Pointe du Toulinguet Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for the next couple of weeks.

The first few days of September are a write-off, honestly. We’ve got a mix of onshore wind and junky conditions until things finally start to turn around.

The first real hope arrives on the morning of Saturday the 5th. The wind swings light offshore from the east and the swell pushes up to 7ft from the west-northwest, with a very long period of 13 seconds. That’s proper groundswell, and the combined energy is strong at 1308. Pointe du Toulinguet, a point break that’s exposed to the west, will be set up for clean, lined-up waves. This is a standout for the whole window, but it’s going to be a powerful one. At that size and with that period, it’s only for experienced surfers. The water temp is about average for the time of year at 64°.

After that, the rest of the first week and into the second gets messy again. We get a few days of onshore wind and lumpy surf, with poor conditions until the following Sunday.

Now, look further ahead. The morning of Sunday the 13th sees a bit of a mystery. There’s a 5ft west-northwest swell with an 11-second period, and the wind is forecast to be glassy from the south. That’s going to be a very clean, smooth session, with moderate energy (616). It’s worth a look for a mellow, fun paddle.

But the real long-range standout is still a week and a half out. On the morning of Tuesday the 15th, we’ve got a 4ft west-northwest swell running with a massive 18-second period. That is an incredibly long groundswell, generating a very strong combined energy of 1391. The wind will be cross-off from the northeast, keeping it clean. This is a promising setup for a point break like this, but keep in mind that such a long period can make a beach break close out; here at the point, it should draw those long lines in. Then, on the morning of Wednesday the 16th, the wind goes light offshore from the east with a 7ft west-northwest swell at 14 seconds. That’s excellent, powerful conditions for the experienced crew, with energy reading 1564. These two mornings in the second week are the ones to circle on the calendar, but you know how it is, long-range forecasts can shift.

A few days later, the morning of Thursday the 17th glass off again, with a small 4ft west-northwest swell. It’s a nice little clean-up session for anyone who just wants to get wet.

Overall, don’t waste your time on the first few days. The best bet is that Saturday the 5th morning, and then keep an eye on the 15th and 16th.

Rusty.
