The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk surf. Honestly, it’s a tough run for the most part. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing much, but there’s one small window that could be magic for the right surfer.
The spot is Kaolins, a reef break that’s inconsistent and for advanced surfers only. The water is a touch warmer than average for the season, around 67°.
From Saturday the 25th of July through Monday the 3rd of August, it’s a total bust. Swell is tiny, wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, and the energy readings are weak – mostly single-digit to low double-digit values (9 to 171). You’ll see a glassy morning on Thursday the 30th of July, but with only 1ft of swell and an 8-second period, it’s not worth paddling out for.
Then comes Tuesday the 4th of August. The morning brings a 5ft swell from the WSW with an 8-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 253 – that’s moderate energy, and it’s the first real sign of life. The wind? Dead calm, glassy. That’s a huge deal. The surf report says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions,” but for Kaolins, a clean 5ft WSW swell with no wind is the best thing we’ve got. The afternoon gets messy with a cross-on wind and 4ft swell, so that Tuesday morning is your only real chance. It’s the standout. It’s an advanced, inconsistent reef, so don’t expect a crowd, but if you know the place, that’s your session.
After that, it’s back to small, weak, and choppy. A long dry spell, but that one Tuesday morning might be the only reason to wax your board.

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.
