The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at Pointe du Toulinguet.
Right off the bat, this is a grim stretch for the next week and a half. The swell is there for most of the run, but it’s almost constantly blown out or has the wrong wind for this exposed point. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
We kick off on Wednesday the 26th with tiny 2ft to 2ft of WNW swell at a short 8-9 seconds. The energy is weak (93) and we've got a cross-off wind from the S at 12 mph keeping it clean, but there’s just no power. The next few days see the swell building, but the wind is all over the shop – cross, cross-on, or straight onshore. Thursday the 27th has a bit more size at 4ft from the SW, but with a rubbish 7-second period and a cross-shore breeze, it’s just a mess. By Friday the 28th the swell hits 5ft, but it’s still poor. This pattern of increasing swell with terrible wind holds right through until the end of the first week.
There’s a real gap in quality here. From the 26th right through to the morning of the 4th of September, every session is rated as poor surf conditions. It’s a long, frustrating run.
The first sign of life appears on Friday morning the 4th of September. We get a pulse of groundswell from the WNW, 7ft at a very long 12 seconds. The combined energy surges to 1110 (strong), which is significant. The wind is super light from the WSW, almost glassy, meaning it should be clean. This is the standout for the entire forecast period by a mile. However, the tide or some other factor is questionable, and the size is pushing 7ft, which is getting more serious. This is the one to aim for. The afternoon has a similar 7ft swell but a moderate cross-onshore breeze messes it up.
The 5th of September is a write-off again with strong NNW winds making it lumpy, but the morning of the 6th of September sees the swell drop to 3ft from the WNW. With a light cross-off breeze from the ENE at 6 mph, it’s clean but tiny.
Then we get another solid push. On Monday the 7th of September, the swell is 5ft from the WNW, but the cross-shore wind is still a problem. The real event is on Tuesday the 8th and Wednesday the 9th of September. This is big, powerful groundswell. Tuesday morning has 8ft WNW swell at 10 seconds with 1968 energy (very strong), but it’s dead onshore from the W. Wednesday the 9th kicks up to 10ft from the W with 1725 energy. At 10 seconds it’s a long-period groundswell, and for a point break like Pointe du Toulinguet, this will be proper and powerful. Again, it’s onshore wind, making it a challenge. This is pure grunt for experts only and will be thick and heavy. The wind is the only thing stopping this from being epic.
Thursday the 10th of September still has an 8ft swell from the W, with a light cross-on breeze from the SSW, making it the second-best window after the 4th, but the wind is just not perfect.
If the wind stays onshore for those big days the 8th and 9th of September, Pointe du Toulinguet will be a washing machine. The setup would look more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on those days. The clear winner is Friday the 4th of September morning – get on it.
Rusty.
