The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, and I’ve got a real mixed bag coming up for Pointe du Toulinget. This is a point break setup on that exposed west-facing coast, and the optimum swell direction is from the west. Unfortunately, for the bulk of the next 16 days, it’s looking pretty flat or messy, with only one session that even gets close to a marginal call.
We have a gap from now right through until the morning of Monday, 28 July. That’s over a week with no real surf to get excited about – the waves are tiny, short-period, and often cross-onshore. It’s a tough run.
Finally, on the morning of Monday, the 28th of July, things start to stir. We get a WNW swell around 6 ft, but it’s coming in with a period of just 8 seconds (a weak windswell) and a cross-onshore wind from the WNW at 9 mph. The combined energy is a solid 831 (moderate to strong), but it’s a choppy, bumpy look. By the afternoon, the swell holds at 7 ft, but that wind picks up to 16 mph from the NW, making it even messier. This is really a session for experienced surfers only – too much size and chop for the average punter.
Tuesday morning, 29 July, is the closest we get to a standout, but it’s still just flagged as “marginal.” The swell drops a bit to 5 ft from the WNW with a period of 10 seconds (that’s a bit more energy), and the wind is a light cross-onshore from the NNW at 6 mph – glassy enough to be cleanish. The combined energy is a strong 1264. Still, that cross-onshore angle is not ideal, and the size is borderline for a typical point break. It’s the best we have, but don’t hold your breath for perfection.
After that, the pattern fades back into small, windy, or cross-offshore slop through to the 2nd of August. The water temperature is a bit warmer than average for the time of year, so it’s comfortable, but the swell just isn’t there. For the entire window, only Tuesday morning the 29th offers even a slight chance at a session, and honestly, for a point break, it’s pretty average.
Rusty, signing off.
