The Lowdown

Right, ol’ mates, let’s have a look at what’s on offer. I’m Rusty, and I’ve got the skinny on Kaolins. Gotta be straight with you – this is a tricky stretch. The forecast shows a long, lean patch before anything even gets close to being worth a paddle. The whole 16-day window is a real struggle for decent waves, with a lot of weak, messy energy and poor surf conditions flagged right through. The water’s sittin’ at a warm 67°, which is a touch above what we’d normally expect for this time of year – not drastic, but a little warmer than usual.

The only real stand-out, and it’s a long way off, is on Monday, 10 August, in the afternoon. We get a pulse of 5 ft from the west, with a period of 9 seconds. That’s a moderate swell, with combined energy at 432 (moderate wave energy). But here’s the rub – the wind is cross-onshore at 16 mph, which makes it pretty choppy and lumpy. The break itself is a reef, set up for advanced surfers, and it’s inconsistent, so don’t expect a non-stop show. The optimum swell direction is from the southwest, and this swell is from the west, so it’s not a perfect match. It’s a day when the better surfers might find a few, but it’s not going to be clean. The crowd can be around sometimes, so you might have some company.

Before that, it’s a rough ride. From Tuesday, 28 July, all the way through to Sunday, 9 August, the surf is just poor. The heights are tiny – mostly 1 ft to 2 ft – with weak combined energy (often under 100) and junk winds. The only real highlight in that dry spell is a brief moment on Friday, 31 July, morning, with a clean cross-offshore breeze and a 1 ft swell, but it’s just too small to get excited about. Then again on Saturday, 1 August, the morning and afternoon are clean, but again, the swell is only 2 ft. It’s a tease.

After the 10th, the swell drops back again. The 11th has a morning with 3 ft from the west, but it’s onshore and messy. The rest of the window is more of the same: small, onshore, and not worth a second look.

So, if you’re a beginner, the 5 ft on the 10th will be a bit much, and it’s not clean anyway. For the experts, it’s a possible but not a great day. The rest is a write-off. It’s a proper blank run for the area, and it’s not unusual to see a stretch like this. The forecasts can change, but right now, it’s looking pretty grim.

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.
