The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for Kaolins. Gotta be straight with you – this isn't the prettiest forecast I've ever seen, but there might be a little something if you're patient. The setup here is a tricky reef, so you'll want your wits about you. The first few days are basically a write-off, so don't rush.

The whole outlook starts off on the 25th of July with next to nothing. Tiny, messy waves and a moderate breeze make for a poor scene. Saturday morning has a pathetic 0.7 ft swell at 8 seconds from the west, with a cross-offshore wind, but the combined energy is a weak (8) – not worth the paddle. The 26th of July is worse, with onshore winds and choppy, lumpy conditions. You're looking at a couple of days of waiting it out until the 27th of July.

On the 27th of July, Monday morning, there's a brief flicker of hope. We get a 3 ft west swell, period stretching out to a nice, long 9 seconds, and the wind goes glassy – a slight air from the northwest. The combined energy climbs to (162), which is moderate, and it's clean. The only problem? The wave report still says "poor surf conditions," so it's a bit of a tease. That afternoon the wind swings and it gets choppy again. Tuesday the 28th of July has a clean morning with a cross-offshore, but the swell drops to 2 ft – just not enough oomph.

Looking further out, things stay small and inconsistent. The 1st of August actually delivers a clean morning with a gentle offshore breeze (NE at 9 mph) and a 1 ft west-southwest swell. It's tiny, but blown glass. The 2nd of August morning is similar, with a slight air and 2 ft from the southwest, clean again but still small. The 3rd of August morning has a light offshore breeze and 3 ft from the west-southwest, with combined energy of (99) – almost moderate. It's about the best you'll see, but still small and short period at 7 seconds. After that, the wind gets aggressive and the quality tanks for the rest of the run.

For a standout, if I had to pick one, it'd be Monday morning the 27th of July. That's the only time the swell gets over three feet with a decent period, combined with glassy conditions. It's the cleanest window, but don't expect barrels. Otherwise, there's a long gap from the 28th of July right through to the 3rd of August of small, marginal surf. Nothing here for the faint of heart, and this reef rarely offers an easy ride.

Stay patient, keep an eye on the wind, and don't expect much.

Information about the Kaolins Surf forecast

The above surf forecast table for Kaolins provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Kaolins can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Kaolins surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Kaolins) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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 Kaolins 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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.

Kaolin is 5 km (3 miles) from the city of Ploemeur. If you plan a holiday in Morbihan - Brittany, look for hotels and other accommodation in Ploemeur. Ploemeur has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
