The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about the next couple of weeks at Pointe du Toulinguet.
Honestly, I’m looking at this 16-day window and it’s a real struggle for the first week and a half. The wave energy is just too weak to get excited about, and the wind is mostly messy. The water temp is sitting around 66°, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real sign of life doesn’t show up until Thursday, 13 August. The morning sees a 4ft swell from the W with a 11-second period, which is a nice groundswell pulse. The combined energy hits 345 (moderate), so there’s some real push behind it. But here’s the catch – the wind is cross-shore from the NNW at 12 mph, and it’s lumpy. That’s not ideal for a point break that wants clean conditions. By the afternoon, the wind picks up to 16 mph and goes cross-onshore, making it choppy. It’s surfable, but not a standout.
The one true standout for this whole period is Thursday, 20 August. The morning brings a solid 8ft swell from the WNW with a 9-second period, and the combined energy is a massive 912 (strong). This is a serious swell. But the wind is onshore from the WSW at 12 mph, so the surface is going to be a bumpy mess. By the afternoon, the swell holds at 8ft with a slightly longer 10-second period and the energy pushes up to 1124 (very strong). That’s a lot of ocean moving. The wind is still onshore, though, and the report says “marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions.” This is only for the experts. The size alone – over 8ft – means it’s too big for beginners. And with that onshore wind, it’s going to be a wild, bumpy beast. The W direction is a touch off the optimum W swell direction, but it’s close enough.
Friday, 21 August, the morning drops to a 6ft swell from the WNW with a 10-second period and 644 energy (moderate). The wind swings N at 6 mph, creating a light cross-shore with small ripples. That’s the cleanest we’ll see for a few days, but the swell is still big for the average punter. It’s a decent window for experienced surfers who want some power and shape.
After that, it all fades back to small, weak swells under 3ft and clean-looking but low-energy conditions. The wind stays cross-off from the NE, which is good for the face, but there’s just no push.
So, the best on offer is the big swell on Thursday, 20 August, but it’s a messy, expert-only affair. The morning of Friday, 21 August is the cleaner backup. The gap before that is a long, flat run from now until 13 August, so don’t bother waxing up until then.
Rusty.
