Pointe du Toulinguet Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, grab your wettie, let’s talk about what’s happening at Pointe du Toulinget – a solid little point break. We’ve got a bit of a slow start before the magic kicks in.

Right off the bat, Friday morning, July 3rd, is actually the standout of this whole outlook. We’ve got a clean 5ft WNW swell rolling in with a 10-second period, and the wind is glassy, dead calm from the NNW at just 3 mph. The water is sitting at 66°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – a real treat. The combined swell energy is a solid (490). This is the morning to be out there. The afternoon goes to hell though – that same wind barrels up to 16 mph and swings cross-on, chopping it up completely.

Saturday July 4th and Sunday July 5th are pretty ordinary. Saturday morning offers a small 4ft W swell with cross-shore winds, barely surfable. Sunday morning cleans up with a light cross-offshore NE wind, but the swell has dropped to just 2ft. You’ll get a wave, but you’ll be scratching.

From Monday July 6th right through until the morning of Tuesday July 14th, it’s a write-off – a long, flat, and mostly junk run. Heights stay below 3ft, winds are onshore or strong, and the energy readings are in the weak double-digits. There are a few clean mornings in there with glassy or offshore winds (like the 8th, 9th, and 10th), but there’s simply no swell to ride. The last few days of that stretch, like the 13th, actually have a very long-period 14-second swell but it’s only 1ft – nearly flat.

Now, here’s the real second chance. On the morning of Tuesday July 14th, things finally wake up. The forecast flips: offshore wind from the ENE at 16 mph, a 3ft WNW groundswell with a nice long 11-second period, and good clean conditions. The energy is moderate (274). It’s a promising call, but being two weeks out, it’s not locked in yet – still, keep your eye on this morning.

After that, it gets messy again, until we hit the very end of the outlook. On Saturday July 18th, the swell cranks up significantly. Morning brings a 5ft SW swell at 8 seconds, but the wind is cross-on and light – it’s a bit mushy and marginal, with very strong energy (574). The afternoon is the real beast: 7ft from the WSW at 10 seconds with a massive energy of (1350). That’s expert territory, and with a strong cross-onshore wind at 16 mph, it’s going to be a messy, powerful beast. If you’re a strong paddler and like it heavy, that afternoon could be your session, but it’s not for everyone.

Best call? Friday morning, July 3rd. Glassy, clean, solid chest-to-head high swell, and warm water. Tuesday morning July 14th is your backup date if you can wait.

Stay stoked.
