The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here again. Let's break down what we've got for Pointe du Toulinguet.
Honestly, it's a tough one for the first week and a half. Onshore winds and choppy, messy conditions are the main story. The water temp is 18°, which is dead average for this time of year, so nothing to report there.
The one real highlight is the morning of Thursday, August 27th. We’re looking at a solid 10ft swell from the W, with a period of 9 seconds. That’s a heap of energy – the combined energy reading is 1533, which is strong. Because that swell is over 8ft, this is for experienced surfers only. The wind is light offshore from the ENE at 10 km/h, which will clean it right up. The swell direction is a solid WNW, straight into the point, so expect it to handle that size well.
Before that, there's a long gap with no real recommendations. After that Thursday morning window, the wind swings onshore and it gets messy again. The 29th of August has a glassy morning with a tiny 3ft swell from the WSW, but it’s just too small to get excited about. The 2nd of September morning also looks glassy, with a 4ft swell from the W, but it’s nothing special.
So, here’s the call: that Thursday morning, August 27th, is your only proper shot. It’s a big, clean, powerful swell. The rest is a write-off. Don't waste your time.
Rusty.
