Pointe du Toulinguet Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking at Pointe du Toulinget.

Right off the bat, the next few days are a bit of a write-off. We’ve got some waist-high swell around Thursday and Friday, but it’s coming in with a cross-onshore wind and the energy is weak to moderate. The water temp is sitting at 64°, which is about normal for this time of year, so nothing to get excited about there. Honestly, it’s messy and choppy—not worth paddling out for.

Saturday and Sunday are a bit of a tease. The swell picks up a touch, with Saturday morning seeing 3ft from the west, but it’s still cross-onshore and choppy. Sunday morning has a bit more push at 6ft from the WNW, with a longer 11-second period, which gives it some grunt. But the wind is still cross-onshore, so it’s not clean. It’s marginal at best.

Now, Monday morning 14th September is where it starts to look interesting. We’ve got a glassy morning with a light SSE breeze, and a clean 3ft swell from the west at 9 seconds. That’s a small window of clean, fun surf, but it’s not going to last—the afternoon gets messy again.

After that, we hit a bit of a lull. Tuesday the 15th has a tiny 2ft swell with onshore wind, and Wednesday the 16th sees a big jump in size (8ft) but it’s lumpy, cross-shore, and the wind is howling at 19 mph. That’s more of a kite session than a paddle session. The energy is strong, but the quality is poor.

The real standout, and I mean the one to circle on your calendar, is Thursday the 24th of September. We’ve got a clean 8ft swell from the WNW early in the morning, with light offshore winds from the ESE. That’s solid, powerful surf, and it’s clean. The afternoon stays clean but the wind goes cross-onshore, so get in early.

But the absolute best of the whole 16-day window is Friday the 25th of September. This is a proper swell. 12ft from the WNW with a very long 14-second period, giving it massive energy. The wind is offshore from the east at 9 mph, and conditions are described as excellent for experienced surfers. This is a serious groundswell—long period, big energy, and clean. It’s going to be breaking straight and powerful at the beach breaks, but for a point break like Pointe du Toulinget, this is going to be firing. This is one for the experts only, though—over 8ft, it’s not for beginners. The crowd could be around, so be ready for company.

In summary, the first week is mostly poor to marginal, with a small window of clean fun on Monday morning the 14th. The second week brings a massive, clean groundswell on the 24th and 25th, with the 25th being the absolute standout. Don’t sleep on that one.

Rusty.
