Pointe du Toulinguet Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what the ocean's got cookin' for us at Pointe du Toulinget over the next couple of weeks. I'll be straight with you – it's not looking like a classic stretch, so keep those expectations in check.

The first few days are a write-off, to be honest. The water’s sitting at a normal 62° for this time of year, but the waves are just messy. We've got a northwesterly wind blowing right through the bay, putting a nasty chop on a confused sea. On the 9th, we've got a bit of energy, around 5.6ft of cross-onshore slop, but it’s all over the place. It stays pretty poor for a few days, with the swell dropping right back on the 10th.

There’s a little pulse of life on the morning of the 11th, a 5.2ft W swell with 10-second period, but it's still cross-onshore and looks marginal. Not worth getting too excited about. The morning of the 12th is similar, just small and messy. Then Saturday afternoon on the 12th, we see the combined energy jump to 871, with a 4.9ft WNW swell, but that longer 13-second period is just getting chopped up by the onshores.

The 13th brings a bit more size, with a 6.2ft WNW swell on Sunday morning, but the wind is on it, making it blown-out and sloppy. It's just not coming together.

We get a nice glassy window on the morning of the 15th, the 15th of September, but the swell is tiny, only about 1.6ft. You’d be needing a log and a lot of patience. That afternoon, the wind howls in from the NW at 25 km/h, so any hope of doing anything is gone.

The following week doesn’t offer much hope either. There's some ankle-to-knee high shit around, and while we get some clean conditions with an offshore breeze on the morning of the 20th from the ESE, the swell is just too weak at 3ft. Then, finally, a glimmer. On the morning of the 21st of September, we’ve got a clean forecast with a light offshore ENE breeze and a 3ft WNW groundswell. It won’t be big, but it might be the only time you'll get a half-decent, clean little wave to yourself. That's the standout, but only because everything else is just so poor.

After that, it fades out quickly. The swell drops, the winds go onshore, and by the 23rd and 24th we're looking at flat dribble. It's a long, bleak outlook, and honestly there are times this setup looks far more interesting for the kite-surfers than us paddle guys. Keep the board in the car and wait for a better window.

That's all I got. Stay stoked.
