The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's talk about what's coming up at Pointe du Toulinguet.
Honestly, friends, we’re looking at a bit of a flat spell to kick things off. There’s nothing worth paddling out for right from the start on Thursday, August 13th. We’ve got some cross-onshore wind messing with a weak, 4ft swell that has no energy behind it (277 combined energy). Clean waves just aren't going to happen with this onshore flow. The water temperature is sitting at 66°F, which is just about normal for this time of year, so no surprises there.
This frustrating pattern of weak swell and messy wind hangs around for days. All through the weekend and into the start of next week, the swell is tiny or just too chopped up. The best you can hope for is some clean conditions on the morning of Sunday, August 16th, but with the swell barely hitting 3ft, it's more of a longboard session or a paddle than a surf. It’s a real lull.
We’re looking at a long gap here. There’s nothing with any real punch until the middle of the following week. The first real sign of life comes on Wednesday afternoon, August 19th. The swell jumps to 8ft from the WNW, with a period of 10 seconds and a massive energy reading (1682). This is a legit groundswell, but the problem is the wind. It’s a strong cross-shore, which will chop it up. It’s listed as marginal, and I’d only call it interesting if you’re an experienced surfer willing to battle the mess.
The Standout: Thursday, August 20th
Now, pay attention to Thursday morning, August 20th. That is the session to circle. The swell is a solid 8ft out of the WNW, with an 11-second period, which is proper groundswell energy pumping through. The combined energy is 1418, so there is serious power behind it. But the best part? The wind is a light cross-offshore from the NNE (just 9 mph). That makes for clean, lined-up waves. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers only – that size at a point break like this is going to be powerful and demanding. It's not for the faint of heart or for beginners. It's the one true standout in this whole 16-day window.
After that peak, things drop off fast. Friday morning, August 21st, holds some clean, smaller leftovers around 3ft, but the rest of the next week just slides back into weak, blown-out, or onshore conditions. The wind is mostly rubbish, and the consistent energy disappears. We get a bit more size around the 27th and 28th, but it's all accompanied by strong, onshore winds and even a risk of thunderstorms, which makes the surf look terrible.
So, to wrap it up: be patient. The first week is a total write-off. The one window of hope is that Thursday the 20th. If you are an experienced surfer and you can get out there, that is the day.
This is Rusty, signing off.
