The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with the outlook for this stretch. Let’s be straight – the next 16 days are a tough watch. The one spot with any real potential is Kaolins, a tricky reef break that’s advanced-only and doesn’t break often. It needs a clean window, and we get a couple.
We’re starting with a solid pulse of energy on Tuesday the 8th, but the wind is junk. A strong 28 mph southerly is going to ruin that 7ft WSW swell. The combined energy is moderate at (393), but with that wind, don’t bother.
Wednesday the 9th morning is the one. This is our standout. The swell drops to a clean 4ft from the WSW, and the wind goes light and cross-offshore from the NW at just 6 mph. The wave energy is still moderate at (426), and the combo of that offshore breeze with a decent period (9 seconds) will make Kaolins glassy. The water sits right around 66°, feeling a touch warmer than normal. This is the session to circle. The afternoon gets sloppy, so dawn patrol it is.
After Wednesday, the window slams shut. Thursday the 10th is tiny (2ft) and messy. Friday the 11th has marginal energy but bad wind. Saturday the 12th starts glassy with a 3ft wave, but it’s just not enough push.
Then we hit a brutal dry spell. From Sunday the 13th all the way through September 23rd, the surf is consistently under 3ft. There’s energy on the charts later – like a 3ft groundswell on Wednesday the 23rd with a 13-second period and energy of (282) – but the wind is howling at 19 mph from the east. The wave height is just tiny.
In short, the only call is Wednesday the 9th morning. Get on it quick, because after that, it’s a solid two-week gap of flat or junky conditions.
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.
