The Lowdown

G’day, it’s Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. Looking down the line for the next couple of weeks, there’s not a lot to get the heart racing. Most of this stretch is small, wind-affected, and pretty ordinary. We’re talking about a run of days with ankle to waist-high slop, mostly blown out by onshores. It’s not a total write-off, but you’re gonna have to be picky and patient.

The first real chance to get wet doesn’t show up until Saturday the 12th. That morning, we’ve got a clean 2ft of west swell at Rade de Croisic (Loire-Atlantique). The wind is a light offshore from the northeast, which will keep it tidy. The energy is weak (52), so it’s a small, clean fun-wave session for a log or a fish. The water’s running 68°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. Saturday afternoon, things fall apart with a cross-onshore breeze, so get it early.

There’s a small gap after that. The next decent window looks like Monday morning, the 14th. There’s 2ft of west swell again, but this time with a true offshore easterly breeze. It’ll be clean, but the energy is still weak (68). It’s another "small but clean" situation. The period is 10 seconds, so it’s got a little bit of push, but it’s still a groveler. This pattern repeats a couple of times over the next few days – small west swell with occasional clean windows – but the size just isn’t there.

The best of the first week is a bit of a toss-up between Saturday the 19th and Wednesday the 23rd. On Saturday the 19th, we finally get a bit of size, with 2ft, but more importantly a moderate offshore from the east-northeast for the morning. It’s clean (92 energy), and the west swell is pushing 11 seconds. That’s a proper little groundswell window and worth a paddle.

But the real standout for this whole period is Wednesday morning, the 23rd of September. This is more than a week out, so keep that in mind, but it’s the one to circle on the calendar. The swell jumps to 2ft from the west, but the period bumps up to a very long 14 seconds. That’s a solid groundswell. The energy also jumps to 206, which is a moderate, more substantial pulse. The wind is a clean cross-off from the east-northeast, keeping the surface smooth at Rade de Croisic. This is the best combination of size, period, and wind we see all forecast. This spot, being an exposed bay, has the right shape for this kind of long-period energy. The period is right up there, so it’s going to have some proper push and shape. It will be the most powerful surf of the fortnight. As a heads-up, this long period can make some beach breaks close out, but Rade de Croisic handles it well.

After that, the swell fades out pretty quickly into the last few days. Thursday the 24th has a tiny 2ft morning, but the wind is right, and by the 25th and 26th, we’re back to dribble – 1ft and 0.6ft with more onshore wind.

So, in a nutshell: you’ve got a few clean, small windows in the first week, but the one to look forward to is Wednesday the 23rd. It’s not life-changing, but it’s clean, it’s got some push, and it’s the best the next 16 days have to offer. The long period is the key, so if you can only get out once, make it then. Get after it.

Rusty.
