period. It’s clean but flat. The whole first week stays in that range: tiny swell, poor quality, onshore or cross-onshore winds. Nothing breaks 3 feet, and that one on the 8th of August afternoon is a 3-foot west-southwest windswell with a period of just 4 seconds – not surfable.
The second week, from the 7th of August onward, is even weaker. Most days show less than 1 foot. There are a few clean windows – like the morning of the 7th with a cross-offshore easterly wind, or the 12th of August morning with a clean offshore from the east-northeast at 16 mph – but the swell is tiny and lacks any punch. Wave energy is very weak everywhere.
There’s simply no standout day. For a spot that likes a SW swell, none of the westerly or west-southwest swells line up with decent wind. Crowds are sometimes here, but with no surf, you’ll have the place to yourself.
If you’re keen to get wet, this looks more interesting for a kite session than a paddle, given the onshore winds and small chop. For surf, it’s a long blank run through to the 14th of August – but forecasts can change.
Stay patient.
Rusty.
