The Lowdown
Alright folks, it's Rusty here. Let's be straight with you—the next two weeks at Pointe du Toulinget are lookin' like a real mixed bag, and if I'm bein' honest, mostly a bit of a struggle. It's a northwest-facing point, but the wind's gonna be a constant pain in the neck for the bulk of the period.
The water's sitting at about 65°, which is just about average for this time of year, nothin' wild there.
We kick off Tuesday the 25th and it's a tough start. Tiny 2ft WNW swell with a nice 11-second period, but the wind's a cross-onshore mess. The combined energy is weak (109), and the report is callin' it "poor surf conditions." Not worth paddlin' out. The next few days don't get much better. Wednesday the 26th stays small, and while we get a bit of cross-offshore wind in the morning, the swell's just too gutless. Thursday the 27th sees a jump in size to 6ft from the SW, but it's short-period stuff at 8 seconds and the wind's still on it. It'll be a bumpy, messy close-out.
Friday the 28th morning is a small glimmer. We get a clean 3ft WNW swell with a cross-offshore breeze from the southeast. The energy is moderate (208), and the report is "marginal." It's not a standout, but it's the best we've seen so far. If you're desperate for a slide, that's your window. But it's small and you'll be workin' for it.
Then it all goes pear-shaped. Saturday the 29th brings rain and a strong onshore gale, with 8ft of junky WSW swell. That's a no-go. We get a bit of a break Sunday the 30th but it's still choppy with poor wind. Monday the 31st is interesting but ugly—a solid 8ft WNW swell rolls in, but again the wind's cross-onshore and it's a total chop fest. The energy's strong (1219 and then 2056), but nobody wants to be out there in that.
The first week of September is the same story. Tuesday the 1st and Wednesday the 2nd see consistent swell in the 7-10ft range, but every session is plagued by cross-onshore winds. The conditions are consistently described as poor. Then on Thursday the 3rd, the wind turns fresh and lumpy from the NW. This is just a write-off.
Now, the real interesting bit comes on Sunday the 6th of September. The morning session is a total wild card. We're lookin' at 5ft of WNW swell with a 10-second period and—get this—a light cross-offshore breeze from the ENE. The report comes right out and says "expect very good surf conditions." The combined energy is moderate (551), and it's clean. That's your one true standout for the whole period. For an exposed point, a clean cross-offshore wind is a gift. This is the session to circle on the calendar. But, it's 11 days out, so keep an eye on it; long-range promise is just that.
The beach itself might be more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer for most of this run. There's plenty of wind, and with the significant swell, it'll be a blown-out playground.
There’s a long gap of mostly poor conditions after the 6th and into the second week, but Monday the 9th of September offers a little hope with a clean 8ft WNW groundswell and light cross-shore winds. It's a "marginal" call, but the energy's strong (1267), so if you're an expert looking for a challenge on a big, clean point, it might be worth a look when it gets closer. For most of us though, it's a long wait for that Sunday the 6th.
Rusty.
