Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Kaolins.

Honestly, it’s a pretty grim start. We’re looking at a solid two-week stretch of really poor conditions. The swell just isn’t cooperating, and the wind is rarely on our side. From now, right through to the 18th of July, you’ll be lucky to get something surfable. There’s a few mornings with clean conditions and light offshore breezes—like the morning of the 14th of July—but the swell is tiny, barely 2 ft from the west. Not worth paddling out for, if I’m honest.

We’re not seeing any real energy in the water. The combined swell energy is stuck in the double digits or lower triple digits for most of this period, which is weak. It’s not doing anyone any favours.

The first real glimmer of hope is the morning of Saturday the 18th of July. We’ve got glassy conditions and a little bump in energy—combined energy around 159 (moderate)—with a 3 ft west swell. But it’s short period, just 10 seconds, and the wind turns messy by the afternoon. It’s surfable, but only just.

Then, on the morning of Sunday the 20th of July, things get a bit more interesting. That’s the standout, but it comes with a warning. We’re looking at a 5 ft swell from the west, and combined energy is up to 417 (strong). The wind though is a fresh cross-shore, which is going to chop things up. The swell's period is 9 seconds, so it’s not a long-period groundswell. This one is for experienced surfers only—that size with messy wind will be a handful. The morning of the 20th is the best, but it’s not exactly a classic day.

Kaolins is a reef break, and it’s inconsistent. When it works it can be a gem, but right now the stars aren’t aligned. The water temp is about 63°, which is normal for this time of year.

So, if you’re desperate, the 20th of July morning is your only real shout, but keep your expectations low. It’s been a long dry spell, and it might not stay this way forever—forecasts can change.

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.
