The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a good look at what’s coming up for Pointe du Toulinguet.
To be straight with you, it’s going to be a tough run for a while. There’s no surf worth paddling out for right now, and we’re looking at a gap of about a week and a half with no real recommendations. The first glimmer of something rideable doesn’t show up until Sunday the 30th of August, and even then it’s marginal. The water temp’s sitting at 65°F with an anomaly of just 0.4°F, so it’s about average for this time of year – not a shock to the system.
The first time we get anything that might be worth a look is Sunday afternoon, August 30th. The swell’s coming from the west at 7ft, with a short period of 8 seconds. It’s a cross-onshore breeze from the SW at 6 mph, which is light, so the surface won’t be a total mess. It’s only marked as marginal, and the energy’s moderate at 533 (combined energy). This is more for the patient surfer who’s been watching the cams.
Monday, August 31st keeps the marginal theme. The morning shows a 7ft west swell, period 9 seconds, with a light cross-shore wind from the south at 9 mph. The energy’s moderate at 595. By the afternoon, it’s a similar story: 6ft west swell, same period, but a cross-onshore breeze from the southwest at 9 mph. The energy jumps up to 994, which is getting into the moderate-to-strong range, but the conditions are still just on the edge of being fun.
Now, the standout in this whole forecast – the one that’s worth circling on your calendar – is Friday morning, September 4th. This is the best bet we’ve got. The swell comes in from the west at 6ft, with an 8-second period. The wind is a light offshore from the southeast at 6 mph, and the report says “clean.” This is the only real window with clean conditions and a manageable swell size. The combined energy is moderate at 478. For a point break like Pointe du Toulinguet, a west swell with clean offshore wind is what we want. Just keep in mind this is nearly two weeks out, so it’s promising but not locked in yet. Expect crowds here are possible – it’s a “sometimes” spot, so there might be a few others with the same idea.
Thursday morning, September 3rd is worth a mention as a backup. You’ve got a 8ft southwest swell with a short 7-second period and a light north wind at 6 mph, which is cross-shore. It’s marginal but the light wind keeps it from getting blown out. The energy is strong at 577. This size (over 8ft) starts to push into expert-only territory, especially with that short period making it dumpy.
As we head into the second week, things taper off. Friday afternoon, September 4th, you’re looking at 5ft from the west, period 9 seconds, but a light cross-onshore makes it marginal. Saturday, September 5th is a write-off with onshore winds and dropping swell.
So there you go. The window to watch is the morning of September 4th. It’s a long way off, but if the wind holds, it could be a proper clean session at Pointe du Toulinguet. Otherwise, it’s a pretty lean 16 days.
Stay stoked,
Rusty
