The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here. Checkin' in on the Rade de Croisic for the next couple weeks. Honestly, it’s a pretty grim run for most of it, with a big empty stretch at the front.
Not much to get excited about until Thursday the 23rd of July, which is more than a week out. Before that, it’s all tiny, weak, blown-out dribble. Tuesday the 14th kicks off with a sickly 1ft WSW swell at 6 seconds, cross-on wind, and the water’s at 71°, which is way warmer than normal for July. It’s poor. Wednesday and Thursday stay anemic, barely reaching 2ft with onshore junk. Friday the 17th bumps a little to 3ft but with a 5-second period and onshore wind – just ugly.
Saturday the 18th morning goes clean with a light offshore ENE breeze at 9 mph, but the swell is only 0.7ft. Glassy but empty. Sunday the 19th morning turns dead calm with a 3 mph NNW breeze, but again only 0.7ft of west swell. Pretty, but not surfable.
Thursday the 23rd of July is the one to circle. That morning we get a sudden jump to a 7ft SW swell at 7 seconds, with strong combined energy (423) and a clean offshore wind from the NE at 12 mph. This is the standout – good size, clean wind, and the SW direction fits the spot. At 7ft, it’s too much for beginners and best left to the experienced crew. The break is fairly consistent, but you’ll have company; crowds are sometimes a thing here.
Friday the 24th drops off sharp with cross-shore and onshore wind messing things up. Saturday the 25th goes back to tiny, choppy junk. Sunday the 26th brings a long-period 12-second west swell at 2ft in the morning, but cross-on wind and moderate energy (93) – sloppy. By afternoon, onshore wind hits 28 mph and energy jumps to 115, but that’s kite territory, not paddle.
The final few days into the 27th–29th of July see some 3ft to 6ft swells come through, but every time the wind is cross-on or onshore, and it’s all rated poor. The energy climbs into the 200–300 range (moderate), but without clean wind it’s just bumpy and blown.
So, bottom line: Thursday the 23rd morning is your best bet, but expect a crowd and solid power. The rest of the 16 days? Not much to write home about. Forecasts can always change, but right now, it’s a lean run.
Rusty.
