The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee and settle in, because I’m looking at the Rade de Croisic forecast and it’s pretty grim. Honestly, for the first week and a half, there’s just nothing to get excited about. We’re looking at a long, dry spell of flat, messy, or blown-out conditions. The first real day that even gets a sniff of a rideable wave is the morning of Friday, August 7th, and even then, it’s just “surfable” – not what I’d call a proper session.
Let’s break it down. For the whole run from Tuesday, July 28th, all the way through to Thursday, August 7th, the surf is consistently rated as poor. We’re talking tiny little 1 to 2-foot slop, with onshore winds or cross-shore chop ruining any chance of a clean face. The morning of Monday, August 3rd, looks glassy with a light northeasterly, but the swell is only 1 foot – that’s just a lake.
The first sign of life comes on the morning of Friday, August 7th. We’ve got a 4-foot swell from the west, with a period of 8 seconds, and here’s the kicker: the wind is glassy from the northeast. The combined energy is moderate at 174, and it’ll be clean. That’s your one standout window in the whole 16 days, but it’s brief. The afternoon blows out with a strong onshore wind.
After that, the weekend of the 8th and 9th sees a bit more size – 4 to 5 feet – but the period is short (6 to 7 seconds) and the wind is a mess. It’s cross-shore chop, or rain showers, and onshore. For the Rade de Croisic, with that open exposure, this is more of a kite-surfing scene than a paddler’s paradise. The energy is strong (over 200) but it’s just not clean.
The second week drops off again. We’re looking at 2 to 3 feet with poor winds from the 10th to the 12th. Nothing to write home about.
So, the bottom line: if you’ve got a paddle board, maybe you’ll get a glassy push on the morning of the 7th, but for a proper wave, this forecast is a bust. It’s a classic summer lull for this area. Don’t hold your breath.
