The Lowdown

Alright, surfer, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.

To be straight with you, the next 16 days are a real struggle. There’s practically nothing on the menu that’s gonna get the stoke levels up. The wave energy is weak, and the wind is a constant problem. We’re looking at a long stretch of poor surf conditions that just refuses to let up.

The first real chance at anything surfable doesn’t even show up until Friday, August 7th. Even then, it’s a tough call. On Friday morning, the swell at Rade de Croisic is a tiny 3 feet from the WSW with a short, weak period of 6 seconds and moderate energy (64). The wind is onshore from the WSW, ruining any chance of a clean face. The afternoon is a bit bigger, pushing 4 feet from the WSW, but the period is still a dismal 6 seconds, and the wind stays onshore. The energy bumps up to 199 (moderate), but with that onshore wind, it’s just a messy, lumpy wall.

Saturday, the 8th, offers similar conditions. The morning sees 4 feet from the WSW but with a cross-onshore wind from the WNW, making it choppy. The energy is moderate (167), but the quality just isn’t there. The afternoon drops to 3 feet, but the onshore wind from the W kills it.

Honestly, the standout in this whole bleak forecast is the glassy window we get on Monday, August 10th, in the afternoon. The wind goes dead calm, glassy, and the swell is a tiny 1 foot from the WSW. It’s clean, but it’s not surfable. It’s a flat calm, not a wave.

There’s a flicker of hope on Tuesday, August 11th, in the morning. We get a clean offshore wind from the ENE at 12 mph and a 2 feet swell from the W with a 9-second period and energy of 43. It’s the cleanest the water will be, but the swell is just too small for a proper ride. It’s a tease.

For the rest of the period, it’s a sad story. The wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell is tiny and weak. Sometimes the swell gets up to 3 feet or 4 feet, but the wind is always there to chop it up. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing wild to report.

The bottom line? Don’t bother. The combined energy never gets strong (the highest we see is 199 on August 7th), and the wind is a constant enemy. It’s a blank run for the area, and it’s normal for this spot to be a bit of a dud for a stretch. The only thing that might make this look interesting is if you’re into kite surfing, because with that onshore wind and messy, weak surf, it’s a better bet for a kite than a paddle.

Keep your board waxed and your eyes on the next forecast. This one’s a write-off.

Rusty.
