The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's be honest with you, looking at this stretch ahead for Pointe du Toulinguet. It’s a bit of a grim picture for us paddle surfers. We've got a long stretch of poor conditions and not much to get excited about. There are no good surf options on the table for the next 16 days, and that’s the long and short of it.
We are looking at a solid gap with nothing worth your time. The first part of the week is tiny and messy, and the swell that shows up later in the window is going to be blown out and onshore. It’s one of those times where you might be better off doing something else. But hey, the spot is fairly consistent, so this kind of blank run isn't the norm. Forecasts can change, so don't lose all hope.
Early on, we're looking at a small, weak Westerly swell with short-period energy, about 6ft and only 7 seconds, hitting on Wednesday morning. The wind is a cross-onshore from the WNW at 12 mph and the water is 66°, which is about normal for this time of year. The energy is weak, around 294. It just looks messy and weak, and the conditions say it all – poor surf.
Thursday sees the swell drop to around 4ft, but a fresh NW wind kicks up in the afternoon, making it choppy. Friday and Saturday bring the tiny stuff, dropping down to 1ft. There’s a morning on Friday with a light offshore E wind, and Saturday morning is glassy with a longer-period NW swell at 11 seconds. It would be clean, but there's just no power to it. The energy is super weak, around 28 and 45. You’d be fighting for a dribble if you even bothered to paddle out.
The first real pulse of energy arrives on Sunday, the 10th of August, with the swell up to 3ft from the WNW on Monday morning. The energy gets into three digits, 163, but it’s still short period and cross-shore winds are making a mess of it. Not worth the paddle.
The next week, nothing much changes. The swell stays small and weak, with onshore and cross-shore winds messing up what little there is. The 13th and 14th see slightly better energy, up to 4ft but fresh northerly winds keep things lumpy.
The biggest swell of the forecast arrives on Sunday, the 17th of August, with a 6ft W/NW swell. But here’s the catch, it’s coming with a moderate cross-onshore wind. There’s strong energy in the water, around 582, but the quality just isn’t there for us.
Then, on the 18th of August, there’s a bit of a tease. A 7ft WNW swell with strong energy at 602, and the wave comment even suggest it might be marginal. But the wind is still on it, cross-onshore, and 7ft here with that kind of chop is a messy, bumpy thing, not the clean point surf we’d want. When it's over 8ft you'd want to be an expert, and this is still under that but the conditions are just poor. The direction is right, W is optimum, but the wind is against us. It's a no-go.
The 19th of August brings 7ft of WNW swell but a full onshore W wind, which will turn it into a complete washout. Not for us.
So, there you have it. A long stretch of flatness and low-quality windswell. For a point break like this, it looks like the setup might be a bit more interesting for the kite surfers than us paddle surfers on those windy days. Keep the board in the car, but maybe don't drive to the beach just yet.
Rusty.
