Pointe du Toulinguet Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G'day, Rusty here, lookin' at the surf for the next couple of weeks around Pointe du Toulinget. It's a bit of a mixed bag, with a whole lot of nothing before we finally get a window of something worthwhile. The spot itself is a point break, exposed to the west, so it needs the right angle.

The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing to write home about.

Alright, let's get into it. There's a big gap of poor conditions at the start. From Friday the 24th through to Sunday the 26th, it's junk. Onshore winds, messy, small lumpy waves—you're better off doing something else. Monday the 27th finally shows a glimmer. The morning session is where it's at. The wind goes glassy, dead calm, off the NNW at just 3 mph, and the swell is a clean 5 ft from the WNW. The period is a solid 9 seconds, so there's some real push to it. The combined energy is moderate (404). It's a point break, so that longer period will wrap in nicely. This is the standout of the whole forecast—crystal clean conditions and a decent size. Get on it early.

Monday afternoon gets chopped up by the cross-onshore wind, so it's a morning-only deal.

After that, it’s back to ordinary for a stretch. Tuesday the 28th has a morning with offshore wind from the east at 3 mph, but the swell drops to 3 ft. It's surfable but nothing special. Wednesday the 29th morning is glassy again but the swell is only 3 ft. Small and clean, maybe for a log.

The real action looks like it might pop up again on August 1st, which is a Saturday—that's over a week away, so take it with a pinch of salt. The morning shows a 5 ft swell from the WNW with a long 11-second period, giving a very strong combined energy (1187). That's a lot of power. But the wind is a cross-shore from the SSW at 9 mph, making it a bit lumpy. The forecast calls it marginal, likely due to tide. It could be a big, powerful point wave, but the wind might spoil it. It's promising but not a lock.

Sunday the 2nd of August morning has a similar story, with a 8 ft, 11-second period swell from the WNW. That's a lot of water (1273 energy), but it's a touch on the big side for a fun paddle, and the wind is cross-on. It's likely just for the experienced crew if the wind holds.

The rest of the run into the second week drops right off again. Small, weak, and onshore. From the 3rd of August through to the 8th, it's a write-off. Waves are tiny, energy is low, and the wind is all over the shop. A few days of rain and t-storms in there too.

So, to sum it up: the one true standout is Monday morning, 27th July. Glassy, clean, 5 ft of WNW swell at Pointe du Toulinget. Get in the water. The long-range stuff on August 1st and 2nd has size and power, but the wind is a question mark.

Stay salty,
Rusty
