Pointe du Toulinguet Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s cut to it. The next couple of weeks are pretty dry, with a real gap in quality surf for the first stretch. You’ll be sitting on the beach more than you’d like, but there’s a glimmer at the end if we’re lucky.

Starting off on Wednesday the 5th, there’s nothing doing at Pointe du Toulinget. We’re looking at 6ft of west swell, but it’s cross-onshore and choppy with winds around 12-15 mph, and the energy is weak at 286. Thursday and Friday aren’t any better—swell drops below 3ft, periods are short, and the wind is messy. You’re just not going to get a clean ride.

This Saturday and Sunday, the 8th and 9th, bring a little bit of morning clarity with some offshore breezes, but the swell’s only 1-2ft—barely a ripple. Sunday afternoon, the north wind cranks up to 22 mph and makes the surface lumpy. Not worth the paddle.

From the 10th to the 14th, it’s a flat spell. Swell sits between 2 and 4ft, with short periods, and although some mornings are clean, there’s just no power behind it. Energy readings are weak to moderate, peaking at 257 on the 14th morning, but it’s still a no-go.

Now, here comes the interesting part. On Saturday the 15th, the swell finally kicks up to nearly 6ft from the WNW with a 10-second period, and the energy jumps to 578-590. The morning is your best shot, with a light cross-shore and just a bit of chop—still marginal, but it’s the first real surf of the window. Get out early before the wind builds.

But the standout, if things fall into place, is Monday the 17th. The swell builds to around 7-8ft from the west, period 8 seconds, and the energy’s pushing 833 in the morning. It’s a big, powerful swell, but it’s cross-onshore and rough. This is definitely expert-only territory—too big and messy for most. The 18th gets even bigger, with 10ft waves and serious energy at 3263, but the sustained onshore wind is going to make it unruly. For kite surfers, this might look like heaven, but for paddle surfing, it’s a no.

After that, it backs off on the 19th and 20th, dropping to 5ft and under, with messy winds and a possible thunderstorm on the morning of the 20th.

So here’s the deal: the first 10 days are a wash. Don’t waste the petrol. The 15th might give you a fun but marginal morning, and the real juice is on the 17th—big, powerful, but rough. It’s a long-range call, so treat it with caution, but keep that date in mind.
