The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. I’ve had a long look at the charts for Pointe du Toulinguet, and I’ve got to be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch. We’re looking at a solid 16 days, but the first week and a half is basically a write-off. The water is sitting at 67°F and a massive 5°F warmer than normal for this time of year, which is very unusual.
From now, right through to the morning of Thursday the 23rd of July, it’s a real struggle. The swell is tiny, mostly around 0.7ft to 1ft, and the wind is all over the shop. We get a few clean moments, like the morning of Saturday the 18th with glassy conditions, but with only 1.0ft of swell, you’re barely getting a ripple. The combined wave energy is pitiful, sitting in the teens and twenties (26 to 48), and the score is a flat zero every day. It’s a long, flat gap.
Then, on Thursday the 23rd of July, we finally get a pulse. The morning shows a 4ft SSW swell, but with a short period of 7 seconds. The energy jumps up to a moderate 185, and the wind is a clean cross-off from the NE. It’s rideable, but the conditions are still described as poor. The afternoon gets messy with the wind. That’s the only glimmer of anything surfable until the very end.
The real event, and I mean the *only* thing worth circling on the calendar, hits a full week later. On Sunday the 26th of July, things get serious. We’ve got a 6ft to 6ft WNW swell rolling in with a long period of 11 to 12 seconds. The energy is a solid 923, which is a big jump. This is a proper groundswell, and for a point break like this, that’s perfect. But here’s the kicker – the wind is strong cross-onshore from the NW at 12-22 mph. It’s going to be choppy and lumpy. This swell is over 5ft, so it’s not for beginners, and the onshore wind will make it a battle. It’s a decent wave, but it’s being blown out.
Monday the 27th and Tuesday the 28th of July keep the size up, with the 28th seeing 8ft SW swell, but again, the wind is nasty and cross-onshore. At 8ft, that’s expert-only territory, and with that wind, it’s going to be a washing machine. Frankly, if the wind stays that strong, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
Honestly, if you’re desperate for a paddle, the cleanest wave you’ll get is the 4ft on Thursday the 23rd, but it’s weak. The bigger swell is there from the 26th, but it’s a messy, windy affair. Not the best run of luck for Toulinguet.
Rusty.
