Pointe du Toulinguet Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, it’s Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you—this is a tough outlook for Pointe du Toulinguet. The next week and a half is a bit of a write-off for any decent surf, but we’ve got a glimmer of hope further out.

The first solid recommendation doesn’t show up until the morning of July 29th. So, right now, through the 20th all the way to the 28th, it’s a long stretch of small, weak waves and poor surf conditions. You’re looking at ankle-to-knee-high swell from the WNW, with heights barely scraping 1 ft most days. The wind is mostly cross-off or cross-shore, so the surface is clean, but there’s simply no energy. The combined swell energy is consistently in the weak range, and the wave comment is “poor surf conditions” across the board. Honestly, not worth paddling out for.

Now, the morning of July 29th, things get a little interesting. We’ve got a 5 ft swell from the NW with an 11-second period—that’s proper groundswell energy. The combined energy jumps to 704 (moderate), and the wind is a moderate cross-shore, which is workable. This is the best of a quiet bunch, but it’s still only rated as “marginal” due to tide or quality. The wind does pick up into a fresh breeze in the afternoon, so that morning window is your only shot. It’s big enough for intermediates, but at 5 ft, beginners might find it a bit much.

After that, the 30th and 31st drop back down to under 3 ft, and on into the first few days of August we’re back to small, clean slop with combined energy under 200. The morning of August 2nd has a glassy 3 ft from the WNW, but the period is only 9 seconds, so it’s not going to light up the point.

Overall, the standout window is the morning of July 29th. The swell direction (NW) is off the optimum (W) for this break, but the period is decent and the cross-shore wind keeps it rideable. No other session comes close. If you’re desperate, you might get a few tiny clean ones on the 23rd morning with glassy conditions, but the swell is a pathetic 2 ft with a 6-second period.

So, heads up: the first week is a complete bust. The second week offers one half-decent day on the morning of the 29th, but it’s a long-range call, so keep an eye on it. The rest of the outlook is just small and clean, not much to get excited about.

Rusty.
