Pointe du Toulinguet Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, it's Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Pointe du Toulinguet has got cooking for us over the next couple of weeks.

We're starting off a bit rough, honestly. The first few days are a bit of a write-off thanks to messy winds. There's some solid swell coming in, but the conditions just aren't playing ball. The water temp is sitting at about 65°, which is pretty much what you'd expect for this time of year, so no surprises there. We've got to wait until Saturday the 12th before things really start to look good, which is a bit of a drag. The wait will be worth it though.

The best session on offer is looking like Saturday morning on the 12th. The winds will be glassy out of the northeast at just 3 mph, and we'll have a clean 3 ft swell wrapping in from the northwest. The period is a very long 15 seconds, which means it's a proper groundswell – look for those waves to really wrap in and offer some shape, but at this size, it'll be super mellow. The combined energy reading is 495, which is a nice moderate, workable amount of juice. Keep in mind that Pointe du Toulinguet is a point break, and with a longer period like that, it should handle the swell beautifully.

Moving into the second week, there's another standout firing up. Mark your calendars for Friday the 18th, specifically the morning. We're looking at clean, head-high waves around 6 ft out of the west-northwest, with a period of 11 seconds. The wind will be offshore from the east at 12 mph, making for some clean, lined-up walls. The combined energy is a strong 867, so there's plenty of push behind it. This is the one for the experienced crew looking for a proper session.

About a week later, Sunday the 20th morning is another one to circle. Offshore winds from the east at 6 mph will groom a solid 6 ft west-northwest swell. The period is a meaty 12 seconds and the combined energy check is 1031 – that's strong. This is solid, clean surf that'll have the point working, but at that size, it's for the competent surfers only. Beginners will want to sit this one out.

Before these standouts, the surf from the 15th to the 16th is also worth a look if you're keen. Tuesday the 15th morning has clean 5 ft waves with a light cross-offshore breeze, and Wednesday the 16th morning has similar 6 ft conditions with a moderate offshore breeze, but conditions will get a bit choppier as the day goes on.

So, to sum it up: it's a slow start, but there's some absolute gold waiting for you on Saturday the 12th morning, and then again on Friday the 18th and Sunday the 20th mornings. Get out there when the wind plays nice.

Rusty.
