The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down the Kaolins forecast in feet and knots. It’s a tough outlook, I won’t lie.

For the first week and a half, there’s nothing to get excited about. The surf is tiny, the wind is all over the place, and the conditions are just poor. It’s a long, quiet stretch.

The only real pulse of energy we get is on Sunday, August 9th. The Kaolins (reef) will see a 7ft swell from the west, with a combined energy of 930 – that’s a strong, powerful push. But the wind is cross-on from the WNW at 6 knots, and the whole setup is only "marginal." The period is 9 seconds, so it’s a short-period wind swell, which means it’ll be bumpy and messy. At 7ft, this is strictly for experts. The cross-on wind will make it a choppy, ugly beast. For most of us, this is more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle-surfing one.

The water temperature is 68°F, which is a touch warmer than average for this time of year.

Before that, from now until the 8th of August, the surf is tiny, often under 2ft, with onshore or cross-on winds. The few moments of clean glass come with swell you can barely paddle for.

So, the only possible standout is that Sunday, August 9th morning session. It’s big, it’s rough, and it’s for experts only. If you know the reef and are happy to get smashed, go for it. Otherwise, save your energy for a better forecast. It’s a long shot.

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.
