The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it for Pointe du Toulinget. This is a point break that’s fairly consistent, exposed to a W swell, and it needs west to light up. The water temp is sitting at 65°F right now, which is about average for this time of year, so no need to worry about oddballs – just your standard summer-autumn mix.
The first week is a write-off, honestly. From Wednesday the 26th right through to the end of August, we’re dealing with a whole lot of cross and onshore winds, short period junk, and combined energies that are mostly weak to moderate (93 to 1223). The swell is there, but it’s all windswell – 3 ft to 10 ft – but with winds hammering it from the SW and WSW, it’s messy, choppy, and just plain poor. Not for us. Even when the swell kicks up around 8 ft on Saturday the 29th, the wind is 25 mph and it’s a strong cross-onshore mess. That’s kite-surfing territory, not paddle surfing.
We’ve got a massive gap here. The first 10 days are basically a no-go zone. The only flicker of hope comes on Monday the 31st morning, where we see 8 ft from the W with a 10-second period and a clean onshore wind, but the score is still marginal, and the tide’s likely playing up. It’s one to watch, but not a standout.
Then, things finally line up. The standout window is Saturday the 5th of September. Saturday morning brings a 7 ft groundswell from the W, with a long 11-second period and a light offshore wind from the ENE at 6 mph. The combined energy is strong (995), and the conditions are clean. That’s the real deal. Saturday afternoon gets even better – glassy conditions with the wind dropping to 3 mph from the E, and the swell easing to 6 ft, still from the W with that 11-second period. The combined energy is still strong (810). This is your best chance – clean, lined-up waves, not too big for intermediates, and the point will handle that long-period swell well. Just be aware that with a point break, it’ll be a bit more consistent and shape up nicely.
After that, Sunday the 6th is back to onshore mayhem, and the following week drops off again. The 10th of September shows a 8 ft to 8 ft swell from the W with a long 11-second period, but the wind is a fresh cross-offshore from the NE at 19 mph, which keeps it clean but marginal. The combined energy is very strong (1302 to 1427), but it’s a big swell, only for experts. The wind will keep the surface clean, but the size and power make it a serious handful.
So, the pick of the whole 16 days is Saturday the 5th of September – morning and afternoon. That’s your session. The rest is a long wait, but it’ll be worth it.
Rusty.
