Pointe du Toulinguet Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Well, folks, it’s Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with you: the next couple of weeks are looking pretty bleak for a proper paddle. We’re checking out Pointe du Toulinget, and honestly, most of this stretch is a write-off. The water’s sitting at 67°F, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, so if you’re just after a dip, fine. But for surfing? You’re gonna be fighting for scraps.

The whole 16-day window is basically one long flat spell with some wind chop thrown in to keep things annoying. We’ve got a few mornings with clean conditions, like the 2nd, 7th, and the 12th, when light offshore or glassy winds show up, but the swell is just pathetic – we’re talking 0.2m to 0.4m. Not enough to push a surfboard let alone get a ride. The energy in the water is weak too, with readings like 34, 43, and 82 – all double-digit, meaning there’s just nothing doing.

There’s a tiny blip of hope on the 5th, when the swell bumps up to 1.5m from the W with a period of 8 seconds, and the energy finally gets into three digits at 256. But the wind is cross-onshore and choppy, so it’s likely to look like a washing machine. Not worth getting excited about.

The 12th morning is probably the closest we get to decent: 0.7m of W swell, a 9-second period, and glassy conditions. The energy is still weak at 82, but at least the surface might be smooth. If you’re desperate, that’s your window. But don’t expect much.

After that, the 15th brings a longer-period swell – 11 seconds – but it’s only 0.4m and the wind is onshore, to be honest, there’s no saving that.

So here’s the deal: nothing in this 16-day forecast is worth your time if you actually want to catch a wave. The consistency is poor, the swell directions are all over the place, and the winds are mostly cross-shore or onshore. For an exposed point like this, it’s a total bust. If you’re into kitesurfing, maybe some of those windier afternoons might get you going, but for a surfer? Put the board away.

It’s a rough patch, but it won’t last forever. Forecasts change, and with a spot like this, it can turn on a dime. But as it stands, I’d say park the car, have a coffee, and watch the horizon.

Stay salty,
Rusty
