The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down in terms you can feel. Pointe du Toulinget is a point break that’s fairly consistent, exposed to the west, and likes swell from the west. Water temp is about 66°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year.
Right now, Tuesday the 11th is flat. Tiny 1ft swell from the WNW, 8-second period, and a north wind messin’ things up. Energy is weak at 48. Not worth talkin’ about.
Wednesday the 12th through the 14th is a slow crawl. Wednesday morning shows 3ft from the west with a 10-second period and a light south cross-off breeze, so the surf is clean, but energy is only 124. Thursday morning gets a little better—4ft from the west, 11-second period, energy at 330—but the northwest wind is cross-on and choppy. Friday morning is similar, 3ft, cross-on wind, light ripples.
The weekend, Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th, is a write-off. Strong north winds, short 7-second period swells, and lumpy chop. Energy peaks Saturday afternoon at 298 but it’s messy.
Monday the 17th is flat. 1ft waves, onshore wind, energy down to 28. Don’t bother.
Tuesday the 18th and Wednesday the 19th see a bump in size—5ft to 7ft—but it’s all short-period windswell, 7-8 seconds, and cross-onshore winds keep it lumpy. Energy is moderate, peaking at 578 Wednesday afternoon, but quality is poor. More kite-surfing than clean surf.
Now, here’s the standout: Thursday the 20th of August. This is the one. Glassy in the morning with a light WSW breeze, a solid 10ft swell from the WNW with a long 12-second period, and energy is strong at 2743. That’s a proper groundswell—powerful, long gaps between sets. Pointe du Toulinget is a point break, so it’ll wrap in nicely, giving you clean, well-shaped waves. But at 10ft, this is for experienced surfers only. Thursday afternoon is still big but onshore wind makes it more marginal.
Friday the 21st morning is another good one. Swell drops to 7ft from the WNW, 10-second period, and a light NNE cross-off breeze keeps the surf clean. Energy is still strong at 1435. This is a high-quality session, still for advanced surfers, but more manageable.
After that, it fades. Saturday the 22nd through Wednesday the 26th is a mix of onshore wind, lumpy conditions, and poor surf. Monday the 24th morning has a big 12ft swell from the west with 9-second period and massive energy at 3503, but onshore wind and short period make it a messy, powerful beast.
So, the first week is a dud. The real action is on the 20th and 21st of August. Thursday morning is the best of the best—glassy, strong, long-period groundswell. Friday morning is a close second, cleaner but a little smaller. The rest is a gamble or a washout.
