Pointe du Toulinguet Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' for our stretch of coast, centered on Pointe du Toulinguet.

First off, I gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are gonna be a tough watch. The opening stretch is a real bummer. We're looking at a long, frustrating gap with pretty much nothing to get excited about. The first sign of any real surfable waves doesn't pop up until Tuesday the 14th of July, and even then, it's a pretty ordinary offering.

So, for the bulk of this period, from now all the way through to Monday the 13th of July, it's pretty much a write-off. We've got tiny, weak swell, a lot of choppy or cross-onshore winds, and the wave energy is just pitiful. The combined swell energy stays low, like 62 to 180 (moderate at best, but mostly weak), and the forecasters have been calling it "poor surf conditions" day after day. You'd be fighting the wind more than riding the waves, and it just ain't worth it.

Now, the one tiny window that pokes its head up is on Tuesday morning, the 14th of July. We get a bit of a light cross-offshore breeze from the NNE at 6 mph and a small bump of swell at 4 ft from the north. The period is short at just 7 seconds, so it's not gonna have much punch. The energy is moderate at 166. The water temp is sitting at 65°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – a nice little bonus if you're in. But honestly, it's only a 1 out of 10 for surfable waves. It's clean, but very ordinary.

After that, we slide right back into the doldrums. The rest of the second week looks small and messy again, with a lot of fresh breezes. Even though the wind is cross-offshore again towards the end, the swell drops right back down to tiny 2 ft and 1 ft waves. The combined wave energy drops right off a cliff, with values from 18 to 91. It's just not happening.

There are no standouts here, plain and simple. If you're desperate for a paddle, that Tuesday morning on the 14th is the only thing even close to mentionable. For the rest of it? Leave the boards in the shed and find something else to do. The ocean's taking a nap.

Rusty.
