The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here. Let’s be real about Pointe du Toulinguet. This is a tough stretch. We’re looking at a solid 16-day window, but honestly, it’s a whole lot of "no" before we get to any kind of "go." Most of the time the wind is just wrecking what could be decent sized swell, or the swell is too small to bother with. There’s a big gap here with nothing worth paddling out for.
The first real bit of hope doesn’t show up until Thursday the 4th of September. Up until then, it’s a grim watch. You’ll see some size earlier, like a 8ft WNW swell on the 20th of August, but with a solid 12 mph onshore wind, it’s just a messy, blown-out disaster. That same pattern repeats over and over: swell shows up, wind kills it. There’s a brief moment on the 22nd of August with tiny 3ft NW swell and a light NE breeze, but it’s just too small to get excited about. The water temp is sitting right around 65°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so at least you won’t need a thick suit.
The standout, and the only day I’d really mark on the calendar, is the morning of Friday the 4th of September. We’ve got a clean 6ft swell rolling in from the NW with a period of 8 seconds, and the wind is a gentle offshore from the ENE at 9 mph. This is the magic combo. That offshore breeze will groom the point into proper shape. The energy is moderate at 467, so there’s enough push for a fun session. This is the one to aim for. It’s not a giant day, but it’ll be clean and surfable. The break is fairly consistent, but you might run into a few others with the same idea, as crowds are sometimes an issue here.
The afternoon of the 4th drops off a little, with a 4ft WNW swell and a light cross-shore wind. It’s still rideable, but the morning is the real winner. The rest of the window is a write-off, with onshore gales, storms, and lumpy conditions making it a total no-go. If you’re a kite surfer, some of those windy, choppy days might look fun, but for a paddle, forget it.
Rusty.
