Pointe du Toulinguet Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here, looking at the forecast for Pointe du Toulinget. It’s a bit of a slow burner for the next week and a half, but there’s a genuine monster lurking at the end of the run if you’ve got the patience.

Right now, the outlook is pretty grim. There’s just no surf worth talking about through this weekend and into the start of next week. The swell is small, the winds are mostly cross-onshore, and it’s all looking sloppy. Friday the 11th sees a little bump in size to 5ft, but the cross-on wind is on it immediately, so it’s messy.

You’ll be waiting through a long, quiet stretch until we hit Monday the 14th of September. That morning, we get a little window of clean conditions. The wind swings offshore from the ESE at a light 3 mph, cleaning up a 3ft WNW swell. It’s small, but it’s the first clean wave in the forecast, so it’s worth a look if you’re desperate for a paddle.

The real standout, the one you want to circle on your calendar, is Sunday the 20th of September. The morning session is looking absolutely pumping. We’ve got a proper 12ft swell rolling in from the WNW, and here’s the magic word: glass. The wind is dead calm, completely glassy. The combined energy is a massive 1799, which is solid. Now, this size is firmly in the expert-only zone – it’s too big for beginners for sure. Don’t even think about it if you haven’t got your confidence up. That evening gets even bigger, hitting 13ft, but the wind kicks up onshore and chops it up, so stick to that Sunday morning window for the best of it.

Into the second week, Monday the 21st keeps the big energy going with a 10ft groundswell (13-second period) and clean, cross-off winds from the NNE at 12 mph. That’s excellent, but again, expert territory. Tuesday the 22nd morning shapes up unreal too: 8ft swell with a clean 3 mph offshore breeze from the NE. The energy is 1570, so it’s packing a punch.

For you guys wanting a bit more manageable size, check out Wednesday the 23rd of September. The morning shows a 6ft WNW swell with light offshore winds from the NE. That’s still punchy for a point break, and the energy is at a moderate 743, so it should have good shape without being terrifying. Thursday the 24th morning also looks insane for experts with a 8ft, 15-second groundswell and clean offshore winds. That long period will be drawing lines nicely off the point.

But for my pick of the whole 16-day window? Nothing beats that Sunday the 20th morning. Big, glassy, powerful, and that point will be handling it beautifully. Just know your limits.

Stay safe out there.
