Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at the next couple of weeks for Rade de Croisic. Gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one.
To be honest, the first week and a half of this forecast is a write-off. We’re looking at a real dry spell with tiny, weak swell and mostly onshore or cross-shore winds. There’s nothing worth paddling out for from now right through until Monday the 14th of July. That’s about nine days of flat to near-flat conditions where the best you’ll get is a knee-high dribble, and even that’s being generous.
The only flicker of hope in the whole outlook shows up on Tuesday morning, the 14th of July. We’ve finally got a bit of energy in the water, with the combined swell energy hitting a moderate 64. Swell is coming from the west at 2ft with a period of 11 seconds, so there's a bit of a groundswell pulse to it, which will give better shape than the wind chop we’ve been staring at. The wind is light from the ENE at 6 mph, blowing cross-offshore, and it’s clean. It’s not a standout by any stretch – the conditions call it “surfable but very ordinary” – but compared to everything else around it, this is your only shot at a wave.
For the rest of the period after that, it’s back to the same story: small, weak, and messy. We’ve got a bit of wind from the north and northeast through the 16th and 17th that keeps it clean, but there’s just no swell to work with.
Don't lose hope entirely, though. The Rade is a fickle spot, and a blank run like this is normal for the area. Forecasts can change. Keep an eye on it.
Rusty.

Information about the Rade de Croisic Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Rade de Croisic provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Rade de Croisic can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Rade de Croisic may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself.
