The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it. Looking at the whole 16-day window, I gotta be honest with you – it’s a rough patch. There’s no real start to speak of; the whole first week is a write-off. We’re looking at a solid 11 or 12 days of nothing worth paddling out for before we even see a glimmer of hope. The problem is a nasty run of onshore and cross-shore winds that just ruin everything. The water temp at Pointe du Toulinguet is sitting at 66°, which is about 2° warmer than average for this time of year – nothing wild, just a touch warm.
We’re stuck with Pointe du Toulinguet as the only break in the mix, and it’s a point break that’s exposed to the west. The swell mostly trundles in from the W and WNW, but the wind is almost always in the wrong place. Through the first week, from Wednesday the 12th right through to the end of the following week, it’s all “poor surf conditions” in the file. The wind is a constant cross-on or cross from the N, NW, or NNE, blowing 9 to 18 mph, sometimes even 22 mph, making for a choppy, lumpy mess. Swell heights sit around 3 ft to 4 ft, but the period is short, mostly 6 to 9 seconds, so it’s weak and messy. The combined energy is weak to moderate – you’re looking at numbers like 143, 278, 193 (moderate), but with scores of zero, it’s not worth it.
There’s a tiny flicker on Monday morning the 24th of August. The file says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions” with a score of 1. The swell is 4 ft from the W at 8 seconds, energy is moderate at 173, and the wind is light NNE at 6 mph, which is a clean cross-off. That’s the best of the whole run, but it’s a one-off, and it’s still just ordinary. The waves are small and the period is short, so it’s not going to be a standout. After that, it’s back to onshore winds and poor conditions right through to the end of the 27th.
Honestly, there’s no standout here. The whole period is a dud. If you’re desperate, that Monday morning on the 24th might give you a few clean, but tiny, waves. For the rest of it, you’re better off doing something else. The only highlight is that the spot is a point break, so when the wind *does* swing clean, it could be decent, but that’s not happening for a while. The long-range stuff late in the second week shows some bigger swell – 6 ft on the 20th, for example – but the wind is still cross-on, so it’s just a bigger mess. For a point break, a long period would be a plus, but we’re not getting that either.
So, take the long walk. The surf is not happening. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a blank run that’s normal for this area given the conditions.
Rusty.
