The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Pointe du Toulinguet over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I’ve seen more promising outlooks. The next ten days or so are a real struggle. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak swell and messy wind. From Friday the 17th right through to Tuesday the 22nd, the swell is hovering around 0.7 ft to 1 ft – that’s barely a ripple. The combined energy is pathetic, sitting between 22 and 61 (weak energy), and the wind is mostly cross or cross-off, but it’s not enough to save these tiny waves. The best of that first stretch is Tuesday morning the 21st, with a glassy 1 ft from the WNW, but the period is short and the energy is just too low to get excited about. It’ll be a pond.
Then from Wednesday the 23rd, the swell starts to lift a touch. Thursday morning the 23rd sees a bump to 4 ft from the NNW, but it’s a short period windswell at 6 seconds, and the energy finally climbs a bit to 133 (moderate). The wind is cross-off though, so it’ll be clean. Still, the waves are small and weak. That theme continues into the weekend, with the swell building but the wind turning onshore from the NW. Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th are both cross-on and choppy, with swell around 4 ft – not worth paddling out for.
The first real glimmer of hope hits on Tuesday morning the 28th of July. We get a glassy, calm start with a 3 ft WNW groundswell, period of 9 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 284 (moderate). The forecast says “expect good surf conditions” and it’s the only point in the whole run that gets any score. That’s your best bet. It’s clean, glassy, and there’s some energy in the water. The swell direction is straight from the WNW, which is exactly what this point wants. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so no need for a thick wetsuit.
But don’t get too comfortable. By Tuesday afternoon, a 12 mph NW cross-on wind messes it up, and the swell jumps to 4 ft with a very long 12-second period. That long period at a point break like this is actually a good thing, but the cross-on chop will ruin the face. Wednesday the 29th and Thursday the 30th see the swell really filling in at 5 ft to 6 ft from the WNW, but the wind is straight onshore from the W at 9 to 16 mph. The energy is strong (490 to 691), but it’s going to be a messy, blown-out wall. That’s expert-only territory, and even then, it’s not pretty.
There’s nothing else on offer. The first week is a write-off, and the second week only has one standout window: Tuesday morning the 28th. If you can get out then, you’ll find clean, glassy lines. After that, it’s either onshore slop or too big to be fun.
Rusty.
