Pointe du Toulinguet Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Pointe du Toulinguet.

Right now, the surf is a bit of a write-off. We’re looking at a lumpy, cross-onshore mess with a 10ft swell clocking in from the west, but that wind is just wrecking it. The water temp is sitting around 65°, which is pretty much normal for this time of year. We’ve got a long stretch of poor conditions ahead. For the first few days, through Wednesday and Thursday of this week, the swell is all over the place, but it’s either too small, too choppy, or the wind is onshore. Expect a few days of nothing worth paddling out for.

The first real glimmer of hope comes early on Saturday, 5th September. That morning is the standout. Clean, glassy conditions with a 7ft groundswell from the west-northwest, and a long 13-second period. That’s a lot of energy moving through – the combined energy reading is 1555, which is strong. The wind is light and offshore from the northeast, so the waves will be lined up and clean. This is a point break, so that long period will wrap in nicely. It’s a bit on the bigger side, so this one is for the experienced crew. The water is still about average temp for the season.

Sunday morning, 6th September, is another decent shout. Smaller at 4ft, but with a gentle offshore breeze from the east-southeast, it’ll be clean and manageable. The energy is moderate (241), and it’s a good option for a more relaxed session.

Then we get a gap. The next notable window is Tuesday morning, 8th September. Clean conditions again, with a 6ft west-northwest swell and a 9-second period. The combined energy is 644, so there’s some punch there. The wind is light and offshore from the northeast, making for a tidy morning. Not a massive standout, but solid.

After that, the forecast turns messy again with strong onshore winds and rain, so the run of good waves is pretty short. The second week looks mostly small and weak, with the energy dropping right off. There’s a tiny chance on the morning of 15th September for a clean, glassy 3ft west swell, but it’s a long way out and the energy is low (233). Not something to bank on.

Overall, your best bet is that Saturday morning, 5th September. It’s the clear winner. Sunday morning is a solid backup. The rest of the window is mostly a waiting game.

Rusty.
