The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’ve got the lowdown on Rade de Croisic for the next couple of weeks.
Mate, I’m not gonna sugarcoat it – this is a grim stretch for surfers. We’re looking at a solid 16-day window with barely a ripple worth paddling for. The first real nod to any surf doesn’t even come until the very end of the run, and even then, it’s a long shot.
The whole first week and a half is a write-off. From Thursday the 30th of July right through to the 10th of August, it’s all tiny, weak, and generally onshore. You’re looking at ankle-snappers and knee-high slop, day after day. The wind is almost always cross-on or straight onshore, chopping up whatever pathetic little bump there is. The combined energy readings are all in the double digits – that’s weak, weak energy, like 13 or 31 (just a whisper). The water temp is about 67°F, which is bang on average for this time of year, so at least it’s not chilly, but that’s all the good news I’ve got.
There’s a small bump in energy on the 9th of August, with a 3ft swell from the WSW, but the wind is howling onshore at 16 mph, so it’s just a blown-out mess. The energy finally creeps into triple digits on the 11th of August, hitting 202 (moderate energy), with a 4ft swell from the WSW. But again, the wind is onshore, and the call is still “poor surf conditions”. That one is 11 days away, so not something to bank on.
The real stand-out, if you can call it that, is the morning of the 11th of August. It’s got the most size and push we’ll see, but the wind is straight onshore, so it’s going to be a lumpy, messy trough. A 4ft swell with a 9-second period from the WSW isn’t garbage, but at Rade de Croisic, with that onshore wind, it’s strictly for the die-hards with nothing better to do. The spot is exposed to the SW, so the direction is fine, but the conditions will ruin it. For a beginner, anything over 5ft is a handful, so this is still manageable for a confident intermediate, but the wind is the real killer.
After that, it fades off into nothing again. Honestly, for this stretch, if you’re itching to get on the water, the wind and waves are more suited to a kite session than a surf session. Keep the board in the car, mate. The forecasts can change, but right now, this is a tough one.
Stay tuned, and maybe check back in a few days.
Rusty.
