The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get stuck into what's on the table for the next couple of weeks.
First up, the water at Pointe du Toulinget is sittin' at 65°F with a 1°F anomaly, so it's pretty much spot on for this time of year – nothing to write home about, just your usual late-summer temp.
Right, the honest truth is, this is a tough stretch. There's a long, long gap right at the start where there's absolutely nothing worth gettin' wet for. The first few days are a write-off, with tiny, weak swell and poor conditions. You'll be lookin' at a solid week of flat, messy, or just plain ugly surf. From the 25th of August through to the 30th, it's all about small, weak, crummy waves – don't bother.
Then, around the 31st of August into early September, things start to get a bit more interesting, but it's not pretty. The swell picks up, but with it comes a lot of strong onshore wind. We're talkin' 7 ft to 8 ft of wind-affected swell, with combined energy readings climbin' into the hundreds (994, 792, 928) – that's moderate energy, but it's all blown out. A few of those days are gonna be more for the kite surfers than the paddle crew, especially with the strong cross-onshore winds.
The real standout, and the only one I'm genuinely excited about, is right at the end of the forecast. Let's talk about Wednesday the 9th of September. The afternoon session is where it's at. We've got a 5 ft swell rollin' in from the west, with a period of 11 seconds – that's a nice, solid groundswell with some proper energy and shape. The combined energy is a solid 563, and the wind is glassy. That's right, calm, glassy conditions. For a point break like this, that's a dream. The wave direction is a touch west, which is ideal for the spot's optimum west exposure. It's a fairly consistent break, so you'll get waves, but you might see a few others out there as it's "sometimes" crowded. This is a proper clean, fun wave.
As we push into the second week, there's a few more pulses of energy, but they're all wrapped up in onshore winds. The 5th and 6th of September have some serious swell – 8 ft to 10 ft – with energy readings over 1000 and even hittin' 3275 on the 6th. That's strong energy, but it comes with a strong cross-onshore, makin' it choppy and messy. Not the one for a clean, relaxin' surf. The 8th of September afternoon has a very long period 15-second groundswell from the west, with a massive 4991 energy reading, but it's cross-onshore and described as marginal. A long-period swell like that will be grindin' down the point, but the wind will be a real issue.
So, the bottom line: there's a long, dry spell for the first week. The surf then shows up, but it's mostly wind-affected. The one clear winner is Wednesday the 9th of September afternoon. Get on that glassy, west swell at Pointe du Toulinget. It's the only time the stars really align.
Rusty.
