Pointe du Toulinguet Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.

We’ve got a pretty grim run ahead for Pointe du Toulinguet. The whole 16-day window is a struggle, with only one real moment that might get the heart rate up.

The first decent opportunity doesn’t show up until Tuesday morning, July 28th. That morning, we’ve got a clean 4ft swell rolling in from the WNW with a period of 10 seconds, and the wind is glassy out of the east. The water is sitting at 65°, which is about average for this time of year. The combined energy is moderate (226). It’s a small, clean snippet of surf, but that’s the best we’ll see for a while. After that, it’s a long, ugly stretch of poor conditions. From Tuesday afternoon all the way through to Monday, August 10th, the wind is onshore, cross-onshore, or just too strong, and the swell barely cracks 3ft if it’s lucky. The wind state is a mess – cross-chop, lumpy, choppy. It’s a kite surfer’s playground, not a paddle surfer’s. There are nearly two full weeks of this junk.

The only real standout that’s worth paying attention to is a long-range promise. On Tuesday morning, August 11th, the swell jumps up to 7ft from the WSW with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is strong (573). The wind is light out of the SSW, keeping it cross-shore and clean. Look, 7ft is a solid size, but at that height, it’s getting into expert territory for most, and with a short period, it’ll be a bit walled up. Still, after weeks of nothing, this is the one to circle. The wind stays light, and it’s the only morning where the conditions align. The afternoon of the 11th gets messy with a cross-onshore, and the 12th is also cross-onshore, so don’t sleep on that Tuesday morning window. It’s a long way off, so keep an eye on it, but it’s promising.

If you’re desperate, that Tuesday morning, July 28th, is your only near-term clean little session. For everything else, save your energy.

Rusty.
