The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer.

Honestly, the next two weeks are looking pretty grim for a proper surf. There’s a long stretch of small, weak, and messy conditions right through the first week. You’re looking at a solid seven days of tiny waves, mostly under 3ft, with a lot of cross-onshore or onshore winds messing things up. The combined swell energy is low, often below 100 (46), so there’s just no push.

The only real glimmer of hope comes on Sunday, the 9th of August, in the morning. The swell finally bumps up to 7ft from the SW, with a combined energy of 555 – that’s a proper surge of power. But here’s the catch: it’s a short period of 8 seconds, so it’s a windswell, not a clean groundswell. The wind is light and cross-onshore from the S at just 3 mph, meaning it’ll be rideable, but only for experienced surfers. At 7ft, the waves have some heft, and this is a reef break, so it’s strictly for the advanced crew. The water temp is about 65°, which is pretty normal for the time of year.

For the rest of the run, there’s nothing else worth paddling for. The second week drops back into tiny, onshore junk. If you’re a kite surfer, the stronger afternoon winds later in the window might make it more interesting, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a long wait.

The standout is the Sunday morning, 9th August session at Kaolins – that’s the only real opportunity, and even then, it’s only for the hardcore.

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.
