The Lowdown
Alright, rust heads, let's get into it. This is Rusty, and I'm looking at the outlook for Pointe du Toulinguet, and to be honest, for the next two weeks, it's looking pretty grim. The whole 16-day window is a real struggle. For the first nine days, from Thursday the 13th all the way through to Saturday the 22nd of August, there’s just nothing doing. The swell is tiny and the wind is all wrong—cross-shore and cross-onshore. It’s a write-off.
That Saturday morning the 22nd, we get a brief moment of glassy conditions with the wind dropping out completely, but the swell is barely a ripple at 2ft, so it’s a flat day. The wait continues.
Now, the one glimmer of hope, and it's a long-range one, is on Sunday the 23rd of August. We get a pulse of WNW swell pushing in at 7ft, with a period of 8 seconds and a solid combined energy of 594. It's a moderate pulse of energy. The morning starts with a S wind of 3 mph, which is cross, so it’s light and clean for a bit. But the water temp is sitting around 66°, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing to write home about there. This is a point break that likes a W swell, and this is coming from WNW, so it's not ideal.
The problem is the afternoon on Sunday, the 23rd, the wind swings to SW at 12 mph and goes cross-onshore, ruining it. And the next day, Monday the 24th, we’ve got onshore wind and rain. The swell stays up around 7ft to 6ft, but it gets chopped out. This is only suitable for experts at that size.
Honestly, the entire 16 days are a bust for quality paddle surfing. If you were hoping for clean waves, you are out of luck.
Rusty.
