The Lowdown
Hey crew, Rusty here. Gotta level with you—it's a total flat spell. Over the next 16 days, there's nothing worth paddling out for. Tiny, weak swell and crummy wind all the way through.
The only break we're looking at is Rade de Croisic. It's open to a SW swell, which is its best direction, but nothing lines up. Water temp is about 20°F? Wait, scratch that—it's 20°C, so about average for the season.
Starting Sunday the 2nd of August, the swell is a joke. We're seeing 0.2 to 0.4 feet of west windswell with a short 8-second period, and combined energy is just 22 (weak). Wind is cross-on or onshore all the time. Monday the 3rd up to Tuesday the 4th, the swell bumps to 0.6–0.8 feet, but it's straight wind-chop with period dropping to 6–7 seconds and energy peaking at 81 (still weak). By Wednesday the 5th, it's the same: onshore slop.
Into the second week, from the 9th, it gets even worse. The swell turns NW, period crashes to 4 seconds, and energy drops into single digits by the 11th. The morning of the 10th has a 0.7-foot NW swell with 6-second period and a cross-onshore wind at 12 mph—still garbage.
The one bright spot is the morning of Saturday the 15th. The wind goes glassy, with a northerly breeze at only 3 mph and the water is dead flat. But the swell is a puny 0.4 feet from the WSW at 8 seconds with only 22 energy. Perfect for a paddle, terrible for surfing.
This is a long run with no real surf. There's a big gap from now to the end. The area just doesn't produce much swell reliably, and this blank stretch is more normal here. A kite surfer would have fun on a breezy afternoon, but for paddle surfing? Not a chance.
Keep the wax in the wrapper, boys.
Rusty.
