The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it.
The next week and a half is looking pretty grim around these parts. We’ve got a solid swell window coming in, but the wind is just going to be all over it, ruining any real chance of decent surf. It’s one of those frustrating times where the ocean has the size but just can’t get it together. A lot of poor conditions and onshore junk. We’re looking at a long stretch of waiting before anything really clicks.
Thursday (20th) kicks things off on a rough note. There’s a solid 8ft of WNW swell mixing with the strong onshore W wind at 16 mph. It’s just a complete mess out there. The energy is strong, reading 1551, but it’s all for nothing with these conditions.
Friday (21st) isn’t much better. We’re down to 6ft, but the wind stays cross-onshore and it’s still pretty choppy. There’s a moment on Friday morning with lighter winds and a cross-offshore at Pointe du Toulinguet, but the swell is marginal and the tide is questionable. Not enough to get excited about.
The surf nearly flatlines into the weekend. Saturday (22nd) has dribbles under 3ft, clean but tiny. By Sunday (23rd) and Monday (24th), there’s almost nothing left, just small windswell junk. The energy levels have bottomed out, reading 14 and 9, and it's not worth paddling out for.
We start to see a pulse of new energy around Tuesday (25th), but it’s all over the place. A rising 4ft and then 5ft swell shows up on Wednesday (26th), but the winds are still onshore and choppy. The energy is picking up, hitting 294, but the quality is just not there.
Thursday the 27th brings in a little more size around 6ft, with the combined energy climbing to 687. But again, the wind is cross-onshore and messy. It’s frustrating.
Friday the 28th and Saturday the 29th are just more of the same—on-shore winds, junky conditions, and waves in the 5ft to 6ft range. The energy levels are moderate, in the 400-600 bracket, but it’s all blown out.
Then, on Sunday the 30th, things get dangerous. The winds are screaming, a near gale from the SW at 31 mph, blowing the 7ft swell into a complete stormy chaos. This isn't surfing weather; this is survival weather. That setup looks way more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The start of next week, Monday the 31st, remains lumpy and cross-onshore with a fresh breeze. I’m not seeing any reason to get in the water until later.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Tuesday, September 1st. The wind finally looks like it might ease up. We’ve got a 7ft WNW swell on the table, and the morning lights up with a cross-offshore breeze. This is the first day in over a week where the conditions might actually line up for Pointe du Toulinguet. This is the standout, or at least the most promising option. The swell’s direction is right in line with what the break wants. It’s a week and a half away, so take it with a grain of salt, but it’s something to aim for.
Wednesday the 2nd and Thursday the 3rd are still a bit of a gamble. The size is there, but the wind is onshore again. Thursday afternoon does see a big pulse of 10ft swell from the WSW, but the period is short at 9 seconds, and the wind is cross-shore. Only for the experts at that size.
As we get into Friday the 4th, the swell drops back a bit to 8ft, but the energy is still strong at 1496. It’s still a wash with the winds. Looks like we’ll be waiting on that Tuesday window.
Stay tuned, check back closer to the date. That Tuesday (Sep 1st) is the one to circle.
