The Lowdown
Alright, let’s run through it in feet and knots for the crew that thinks that way. Pointe du Toulinget is a point break that’s fairly consistent, exposed to the west, and a good fit for intermediates. The water temp is right around average for the season at 65°F, nothing wild. But honestly, from now through the end of August, the surf quality is mostly a bust.
Friday the 21st kicks off with 6ft from the WNW, but it’s cross-on and choppy. No thanks. Saturday the 22nd drops to 2ft with a light offshore, but there’s just no swell. Sunday through Tuesday the 27th stays tiny — most readings under 3ft — and the wind never really cleans it up. Midweek on Wednesday the 26th we see 6ft to 7ft from the southwest, but it’s cross-off then cross-shore with storm risk. Still not worth it.
Thursday the 28th and Friday the 29th bring bigger numbers — 8ft and 10ft — but the wind is onshore or cross-on, lumpy and sloppy. Too big for beginners, and too messy for everyone else. That mess carries into the start of September.
Then Wednesday the 2nd of September finally delivers. The morning shows 7ft from the west (8 sec period) with clean cross-off wind out of the southeast. That’s a real window. The afternoon steps it up — 10ft from the west, 10 second period, still clean, with strong energy (1608). That’s the standout. But at that size, it’s expert-only territory.
Thursday the 3rd also has a good morning session: 8ft from the WNW with an 11 second period and light cross-shore wind, making it a solid pick for experienced surfers. The energy is strong (1460). The afternoon turns cross-on and choppy again.
Best on offer: Wednesday the 2nd of September, both sessions at Pointe du Toulinget. Morning’s big and clean; afternoon’s even bigger and still clean. That’s the one to aim for if you’re an expert. Thursday morning the 3rd is a close second with longer period groundswell.
Otherwise, it’s a long dry spell until that first week of September. Days and days of nothing worth paddling out for. So wait it out and hit that Wednesday.

Information about the Pointe du Toulinguet Surf forecast

A general guide to surfing at Pointe du Toulinguet can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu.
