The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s run through the same outlook but in feet and knots for the regular crew.
Looking at this forecast, it’s a pretty grim run of swell for the next couple of weeks, and I’m not gonna sugarcoat it. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with hardly anything worth paddling out for.
The only real name on the map here is Pointe du Toulinguet, a point break that’s fairly consistent and exposed to the west. Water temp is sitting at about 66°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might not need the thickest wetsuit, but that’s about the only good news.
We’ve got a massive gap of poor conditions. From Friday the 17th right through to the morning of Monday the 28th of July, every single session is rated as poor surf conditions. The swell is tiny, often just 1 foot, and what little energy comes through is weak. The winds are mostly cross or cross-on, and the few clean moments with cross-off winds are still with no swell to speak of. It’s a total write-off for nearly eleven days.
Finally, on the morning of Monday the 28th of July, we get a tiny window. The wind goes completely glassy, calm air, with a 3-foot swell from the west-northwest at 8 seconds. The combined energy hits 160, which is still only moderate. It’s described as "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." To be honest, it’s the only thing on the whole forecast that barely scrapes a mention. It’s not a standout, it’s just the only option. The swell direction is WNW, but the optimum for this spot is W, so it’s not even that ideal a match. If you’re desperate, you could get a few knee-high dribblers in the glass, but keep your expectations on the floor.
After that, we’re back into poor conditions right through to the 1st of August. The swell picks up a bit around the 26th, with 5-6 feet from the NW, but it’s all cross-on wind, so it’s messy and lumpy. That’s more a kite-surfing setup than a paddle-friendly day.
So, bottom line: there’s nothing to get excited about. The one glassy morning on the 28th is the only thing that even qualifies as a surf, and it’s barely that. Hang tight, and maybe give the board a rest.
Rusty.
