The Lowdown

Right, let’s take a look at what’s on offer here for Kaolins.

First off, the water temp is sitting at 70°, which is a massive 6° warmer than usual for this time of year – that’s seriously unusual, and it’s going to feel like bathwater.

The honest truth is, for the next week and a half, we’re in a real flat spell. There are just scraps of swell – maybe 0.7ft to 1ft – and mostly with poor conditions. Winds are often onshore or cross-on, so it’s pretty messy. There’s a bit of clean morning glass on Thursday the 16th, but with only 1ft of swell and a short period of 8 seconds, it’s barely a ripple. The combined wave energy is weak, often in the single digits to low 40s, so don’t even bother paddling out for those. For about 10 days straight, from the 14th through the 23rd morning, there’s nothing worth recommending.

Now, let’s talk about the one true standout in this whole 16-day window. It comes on Thursday the 23rd in the morning. That’s where a proper pulse of swell finally shows up: 7ft from the SW, with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy jumps right up to 804 (moderate wave energy). That’s a chunky, powerful wave. The wind will be offshore from the ENE at 12 mph, keeping things clean. But here’s the thing – at 7ft, this is solid, expert-level surf. Beginners should stay well clear. It’s not for the faint-hearted.

This is a reef break that’s inconsistent, so it’s a rare treat when it turns on. And it’s listed for advanced surfers only. It’s sometimes crowded, so you might have company. Optimum swell direction is SW, and that’s exactly what’s coming – a good match.

After that morning window, the wind swings onshore by the afternoon, and the quality drops right off. So, the call is to be ready for that Thursday 23rd morning session. It’s a long way off, so the forecast could shift, but right now that’s the only time this spot looks like it will deliver.

Signing off, 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.
