Table - best surf conditions forecast for Kaolins over the next 16 days.


Alright, here's the straight talk in feet and Fahrenheit. Over these 16 days, Kaolin is mostly a dud, with one potential bright spot if you're patient.

From July 8th, the surf is tiny—nothing over 2 feet, and mostly weak, short-period windswell. The water temp is about 65°, which is just a touch over 1° warmer than normal for this time of year—nice for a swim, but not helping the waves. For the first week and a half, the swell energy is pathetic, with combined values in the single digits or low teens (10-48 range). It's not worth paddling out. Winds are mixed, sometimes offshore or side-off, but there's just nothing to ride. You'll see several days in a row with no real surf.

Then, July 20th Monday morning changes things. A solid 5-foot swell comes from the west, with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 319—that's moderate, pushing strong. This is the best window. The wind is light and side-onshore, so it'll be a little crinkled but rideable. This is big enough that beginners might struggle—over 5 feet can be intimidating—but for advanced surfers, this is the call. Kaolins is a reef break, advanced, inconsistent, and can get crowded sometimes. The west swell lines up well with the optimum southwest direction. Monday afternoon and Tuesday morning still have some push (284 and 130 energy) before it fades. After that, it's back to tiny, weak stuff.

Mark Monday July 20th. That's the only real shot. The rest is a flat spell.

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.
