The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Pointe du Toulinguet has in store for us. I gotta be straight with you – this isn’t a week for throwing a sickie. We’ve got a long stretch of pretty average to poor conditions to work through before we see anything worth getting excited about.
For the first week and a half, from Friday the 7th right through to the morning of Monday the 17th, it’s a real struggle. We’re dealing with tiny, weak swells, mostly under 3ft, and the wind is just never on our side. The combined swell energy is weak, spending most of its time under 100 (28-159 range). The water temp is sitting at 65°F, which is about normal for this time of year, so you won’t need the thickest suit, but you will need a lot of patience. There are a few windows of *clean* conditions, like Saturday morning the 8th with a glassy offshore ESE breeze at 3 mph, but the swell is a pathetic 2ft from the NW with a period of 11 seconds. That’s a long period for a tiny wave – it’ll be slow and fat. Tuesday morning the 11th is similar, with a clean 2ft on a 3 mph ESE offshore. Not worth the paddle.
The real bright spot on the horizon, and the only time I’d say get your gear ready, is Tuesday the 18th and Wednesday the 19th. This is the only standout window in the whole 16-day outlook. On Tuesday morning the 18th, we’ll see a jump in size to a clean 6ft from the W, with the combined energy hitting a solid 435. The wind is a perfect light offshore from the ESE at 3 mph. That’s a clean, crisp wave on offer. The period is a short 8 seconds, so it’ll be a bit crumbly and sectiony, but with that size and that glass, it’ll be fun. Then Wednesday morning the 19th keeps it going: 6ft from the WNW, combined energy of 424, and a light cross-offshore breeze from the NNE at 6 mph. The water is still clean. The swell is over 5ft, so it’s not for total beginners, but any intermediate will have a ball.
The rest of the second week is a mixed bag of messy onshore winds and building swell that never lines up right. Thursday the 20th morning is marginal with a 6ft cross-shore chop, and the following Saturday the 22nd sees a big pulse of energy (1076) but it’s a 7ft beast with a howling cross-onshore wind. That’s a washing machine, not a surf session. The direction is WSW, which is not the optimum W for this point break, so it’ll be ugly.
So, to sum it up: the first 11 days are a write-off. The only real chance for a good wave is the morning of Tuesday the 18th and Wednesday the 19th. That’s your window. The rest of the time, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, especially when the wind gets up. Stay patient, and keep an eye on the 18th and 19th.
Rusty.
