The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down what we’re looking at for the next couple of weeks at Rade de Croisic.

Honestly, it’s a bleak run for the most part, with a whole lot of flat, weak, and messy conditions to wade through. The first solid chance for a paddle doesn’t come until the last day of the period, and even that is a bit of a gamble. We’re talking a long stretch of next to nothing.

The water temp is sitting at 67°, which is about 1° warmer than usual for this time of year, so just a touch on the mild side, but nothing too wild.

The first week is a total write-off. From Wednesday the 22nd right through to the morning of Tuesday the 5th of August, every single forecast window is flagged as poor surf. Swell is tiny, most of the time under 2 ft, and when it does try to show a little pulse, the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, making a mess of things. The only moment of cleaner conditions comes Thursday morning the 23rd with a moderate offshore breeze, but there is virtually no swell to work with – barely 0.7 ft and a short period. You’d be fighting for a ripple.

The energy starts to build a little from Sunday the 26th onwards, with combined swell energy hitting 104 on the Sunday afternoon and 103 on Monday afternoon, but the wind is straight onshore at 15-21 mph, so it’s just a choppy, blown-out mess. Not worth a second look for surfing.

There’s a slight uptick in swell on the 1st of August, with the combined energy hitting 109 on Saturday afternoon, but again it’s cross-onshore and fairly choppy. The following days see S/SW winds and a lumpy cross-chop, with energy values climbing to 306 on Monday the 3rd, but the swell direction and wind combo kill any quality.

The only true standout is the morning of Wednesday the 6th of August. We’ve got a clean, light offshore breeze from the NNE (the optimum for this break), with a 2 ft swell from the west at 9 seconds. The combined energy is 61, just enough for a small, clean wave on the longboard or a twinny. This is the only time in the whole 16-day window where the wind and swell line up for anything resembling a decent session. It’s not big, but it’ll be glassy and fun. Expect crowds to be possible. After that, the afternoon goes back to onshore junk, and the 7th looks poor again.

So, to sum it up: get the board waxed for the morning of Wednesday the 6th of August. Before that, it’s a pretty barren stretch. The spot can be fairly consistent, but this run is a dud.
