Pointe du Toulinguet Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright crew, Rusty here checking in on Pointe du Toulinguet. Over this 16-day stretch, I’ll level with you—it’s a rough patch. The majority of the forecast is stamped with "poor surf conditions," and the numbers back that up. There’s no real highlight, no session that jumps out as a must-do.

The pattern is stubborn: cross-shore and cross-onshore winds, often blowing at 15 to 30 mph, with lumpy, choppy seas. Swell hangs between 2 ft and 5 ft, mostly from the west or northwest, but the energy is all over the place. Early on, Wednesday the 12th, it’s a small 3 ft west swell with just 126 in combined energy. By Thursday the 13th, energy climbs to 279 with a 4 ft swell, but the wind stays cross-onshore and messy.

The only clean window shows up Sunday morning the 16th. We’ve got a 4 ft swell from the NNW, a short 6-second period, but the wind turns cross-offshore from the NNE at 15 mph. That’s clean. Water temp is about 66°, which is roughly 2° warmer than average for this time—nothing extreme, just a little warmer. The swell is short-period though, and the energy (218) is moderate. Surfable? Yeah. A standout? Not really.

Then on Friday the 21st morning, we get another clean window. Light cross-offshore wind from the SSE at 9 mph, a 3 ft NW swell with a longer 11-second period, and combined energy of 184. It’s clean, but tiny. Longboard conditions.

After that, it’s back into onshore wind and rain showers. By Thursday the 27th afternoon, the swell hits 5 ft from the WNW with a 12-second period and a big 467 combined energy—the biggest of the run—but it’s onshore, windy, and messy. That’s just wind-chop.

So for the best on offer? The Sunday the 16th morning is the cleanest, but small and short-period. The Friday the 21st morning has cleaner wind but knee-high waves. Everything else is lumpy, choppy junk. This setup looks more fun for the kite surfers than the paddle crew right now.

Hang in there, the good stuff will come back.
— Rusty.
