The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. I’ve been staring at the charts for our stretch of coast, and honestly, it’s a tough one to call with any real excitement. We’ve got a solid 16-day window ahead, but it looks like we’re in for a long stretch of quiet, messy conditions before we might see a tiny window of hope right at the end.
Right off the bat, things aren't looking good. For the first two weeks of August, from the 2nd all the way through to the 17th, it’s a real desert out there. We’re looking at a solid 15-day run of what can only be described as poor surf. The swell is tiny and the wind is just about always in the wrong spot, so the paddle-out is gonna be a frustrating one if you bother at all.
Let’s break it down. Our only real option, Pointe du Toulinguet is a point break. The water temp is sitting at a fairly pleasant 67°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. Nice for the skin, but there’s no energy in the water to back it up.
Through the first week, into early August, the swell just never gets going. There are days like Tuesday the 4th where the combined swell energy hits 160 (moderate), but the swell is a weak 4ft from the WSW with a short period of just 7 seconds, and the wind is cross-onshore and choppy. It’s a recipe for a bumpy, gutless mess. That pattern just repeats day after day – a little spike in energy, always ruined by the wind. By Saturday the 8th, you get a tiny clean window in the morning with light cross-offshore winds, but the swell is only 2ft from the NW. You’d be surfing ankle-biters at best.
The second week looks even more stretched out. The swell energy drops right off, often into double digits, like the 31 on Friday the 7th or the 32 on the morning of the 8th. Even when there’s a bit of size, like the 4ft on Wednesday the 5th, it’s accompanied by onshore or cross-onshore wind again. It’s a tough slog.
Now, if you can hold out, there is a sliver of something interesting on the very last day of the forecast. On Saturday the 15th of August in the morning, Pointe du Toulinguet turns glassy. The wind is calm, giving us perfect conditions. The swell is still tiny, only 2ft from the west with an 8-second period, and the combined energy is just 51 (weak). But for a local point break, that glassy surface is a major, major positive to round out a long dry spell. Not a standout by any means, but it’s the only time in the whole 16 days we get a truly clean shot at a wave.
Other than that, it’s a kite surfer’s paradise out there. With all the cross-onshore wind and choppy conditions, you’d be better off with a kite than a paddle for a lot of this run.
There are no standout swells on the horizon. For now, keep your stick in the car and your expectations low. Things can’t stay this flat forever.
