The Lowdown
Alright, folks. Rusty here. Let’s get into this.
Honestly, the first two weeks of this forecast are a washout. Kaolins (Kaolin) sees nothing but tiny, weak swell and a lot of onshore wind for the first 13 days. The combined energy is barely a whisper, with the highest value being a 176 (moderate) on the afternoon of the 4th of August, but the wind is onshore and the swell is a messy 1.3m with a short 7-second period. It’s just not happening. The only clean moments come on the mornings of the 7th and 8th of August with light offshore winds, but the swell is only 0.3m – not enough to surf.
The one real standout is the window around the 16th and 17th of August. The morning of Sunday, August 16th delivers a 1.8m swell from the W with a period of 8 seconds, and the combined energy climbs to 378 (moderate). The wind is a clean cross-offshore from the E at 20 km/h. That’s a solid improvement. The best of the lot looks like the morning of Monday, August 17th: the swell holds at 1.8m from the WNW, the combined energy jumps to 710 (strong), and the wind is again a clean cross-offshore from the ENE at 20 km/h. The afternoon of the 17th goes glassy, but the swell drops to 1.2m. This is a long-range call, so take it with a grain of salt, but it’s the only real chance in the whole 16-day period.
The water temp is about 18°, which is normal for the time of year, and expect some crowds if you hit that 17th morning window. Beyond that, it’s a long wait.
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.
