The Lowdown
Alright, I’ve eyeballed the charts for a spot called Pointe du Toulinguet, a point break out there. Let me tell ya, looking at the whole 16-day window, it’s pretty grim for most of it. We have a solid two-week stretch where the surf is poor. From Sunday the 16th right through to Friday the 28th of August, the conditions are just no good for a proper paddle. We're talking small, weak, short-period windswell or onshore mess.
The first real glimmer of anything decent doesn't show up until Friday morning, the 28th of August. That morning the wind goes glassy, and we’ve got a 5ft swell rolling in from the west, with a period of 9 seconds and moderate wave energy (343). That's your one standout window. The water temp is about 66°F, which feels pretty average for this time of year – nothing crazy there.
For a spot that usually needs that west swell, the directions we get are mostly from the west or west-northwest, which is fine, but the wind is a killer. It’s mostly onshore or cross-onshore, turning it into a lumpy, choppy mess. Even when the swell gets bigger, like on the morning of Thursday the 20th, we’re looking at a 8ft swell from the WNW, but the wind is a moderate onshore, and the energy is strong (925). That’s too big for beginners and with that wind, it’s just a washing machine. Definitely a case where the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than a paddle session.
That one shot on the 28th morning with 5ft swell from the west, glassy conditions, and 9-second period is the only real hope for a clean wave. It might get a bit crowded at a point break like this, but on a Friday morning after weeks of nothing, you might get lucky. After that, the energy picks up on the 29th with a very strong 6ft to 7ft west-northwest swell (1238 energy) and a longer 12-second period, but the wind is messy again.
So, to keep it short: if you’ve got a board, pencil in the morning of Friday the 28th. That’s your best bet by a country mile. The rest is a write-off until the end of the month looks iffy.
