The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Pointe du Toulinguet. It’s a bit of a slow start, I won’t lie. The first few days are pretty grim with poor surf conditions and cross-onshore winds making a mess of things. We’ve got a few windows, but the real standout is looking like Wednesday morning, the 19th of August.
That Wednesday morning, the wind drops right out – glassy conditions. Swell is a clean 4ft from the WNW with a period of 10 seconds, giving a moderate wave energy (302). It’s not huge, but with that glassy surface, it’ll be the cleanest the point will see all week. After that, the wind swings onshore and the swell builds, but the quality drops off.
We then hit a long gap of poor surf, with clean conditions but tiny waves, or bigger waves with messy winds. Nothing really worth paddling out for until we get to the very end of the forecast.
Now, looking way out to Tuesday the 1st of September, there’s a big pulse of WNW swell forecast – 10ft with a very long 12-second period and strong wave energy (2383). This is proper groundswell. The catch is the cross-onshore wind, which will make it a bit lumpy and challenging. For experts only, that size and power is a serious proposition, and it’s best handled at a point break like this, but the wind is a bit of a letdown. The Wednesday morning after, the 2nd, is similar with 8ft and a moderate cross-shore, still a marginal call.
So, to sum it up: Wednesday morning the 19th is your best bet for a clean, fun session. That big swell early September is promising, but it’s a long way off and the wind needs to play ball.
