Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at the surf outlook for Kaolins.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough one. Over the next 16 days, we’re looking at a real flat spell. The first solid chance for anything rideable doesn't show up until very late in the window. From now on, it's a whole lot of nothing for weeks. The models are showing nothing but tiny, weak slop and poor conditions day after day. This is one of those stretches where the ocean just goes to sleep.

The only glimmer of hope, and I mean the *only* one, pops up right at the tail end. On Wednesday morning, July 22, we finally see a bit of a pulse. A swell from the WSW pushes in at about 5 ft with a short period of 6 seconds. The combined wave energy climbs to 174, which is at least moderate. But it’s coming with a moderate onshore wind, and the word is "poor surf conditions." Honestly, that’s likely to be a bumpy, closeout mess. This spot (Kaolins) is a reef break that’s fairly exposed, and with swell this short and wind on it, it’ll be a battle. This is one for the hardcore crew or maybe the kite surfers – for a normal paddle surfer, it’s going to be a frustrating session of whitewater.

As for the water temp? Well, on the first day with any surf data, Tuesday morning July 7, it was sitting at 63°F. The anomaly is only 0.5°F, so it’s bang on average for this time of year – nothing special there.

So, what’s the call? The 22nd is the only date on the cards, and it’s not a good one. The rest of the month is basically a write-off. For this area, a blank run like this is sadly pretty normal when the weather patterns lock in. We just gotta wait for the next system to shake things up. Forecasts can change, but right now, the board stays in the bag.

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.
