The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on offer for the Kaolins stretch over the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you – it’s a pretty lean run, so don’t get your hopes up too high.
The outlook starts with a bit of a bust. Tuesday the 8th is a write-off with strong winds and a messy, short-period 7ft to 8ft swell that’s just ugly. That energy is cranked up (304-1451 combined energy), but the quality is zero. That’s a hard pass.
We get a little window of hope on Wednesday morning, the 9th. The swell drops to a clean 4ft from the WSW, period bumps up to a decent 9 seconds, and the wind is a light offshore from the NNW. That’s a nice combo. The water temp is about average for this time of year. The energy is moderate (397). This is the best the whole forecast has to offer. It’s still a reef break that’s inconsistent, so you’ll need to be patient and know what you’re doing – it’s an advanced spot. Crowds are possible, but with the conditions this good, you might have a few friends out. The swell direction is SW, which is right in the sweet spot for this place.
After that, it’s a long, dry spell. From Thursday the 10th right through to Tuesday the 23rd, the surf is tiny, weak, and mostly blown out. You’ll see a few mornings with glassy conditions (like the 12th and 14th) but the swell is barely a ripple – 1ft to 3ft – so it’s not worth paddling out for. The energy is weak (under 100 most days). The wind is almost always onshore or cross-shore, keeping things choppy and messy. There’s a long period (16 seconds) groundswell on the 12th, but it’s only 1ft, so it’s just a tease.
To be honest, Wednesday morning the 9th is your only real shot. Go get it. After that, the board stays in the car.
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.
