Pointe du Toulinguet Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. We’re looking at a solid stretch of time ahead, but I gotta be straight with you – it’s a long wait for anything decent. The first recommendation doesn’t kick in until July 30th, so that’s more than a week of flat or hopeless conditions to sit through. We’re talking tiny, weak swells, messy winds, and a lot of “poor surf conditions” from the get-go. You’ll be waiting a while.

Right now, into the first week, it’s a tough watch. The swell is small, often under 2ft, and the wind is rarely doing us any favours. There’s a moment on Sunday the 19th with a bit of a north-northwest wind and a clean offshore breeze in the morning, but the swell is still on the small side, around 2ft, and the period is short at 6 seconds. That’s not one to get excited about. The water temperature is reading 67°F which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s a nice little bonus if you’re brave enough to get in the water during the flat spells.

The real standout, the only one worth circling on your calendar, is Thursday July 30th. That’s when we finally see a bump in energy. The morning session holds the best potential. At Pointe du Toulinguet, we’re looking at a swell of 4ft from the west-northwest with a 6-second period. The combined energy is moderate at 163, and the wind is a clean cross-off breeze from the north-northwest. That’s going to give you some proper, clean waves. The crowd report says “sometimes,” so you might not be all alone, but it’s not a zoo. The swell direction is a solid match for the optimum westerly swell. This is your best bet. The afternoon gets a bit lumpy with a cross-shore chop, so get on it early.

The rest of the run into the end of the month is more of the same – small, onshore, and choppy. Not much to write home about. The 30th is the only day that really stands out.

Stay patient, keep an eye on the forecasts, and I’ll catch you out there.
