Pointe du Toulinguet Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, listen up. The start of this stretch is a bit of a dud. Thursday’s a write-off – onshore junk, weak swell, just messy. You’re not missing anything.

Then Friday morning, the 11th, that’s our first taste. 2ft to maybe 5ft of west swell rolling into Pointe du Toulinguet (Pointdu-Toulinget) with a 9-second period, and it’s flat calm – dead glass. That’s the kind of morning you just drop everything. It’s clean and fun on the point, with moderate energy. That’s your first real window.

The weekend is iffy. Saturday’s got some waves but the wind is cross-on and the tide looks weird. Sunday bumps up to 5-6ft, but again that cross-onshore breeze will chop it up. It’s a fight, not a glide. Maybe the early morning is okay, but it’s a step down from Friday.

Monday the 14th is worth setting the alarm for. Clean little 3ft west swell with a light cross-offshore wind, water temp is about normal for this time of year. Small, but clean. Not a lot of power behind it, but for a groveler or a longboard it could be real fun.

Then we hit the lull. From Tuesday through the following Monday, it’s mostly poor. Strong north winds on the 16th and 17th will just wreck things. There’s a brief glassy window on Saturday the 19th with a small 3ft west-northwest swell, but it’s weak. Then it’s back to chop and onshores. For the better part of a week, we’re dealing with a proper dead spell.

Now, pay attention. Sunday the 20th – that’s a week out, so treat this as promising, not certain. The charts are showing a big, serious swell: a 11ft-plus west-northwest groundswell with a long 15-second period. The energy is massive – over 6500, which is huge. The morning is looking clean with light offshore winds. This is a dangerous, powerful wave. This is for experts only – anything over 8ft is serious, and this is way beyond that. For the heavy crew, this is the one. The point is going to be cranking. By the afternoon, the wind turns cross-on and it gets messy, but that morning could be an all-timer.

Monday the 21st is still solid – around 7ft with a 12-second period, clean early, strong energy. Another one for the confident surfers. After that, it fades back down to smaller, less inspiring stuff.

So here’s the deal: a couple of quick clean windows right at the start, a long scratchy middle section where you gotta be patient, and then one big, serious swell at the end of it all. That’s the one to get ready for, but don’t bank on it just yet. Keep watching.

Rusty.
