The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s shaping up for Pointe du Toulinguet.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a pretty grim start. The first week of this 16-day run is a write-off. Sunday the 19th through to Saturday the 26th of July is basically a flat spell, with tiny wave heights that never get above 4 ft. The swell is short period, weak, and the wind is all over the place, mostly cross-off or cross-shore but not doing us any favours. The combined wave energy is in the doldrums, barely hitting triple digits. It’s just not worth paddling out.
Now, hang in there. Things start to change from Monday the 27th, but it’s not good news yet. The swell picks up to 5 ft and 6 ft by Tuesday the 28th, and the energy jumps up to 525 (moderate) and then 585 (strong), but the wind is onshore or cross-onshore, and the whole thing is messy. Avoid it.
The real standout window is Wednesday the 29th of July. That morning is a full-on gem. We’ve got a clean 6 ft of WNW swell, with a period of 9 seconds, pushing a whopping 1026 of combined energy. The real story is the wind: glassy. Absolutely dead calm with a slight air. That’s top-tier stuff. It’s going to be a rippable morning, but this is only for experienced surfers because that size is pushing into expert territory. The afternoon gets chopped up by NW cross-onshore winds, so make the most of the morning.
There’s a second promising window later in the run. On Monday the 3rd of August, the morning looks clean once again. We’re seeing 5 ft of W swell, period of 9 seconds, with proper offshore easterly winds blowing at just 6 mph. The energy is 355 (moderate), and the conditions are described as clean. That’s a solid morning session.
The end of the month and into August is a bit of a mixed bag. The swell gets bigger, pushing 7 ft to 7 ft, but the wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore, creating choppy conditions. The energy is strong to very strong, but the quality isn’t there for a paddle. Honestly, with that much swell and the wind, it might be a kite-surfing day rather than a surfing one.
So, to sum it up: the first week is a dud. The best bet on the whole chart is the morning of Wednesday the 29th of July for the glassy, clean conditions. The morning of Monday the 3rd of August is a good backup with offshore winds, but less energy. The rest of the second week is big, raw, and windy. Keep your eyes on the morning of the 29th for a proper session.
Rusty.
