Pointe du Toulinguet Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. We’re looking at a stretch that’s going to test your patience before it rewards you. For the next week or so, Pointe du Toulinguet is going to be a messy, blown-out mess. We’re talking cross-onshore winds, lumpy chop, and a whole lot of frustration. The swell is there, but it’s not organized, and the wind is just going to ruin any chance of clean waves. Honestly, for the first few days, you’re better off finding something else to do. There’s a bit of a pulse on the 29th, but with strong onshore winds and a stormy vibe, it’s just not going to be any fun. It’s the kind of surf that looks better from the car park than it does sitting in the lineup.

We’ve got this gap from now until around the 4th of September where it’s just poor. The swell energy is weak to moderate, and it’s just not doing anything for us. Then, from the 4th, we start to see some more size, but the wind is still nasty, cross-onshore and lumpy. It’s a real shame because there’s some energy in the water, but it’s all over the place. The 5th of September, that’s the one that should be on your radar. Early morning, the wind drops right off, leaving it glassy. The swell is up to 8ft with a long 12-second period from the west. The energy jumps right up to 1953, so there’s some proper power in it. This is a standout for the more experienced crew. It's a point break, so that long period should wrap in nicely. I’d be checking the tide though, as the afternoon looks a bit more questionable and it’s a bit of a margin call then. The morning is where it’s at.

After that little window, we slip back into the same pattern. The 6th has some size, 8ft, but the wind is cross-shore and then cross-onshore in the arvo which puts a cap on it. The 7th is a write-off with more onshore wind and chop. Then the 8th is interesting. We get a cross-offshore wind, which will clean it up, but the swell has dropped right down to 5ft with a moderate energy of 412. It’s clean, but small and not the same quality as the 5th. Then it’s back to messy again for the 9th and 10th.

The long game is looking quiet. The 10th and 11th just don’t have much going on. The swell drops away and the energy fades, so there’s nothing to get excited about. It’s a back-to-reality kind of end to the run.

So, if you’re looking for the one, it’s the morning of the 5th. Glassy, solid, and some real power. It’s not for the beginners, 8ft is serious, but for the experienced surfer, it’s the best we get in this whole window. The water temp is sitting around 64°, which is pretty average for this time of year.

Rusty.
