The Lowdown

Right, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what the next couple of weeks are serving up for the Rade de Croisic region.

Well, I’ll be straight with you – this is a tough one. The forecast is looking pretty bleak for a proper surf, especially for the first week. We’ve got a solid run of poor surf conditions from today, the 28th of August, all the way through to the 4th of September. That’s a full eight days of onshore winds, messy seas, and mostly small, weak waves. You’ll be fighting a strong cross-onshore breeze most of that time. The combined wave energy does jump up around the 29th and 31st of August – hitting 323 and 708 (moderate energy) – but that’s paired with heavy onshore wind, making it a complete chop-fest. For the experienced lot, that 5ft to 7ft swell on those days is more of a kite-surfing proposition than a paddle session.

Things finally start to look up a touch on the 1st of September. It’s not a classic, but we get a brief window. Tuesday morning sees a light offshore breeze from the NNE at 10 km/h cleaning up a small 3ft W swell with a 10-second period. The combined energy is only 117 (weak to moderate) and the score is low, but for the first time in over a week, the conditions are “clean”. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. That small window closes fast as the wind swings onshore again in the afternoon.

After that, it’s back to tiny, weak swell for a few days until the 5th of September. The 5th of September Saturday morning offers a bit of a surprise. The wind goes glassy – a slight air from the WSW at 5 km/h. The swell picks up long-period energy: 2ft from the west with a 12-second period. The combined energy is 141 (moderate), and it’s described as glassy. That’s a proper clean looking morning, even if the waves are small. That’s the standout option for the entire 16-day forecast. It won’t be big, but it will be pretty.

The 8th of September Tuesday morning also shows promise, with an offshore breeze from the east at 15 km/h cleaning up a small 2ft groundswell. Clean and gentle offshore wind, but tiny.

The last few days of the outlook, from the 9th to the 12th of September, are back to the same old story: onshore wind and poor conditions. It’s a grim run for the area.

Best Bet: Saturday the 5th of September, morning session. Glassy conditions, a clean 2ft groundswell from the west. It won’t be a big day, but it’ll be the best quality we get. For the more desperate among you, Tuesday the 1st of September morning with the light offshore is your only other viable window.

Rusty.
