The Lowdown

Alright, let’s get into it. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty bleak for any real waves around here. Honestly, the forecast is a bit of a heartbreaker for anyone wanting to get a proper session in. We’re looking at a run of tiny, weak surf and a lot of onshore wind messing things up. If you’re not desperate, you might wanna give the board a rest for a bit.

The first real chance of anything even worth looking at doesn’t show up until the morning of Thursday the 13th. Before that, it’s a whole lot of nothing. We’re talking days of knee-high slop and lumpy, cross-onshore conditions. The wind is gonna be a constant problem, mostly from the west or southwest, and it’s just gonna chop up whatever tiny bumps are out there. There’s a morning here and there with clean conditions, like Friday the 7th, but there’s just no swell behind it whatsoever. It’s a real tease.

Now, that Thursday the 13th morning does have a little something. The swell bumps up to about 3ft, coming from the WSW, with a period of 11 seconds. That’s a bit more organised than what we’ve seen. The combined energy is still moderate at 198, but it’s the first time it’s gotten over that hundred mark. The wind is light, from the north, which is a cross-offshore breeze for Kaolins. That’s a huge plus and should keep the face pretty clean. It’s not big, but it would be the standout of the whole period. The water temp is sitting at 66°, which is about normal for this time of year, so a slightly thicker wetsuit is still the call.

The other morning worth mentioning is Friday the 14th. There’s still some similar sized swell, around 2-3ft from the WSW, with a light NNE offshore wind. It’s a similar setup to the day before, but a touch less energy behind it. If you miss Thursday, this is the next best option. After that, the window slams shut again. The swell drops back down and the wind swings back onshore. There’s a brief pulse on Monday the 17th morning, with 3ft from the WSW again and a cross-offshore NNW wind, but the energy is a bit weaker and it just doesn’t have the same appeal.

To be honest, the whole 16-day stretch is a write-off for anyone but the most committed. The lack of any decent, consistent swell is the main story. Unless you’re just stoked to get wet and do some paddling, there’s nothing here that’s going to get the heart racing. Keep an eye on that Thursday the 13th, because it’s the only real glimmer of hope on the horizon.

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.
