The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the Rade de Croisic. I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. We're looking at very little surf energy over the next couple of weeks.
The water is sitting at a very unusual 71°, which is a massive 6° warmer than normal for this time of year. That’s a real standout, but it’s about the only thing that’s standing out for the right reasons.
The whole 16-day window is basically a flat spell. There's a big gap from now until the 26th of July with nothing rideable. The swell is tiny, mostly 0.3ft to 0.7ft, and the energy is pathetic – we're seeing single-digit numbers like 3 to 13 (all weak energy). It's a proper dry spell.
Then, around the 26th of July, we see a slight bump. The swell lifts to 2ft on Sunday morning and 3ft on Sunday afternoon, with the combined energy hitting 53 and 73 (still weak). But it's messy. The wind is onshore, cross, or cross-on, with a short period of 5 to 6 seconds. That's not going to produce anything worth paddling out for. The surf is pretty much blown out and poor.
The best of a bad bunch looks like Tuesday the 28th of July in the afternoon. The swell is only 2ft, but the combined energy finally climbs to 108 (moderate energy) with a 12-second period. That's a longer period, which usually means better shaped waves, but the wind is onshore from the WSW, so it'll be bumpy. It's a tiny window of hope in a very flat outlook.
Honestly, for the Rade de Croisic, this is a classic blank run. There's nothing here for a paddle surfer. The whole setup is so small and windy that it might be more interesting for the kite crowd than for us.
Rusty.
