The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s talk about what’s on the table for the Kaolins area.

To be straight with you, the next sixteen days are looking pretty flat. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak waves and that’s just how it is. There’s nothing on the cards that’s going to get the heart pumping. The first real surf of any note doesn’t show up until the end of the month, and even then, it’s a marginal call.

The only spot we’ve got to look at is Kaolins. It’s a tricky reef setup, best for advanced crew, and it’s inconsistent. It’s fairly exposed to the swell, but the direction it loves most is from the SW. We’ll see a little bump of energy around the 26th of July, with the swell building to 5ft from the west on Sunday morning, and the period is a short 7 seconds. The wind is a moderate cross-shore, so it’s going to be a bit lumpy. The combined energy is moderate, hitting 167. It’s not great, but it’s the most size we see.

The following day, Monday the 27th, has a similar story. The swell is around 4ft to 5ft from the west-northwest, with the period stretching to 9 seconds. The energy jumps up to 527, which is strong, but the wind is still a cross-shore, so expect some chop. The water temperature is a notable 69°F, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year.

Honestly, neither of these days is what I’d call a standout. The waves are just too weak and the wind isn’t playing ball. For the rest of the period, it’s tiny, poor, and not worth chasing. The blank run is real, and it’s typical for this area when the swell just doesn’t line up.

If you’re desperate for a paddle, maybe the 27th of July gives you a few grovelly ones, but don’t expect much. I’d keep an eye on the forecast, but for now, the boards are staying in the garage.

Rusty.

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.
