The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Look, I’ve been going over the charts for Pointe du Toulinget and it’s a bit of a rough stretch. The water’s sitting around 65°F, which is about normal for this time of year, so at least you don’t need a winter suit.
The first week, from Thursday the 27th of August through the end of the month, it’s pretty poor. The swell is there, but the wind is a mess. We’ve got a moderate cross-shore with a cross-chop on Thursday morning, then gentle cross-onshore and fairly choppy surf on Friday. The combined swell energy is weak to moderate, with values like 125 and 146, and the period is short, around 6 to 7 seconds, so it’s not going to have much push. The wind is onshore or cross-onshore for most of the week, which is a real downer. Saturday the 29th is a total loss with a strong breeze hitting 25 mph and swell building to 2.3m, but it’s messy and cross-onshore – more of a kite session than a paddle session. Sunday and Monday see moderate to fresh cross-onshore winds, with swell energy climbing to 1010 on Monday morning, but the period is only 9 seconds, so it’s a lot of chop and not much shape.
We hit a bit of a lull from Tuesday the 1st of September through Wednesday the 2nd. The swell drops off, with energy down to 88 on Wednesday morning. The wind goes glassy on Wednesday morning, which is a beautiful thing, but the swell is tiny at 0.7m and the period is only 8 seconds, so it’s not really breaking.
From Thursday the 3rd of September, the swell picks up again, but it’s still mostly poor until we get to Friday the 4th. That’s where we see a bit of a standout. Friday morning, the swell is 1.9m from the WNW with a 10-second period, and the combined energy is 780. The wind is a light cross-onshore, so it’s not perfect, but it’s the best we’ve seen. Then Friday afternoon, the swell period jumps to 12 seconds, which is a proper groundswell, and the energy hits 1501. The wind is onshore from the WNW at 9 mph, so it’s a bit of a gamble, but for a point break, that longer period from the west-northwest might just wrap in nicely. It’s a marginal call, but it’s the highlight of the forecast.
The rest of the first week and into the second week is patchy. Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th have some promise, with Sunday morning going glassy from the south and a 1.2m swell from the west with a 10-second period, and energy at 363. That’s a clean window, but the swell is small. By Monday the 7th, the wind ramps up again, and it’s not great.
The second week, around the 8th to the 11th of September, the wind swings to the north-northeast, giving us clean cross-offshore conditions. That’s a big plus. On Tuesday the 8th, we’ve got 1.7m swell from the WNW with a 9-second period, and the energy is 440. The wind is clean, but the swell direction isn’t a perfect match for the optimum, which is west. Wednesday morning the 9th has a 2.2m swell from the west with a short 7-second period, and the wind is light cross-shore, so it’s a bit bumpy. The real standout in the second week is Friday the 11th. We’ve got a 2.3m west swell on Friday morning, 9-second period, with a clean cross-offshore breeze from the north-northeast, and energy at 823. That’s the biggest swell of the period with clean conditions. It’s going to be a bit heavy for beginners at over 2m, but for the experienced crew, that’s a session. The afternoon holds up at 2.0m with the same setup, and energy jumps to 1346. That’s the best call of the whole 16 days.
So, to wrap it up: the first week is a write-off until the 4th of September, which is a marginal call but the best of a bad bunch. The second week has a couple of clean windows, with Friday the 11th being the outright winner. It’s a long-range call, so keep an eye on it, but if the wind plays ball, it’ll be worth the wait.
Rusty.
