The Lowdown
Alright guys, Rusty here with the lowdown on Pointe du Toulinguet for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, for a solid stretch, it’s looking pretty grim. We’ve got a long period of nothing special. The first chance comes on Friday, the 14th of August, but we’re only talking about 3ft swell from the west, with a north-northwest wind making things a bit bumpy. The energy is weak at 139, not worth the hassle.
This same story runs all through the next week. Yeah, we see some bigger pulses, like on Saturday the 15th with 4ft to 4ft and moderate energy around 222 to 300, but the wind stays messy – cross to cross-on – so it's always a bit choppy. There’s a glimmer on Wednesday morning the 19th with a long-period groundswell at 13 seconds, but it’s only 2ft and still cross-shore. Even a morning on the 21st with 5ft and light wind just gives us a marginal forecast. It’s just not clean enough to get excited about.
From the 22nd all the way through the 26th, it gets even worse. The swell tanks, the winds are mostly onshore or cross-onshore, and the energy numbers drop to double digits. A total write-off.
But then, circle Thursday the 27th of August. That morning, it’s game on. We’ve got a clean 6ft swell from the west, a light cross-offshore wind from the southeast, and the energy is pumping hard at 536. The water temp is about 66°, a touch warmer than normal, so that's fine. This is the one. That swell is solid and clean, making it a session for the experienced crew. Pointe du Toulinguet can draw a crowd when it’s good, so expect some heads in the water.
The afternoon of the 27th is still decent with similar 6ft surf and clean, but the wind picks up a notch. Friday the 28th is a step down again.
Bottom line: a long, flat, and choppy stretch, but a real beauty waiting for us on the morning of Thursday the 27th of August. That’s the day to pencil in.
Rusty.
