The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Kaolins is cooking up over the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, but there are a couple of windows that’ll get the blood pumping, especially if you’re an advanced surfer.

Kaolins is a reef setup, and it’s an inconsistent one – it doesn’t switch on all the time, so when it does, you better be ready. The water temp is sitting at about 66°, which is pretty much normal for the start of September. The swell energy is all over the place, ranging from a weak 120 to a solid 695, so it's a real waiting game.

Right now, we’re in a flat spell. The first few days are a write-off; the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, and the surf is just poor. Forget about it until the morning of Saturday the 5th. That morning, we get a little pulse of 4ft from the west, with a beautiful 13-second period. The combined energy of all swells directed here jumps to 466, which is moderate, and the wind goes light easterly, cross-off. It’ll be clean, but at 4ft on this reef, it’s a bit small for the advanced crowd. The afternoon turns onshore, so that morning window is your only shot. After that, Sunday the 6th and Monday the 7th drop off again with messy conditions.

The real standout, and I mean the one to circle, is the morning of Tuesday the 15th of September. That’s your best bet for the entire forecast. We get a jump to a clean 6ft from the WNW, with a moderate 8-second period. The combined energy of all swells directed here is 684, which is solid moderate energy. The best part? The wind is a light 6 mph from the ENE, which is straight offshore and glassy. This reef will be firing clean lines, but that 6ft at Kaolins is top-end for this spot; it’s for the advanced crew only. The morning will be perfect.

Before that, the morning of Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th offer small, clean waves from the west, around 2ft. The energy is low (128-169), but it’s clean and the wind is light. It’s surfable, just small and ordinary.

After the big Tuesday morning, the 15th, the afternoon turns onshore and messy. Wednesday the 16th and Thursday the 17th have similar small, clean windows in the mornings, with the Thursday morning seeing a light offshore from the NNE, giving you 4ft west swell. The energy is low at 158, but it’ll be clean. There’s another chance on the morning of Friday the 18th with a light offshore from the ENE and a 3ft west swell.

But honestly, if you only get one session in this whole run, make it the morning of Tuesday the 15th. That’s the one.

Stay salty,
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.
