The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's cookin' at Pointe du Toulinguet.
To be honest, it's a pretty grim outlook for the next couple of weeks. The water is sitting at 66°, which is about what you'd expect for this time of year, but that's about the only thing that's normal. The combined wave energy is weak to non-existent for most of the run, barely getting out of double digits for days on end.
We start with nothing worth paddling out for. It's not until Tuesday the 20th of August that we see a real spike, with a pulse of 8ft swell from the WNW and a period of 9 seconds, pumping out a combined energy of 1417 (strong). That sounds big, but with the wind howling straight onshore at 19 mph, it's going to be a messy, blown-out mess. That size is also strictly for the experts. The energy drops a bit on Thursday the 21st, but the onshore wind sticks around. The whole first week is a write-off.
Then we get a long dry spell until the very end. Saturday the 29th of August finally shows some promise. The morning sees a solid 8ft WNW swell with a 9-second period, energy at 885 (moderate to strong). The wind is a clean cross-off from the NE at 16 mph. It's still big—only for experienced surfers—but the conditions will be cleaner. The afternoon gets even punchier with 7ft and energy hitting 1303 but the wind picks up a bit.
The real standout, and the only one I'd get excited about, is Monday the 31st of August. The morning session has a 6ft WNW swell, 8-second period, and a clean cross-off breeze from the NE. That's a proper session for the strong intermediates up. But the afternoon... man, the afternoon is the gem. The wind goes glassy—absolutely zero—and the swell bumps up to 7ft from the WNW with 575 energy (moderate). That's the one. That is your window. Just remember, it's over a week away, so don't book your flights yet—forecasts can change.
For the rest of the run? There's nothing doing. It's just a long, frustrating wait for that one window at the very end.
Rusty.
