Pointe du Toulinguet Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Pointe du Toulinguet over the next couple of weeks. It’s a point break, so it’s built for a west swell, and that’s exactly what we’ve got lined up, but we’ve gotta wade through a lot of messy, blown-out conditions before we hit the good stuff.

Right from Monday the 14th, there’s surf on offer, but it’s tiny and marginal at 3 ft from the west with a short 9-second period. The wind’s light and cross, so it’s not a total washout, but the energy is weak (235). It’s a so-so start. Tuesday the 15th is a write-off: onshore wind and chop kill any hope, with a 6 ft swell (574 energy) that’s just messy.

Wednesday the 16th sees the swell bump up to 8 ft from the WNW, period at 10 seconds, but that north-northwest wind at 25 km/h has it cross and choppy. The energy is strong (1040), but the quality’s poor. Thursday the 17th is more of the same—onshore wind and lumpy surf up to 7 ft.

Now, Friday the 18th is where things get serious. We’ve got a 10 ft swell from the WNW with a long 14-second period. That’s a proper groundswell with strong energy (3066), but the wind is cross-onshore at 20 km/h, so it’s going to be bumpy and tough. This is big, expert-only territory—over 8 ft—and a point break like this should handle the long period well, but you’ll be battling the chop.

The whole weekend of the 19th and 20th stays onshore and average, with swell dropping to 5-6 ft. The energy is moderate (568-1549), but the wind’s just not playing ball.

Then, here’s the standout: Monday the 21st. Morning sees a clean 7 ft swell from the WNW, 14-second period, with glassy conditions—east wind at just 5 km/h. The energy is strong (1411), and the report says excellent surf for experienced surfers. This is the pick of the forecast. Crowds are possible here sometimes, so get in early. Afternoon gets a bit cross-onshore, so the morning window is your golden ticket.

Tuesday the 22nd drops off to 4 ft and smaller, and the rest of the week stays small—under 5 ft from the 23rd onward. Thursday the 24th morning has a clean 5 ft swell from the NW with offshore east wind at 25 km/h, which is clean but just okay. After that, from the 25th right through to the 29th, it’s tiny (1-2 ft) with weak energy (49-138), even though the wind is offshore. Not worth paddling out.

So, the best bet is Monday the 21st morning—get on it for clean, powerful waves. The long gap after that is almost a week of nothing worth chasing, from the 25th onward. Keep an eye on the charts, though; things can change.

Rusty.
