Pointe du Toulinguet Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. Rusty here, looking at the 16-day window for Pointe du Toulinguet.

Honestly, I gotta be straight with you—this is a tough stretch. The forecast keeps throwing up “poor surf conditions” labels across the board. There’s a real lack of any decent swell-wind alignment. The overall pattern is flat and messy, with only a few moments that are even worth paddling out for, and even then, it’s more about the conditions being okay rather than the surf being good.

The first real chance to get wet comes on Monday, July 27th, in the morning. We’ve got a 6 ft swell rolling in from the WNW with a period of 10 seconds. That’s a moderate energy event (combined energy of 501). The wind is from the NNW at 9 mph, creating a cross-shore situation. It’s not clean, but it’s the most size we’ll see all week, and the period is decent enough to get some shape. Still, the afternoon of the same day gets messy with stronger cross-shore winds, so the morning is the only window.

Then on Tuesday, July 28th, the morning offers a brief reprieve. The swell drops to 3 ft from the WNW, period at 9 seconds (176 combined energy), but here’s the kicker—easterly wind at 6 mph, which is offshore for this spot. That means clean, glassy faces. The crowd factor is “sometimes,” so you might get a few others out, but with the surf so small, it’ll be manageable. This is probably the best you’ll get: clean conditions, but the swell is small.

The only other standout is way out there on Monday, August 3rd, in the morning. Dead calm, glassy conditions, with a 3 ft swell from the west, period 8 seconds. Combined energy is 102. It’s small, but if you’re desperate for a clean longboard session, that’s your window.

The gaps are real. The first week is mostly blown out or tiny. There’s a stretch from Thursday July 23rd through Sunday July 26th where it’s either flat, onshore, or both. Then after the Tuesday morning window, it goes quiet again until Monday August 3rd. After that, the final week of the forecast is a whole lot of nothing—swell drops to 1.0-2 ft with poor winds.

The water temperature is sitting at 64°F, which is about 0.5°F above normal for this time of year. Nothing wild, just a touch warmer than average.

Honestly, for this spot, it’s a period of waiting. The east wind days are your best bet for clean conditions, but the swell is just too small to get excited about. If you’re an intermediate surfer, the Monday July 27th morning might be your pick for a bit of push, but it’s not clean. The Tuesday July 28th morning is cleaner but smaller. Really, nothing here is a “standout” in the classic sense—just a couple of windows that are better than the rest.

Stay patient, keep an eye on the charts. This ain’t the time to be calling in sick.

Rusty.
