The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here. Let’s not beat around the bush – the next couple of weeks at Pointe du Toulinget are a real mixed bag. We’ve got plenty of swell on the way, but the wind is going to be a stubborn bastard for most of it, making it tough to find a clean window. Hang tight, because there are a couple of promising mornings right at the end of the run.
The first real chance to get wet comes on Saturday, 5th September. We’re looking at a clean morning with a light, cross-offshore breeze from the NE at 6 mph. The swell is a modest 5 ft out of the WNW with a solid 10-second period, giving the waves a bit of shape. The combined energy is moderate (365). This is the best on offer – a nice, clean point break session. Conditions are set to go downhill that afternoon though, so get your dawn patrol in.
Sunday, 6th September, is another stand-out, but it’s for the early birds only. The morning is glassy with a whisper of an ESE breeze at 3 mph. The swell is a little smaller, at 3 ft, but still coming from the west with a 10-second period, making for very clean, surfable lines. The energy is moderate (225). It’s a quick window, but those dawn patrols will be pure magic.
The rest of the period is a write-off. The water is sitting at a pretty average 65° for the time of year, nothing to write home about. From the 26th of August right through to the end of the 4th of September, we’ve got a combination of strong onshore winds, messy conditions, and even a few days of hefty, blown-out swell. Friday the 29th of August sees a 10 ft SW swell with a 25 mph cross-onshore wind – that’s a kiter’s dream, not a surfer’s. The energy is very strong (1306), but it’s just a wild, messy ocean. The pattern continues right through the first week of September, with only dry, onshore winds and lumpy, poor surf. The window from the 7th to the 10th of September is flat and weak, with energy dropping below 100.
So, to sum it up: the first week is a washout, but the second week offers a couple of very clean, early-morning sessions at Pointe du Toulinget. Don’t sleep on those.
Rusty.
