The Lowdown
Alright, mate, Rusty here. Let’s break it down.
First off, the water at Pointe du Toulinget is sittin’ at 66°F and the anomaly is only 0.8°F, so pretty much what you’d expect for this time of year. No surprises.
The honest truth for the next week and a half is pretty grim. From Monday the 17th all the way through to Tuesday the 25th of August, there’s really nothin’ worth paddlin’ out for. The swell is tiny, the wind is messy, and the surf quality is just poor. You’ll see a bit of a bump on the 19th and 20th with some moderate energy (258 m and 1079 m), but the wind is cross-onshore and choppy, so it’s a write-off. The 23rd and 24th have clean conditions with cross-offshore winds, but the swell is tiny – 0.3 ft or less, so it’s flat. Kite surfers might find somethin’ to play with on a couple of those days, but for paddle surfing, it’s a no-go.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. The standout window is the morning of Wednesday the 26th of August. That’s the one to circle. We’ve got a 2 ft swell from the west, with a 9-second period, and the wind is glassy – zero, calm. That’s clean, clean surf. The combined energy is a solid 568 (moderate), and the wave comment says “expect very good surf conditions.” This is the best on offer, no question.
Then Thursday the 27th morning is also glassy, with a 2 ft swell from the west-southwest (7-second period) and 528 m energy. It’s a little shorter period, but still clean and surfable. After that, the wind turns onshore and the quality drops off.
Lookin’ further out, the 28th of August Friday morning sees a big 3 ft west swell with 2844 m energy (very strong), but it’s cross-shore with light rain and moderate chop. That’s big and messy – only for experts. The 30th of August Sunday morning has a 3 ft west swell, light south wind, and marginal conditions, but the energy is 675 (moderate). It’s a possibility, but not the standout.
So, bottom line: the first week is a bust. The real chance is the morning of the 26th – glassy, clean, and a solid 2 ft. Get on it if you can.
Rusty.
