Table - best surf conditions forecast for Pointe du Toulinguet over the next 16 days.
G’day, Rusty here. Tough one for the Brittany coast this week, to be honest. Pointe du Toulinguet is copping a right dose of ordinary conditions for the most part. The water temp is a solid 66°, which is a fair bit warmer than normal for July – that’s a nice little bonus for the skin, makes the wait a bit more pleasant.
We’ve got a real gap in quality surf here. From Wednesday the 8th right through, it’s pretty much all poor surf conditions. Morning of the 8th, you’ve got a tiny 3ft WNW swell with a 10-second period and glassy conditions, but the energy is weak (109) and the comment says it’s poor – so not worth paddling out. The wind swings around and stiffens up from the NNW in the afternoon, turning it cross and choppy. Thursday and Friday don’t offer much more: a bit of clean-looking water on Thursday morning with a cross-off breeze, but the swell’s only 3ft and the combined energy is modest (142). Friday morning finally shows a one-out-of-ten quality moment – 3ft swell from the WNW with a light offshore from the ENE and clean conditions (176 combined energy). That’s the best of a pretty average first week, but still just “surfable but very ordinary.” The rest of that first week into the weekend fades away, with swell dropping to 1ft and energy down into the 40s and 30s, all with strong cross-off winds.
There’s then a long stretch from about the 12th into the 18th where you really wouldn’t bother. Swell barely registers – 0.3ft, 0.6ft – and even when there’s a little bump, the wind’s howling or the direction’s all wrong. Saturday the 18th shows a bit of pulse: 4ft from the NNW with a light cross breeze, and combined energy jumps to 187, but the conditions are still poor and the period is short at 8 seconds. Not calling it surfable.
Now, the one standout window looks to be Sunday the 19th and especially Monday the 20th. Sunday afternoon is the first true highlight: glassy conditions, no wind, a 7ft swell from the WNW with an 8-second period, and combined energy up to 489. That’s moderate-to-strong wave energy kicking in, and the comment says “expect good surf conditions.” Monday morning the 20th is the absolute pick of the whole forecast – a 8ft WNW swell with a 9-second period, combined energy hitting 807 (that’s strong), a cross-off breeze from the NNE, and a clean report saying “expect very good surf conditions.” This is a proper swell. For Pointe du Toulinguet, that optimum direction is W, and we’re getting WNW – close enough. The size is well over 5ft, so this is not for beginners. At 8ft it’s pushing into expert-only territory, especially with that long-ish period meaning the waves will have punch and power. But for a point break like this, that’s a good combo – it’ll line up nicely. Monday afternoon, though, the wind cranks up from the north at 19 mph, crossing up the surface and smashing the quality, so don’t sleep in – get on it early Monday morning.
After that, the following days drop back to poor conditions, with onshore and cross-onshore winds messing up the leftovers.
So, bottom line: the first week and a half is flat and poor, with only a tiny window Friday morning the 10th if you’re desperate. The real action is Sunday arvo the 19th and that Monday morning the 20th – that’s the one to aim for. Get in early Monday. Rest of the run, you’re better off on the beach with a beer.
