The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty, and I’ve got a look at the surf for Pointe du Toulinguet. Let’s be straight with you: the next week and a half is a total write-off. We’re looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak waves and poor conditions. The combined swell energy barely cracks 30 or 40 (moderate energy) for most of it, and it won’t be worth paddling out.
From Thursday the 16th right through to Wednesday the 29th of July, it’s all small, messy, or just plain flat. A few days clean but with waves around 1ft to 3ft from the west or north-northwest – that’s not enough to get excited about. The wind is often cross or cross-off, but the swell is too weak to make anything of it. The water temp is sitting at 66°F at the start, which is a touch warmer than usual for the time of year.
The first real pulse of swell shows up on Thursday the 30th of July. We get a jump to 7ft from the west-northwest with a period of 12 seconds, and the combined energy rockets up to 1281 (very strong wave energy). That’s a proper groundswell. But here’s the catch: the wind is a gentle cross-onshore breeze, making it a bit choppy, and the tide or conditions are described as marginal. This is a big, powerful swell, over 7ft, which is really only for experienced surfers, especially at a point break. The long period will make it juice up, but the wind isn’t perfect.
The best standalone window in this whole 16-day block is the morning of Sunday the 26th of July. It’s glassy, with 3ft from the west-northwest and a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is 81 (moderate). It’s tiny, but the glassy conditions mean it’ll be the cleanest, most user-friendly it gets all forecast. If you’re a beginner, this is your moment. The size is safe.
Other than that, the 30th and 31st offer size, but with onshore or cross-onshore winds and questionable conditions, it’s more of a challenge than a treat. The 31st has 7ft swell but a moderate cross-onshore chop, making it poor. For the experienced crew, the 30th morning might be worth a look, but don’t expect perfection.
Rusty.

Information about the Pointe du Toulinguet Surf forecast
