The Lowdown
G’day, I’m Rusty, and I’ve got the goods on your local stretch. Let’s be straight up – the next 16 days are a real mixed bag, and honestly, you’ll be searching hard for the good ones. There’s a long quiet patch at the start, then a big pulse of swell late in the run, but the winds are going to be a battle.
Right now, through the first week at Pointe du Toulinget, it’s pretty grim. We kick off on Tuesday, 11th August with a tiny 2-foot swell from the WNW at a weak 8-second period, with only 56 combined energy. The water’s sitting at 66°, which is pretty normal for this time of year. But the wind is all over the place – Tuesday morning is glassy, but the swell is just too small to do anything with. Wednesday the 12th shows a bit more life: a 3-foot WNW swell with 10-second period and 124 energy, and a clean cross-off wind in the morning. It’s surfable, but still very ordinary. Thursday through to the weekend gets a little bigger – up to 4 feet on Saturday afternoon – but the wind is cross or cross-on, chopping it up. The combined energy climbs to 295 on Thursday afternoon, but it’s not worth paddling out for. From Sunday the 16th to Tuesday the 18th, it’s all small and messy, with energy dropping to 38 on Monday morning. Honestly, there’s nothing to get excited about here.
Then we hit a real gap. After Tuesday the 18th, it’s a few days of poor conditions. But on Wednesday, 19th August, there’s a glimmer: a 4-foot WNW swell, 7-second period, and 160 combined energy, with glassy SSW wind in the morning. The report says "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions" – it’s the best of a bad lot, but still not great. That’s your only real standout in the first half.
The second week brings a big change. Starting Sunday, 23rd August, a solid swell pushes in: 8 feet from the WSW, 8-second period, with 724 combined energy on Sunday morning. That’s moderate wave energy, but the wind is onshore or cross-on, making it lumpy and poor. On Monday, 24th August, it really cranks up – 8 feet WNW swell, 10-second period, and a massive 1606 combined energy in the morning, climbing to 2260 in the afternoon. That’s strong wave energy, but it’s coming with strong onshore winds (25 mph in the morning, 22 mph in the afternoon). For a point break, this is big and raw – only for experts, and the wind is going to make it a messy, blown-out beast. The waves will be powerful but short-period, so it’s more about survival than style. The swell direction from the WNW is close to the optimum W, so there’s potential, but the wind is a killer. Tuesday, 25th August drops to 6 feet with 520 energy, still onshore, and it fades from there.
So, the standout here? It’s a tough call. The only real highlight is that Wednesday, 19th August morning session – glassy, 4 feet, clean wind, and it’s the most pleasant you’ll get. The big swell around 24th August is huge, but it’s only for the brave and experienced, and the wind won’t do you any favours. This break is fairly consistent, but in this window, it’s mostly a write-off. If you’re a kite surfer, that big wind and swell combo on 24th August might be more your speed.
Rusty.
