Pointe du Toulinguet Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks at Pointe du Toulinguet.

Right off the bat, it’s a bit of a slow start. We’ve got a stretch of pretty ordinary conditions from Tuesday the 1st all the way through to Saturday the 5th. The swell is mostly in the 3ft to 5ft range from the west, but the wind is all wrong – cross-onshore and choppy. The water temp is sittin' around 64°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year. Not much to get excited about, just a bit of a flat spell to get through.

Sunday the 6th is a bit of a mixed bag. The morning has a small 2ft NW swell with a light offshore easterly breeze, so it’ll be clean but tiny. The afternoon goes glassy, but the swell drops right off to 2ft, energy is down to 95 (weak), so it’s more of a paddle than a surf.

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Monday the 7th is the standout. The morning is looking proper. We’ve got a 4ft swell from the west with a 12-second period, which is a nice long groundswell. The combined energy is 502 (moderate), and more importantly, the wind is glassy – dead calm. That’s a rare treat, and it’ll make for some clean, peeling lines off the point. This is a point break, so that long period swell will wrap in nicely. This is the best session on offer, no doubt.

The good news keeps comin’ for a bit, but the wind turns on Monday afternoon, with a cross-onshore breeze messing up what could be a bigger 6ft swell. Tuesday the 8th gets a bit messy too, with a solid 8ft to 8ft swell from the west and northwest, but the wind is onshore or cross-onshore and strong. That’s expert territory, and with the chop, it’s a battle.

After that, we have a bit of a lull. Wednesday the 9th through the weekend of the 12th and 13th is mostly poor surf. The wind is mostly offshore or cross-offshore, which keeps it clean, but the swell is tiny – down to 2ft to 2ft, with weak energy. It’s a quiet spell.

Then we see a bit of a pulse again. Monday the 14th morning has a report of “good surf conditions” with a 6ft swell from the west, 8-second period, and clean cross-offshore wind from the ESE. That’s a solid option for intermediate surfers, and the energy is moderate (332). The wind is light, so it should be a fun session.

Tuesday the 15th is a bit of a wild card. The morning shows a 7ft WNW swell with an 11-second period, huge energy of 1027 (strong), but the wind is light cross-shore. It’s rated marginal, likely due to the size and tide combo. That’s a big, powerful swell for experts only. The afternoon is similar, with the wind turning cross-onshore.

Finally, Wednesday the 16th morning offers another clean window with a 5ft west swell, 10-second period, and light offshore wind from the NE. That’s a solid, clean, intermediate-friendly wave to finish the forecast on.

So, for the best bet, you’re looking at Monday the 7th morning – that glassy, 4ft groundswell is the cream of the crop. The Monday the 14th morning session is a solid backup. Get out there when it’s clean.

Rusty.
