Pointe du Toulinguet Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what the next couple of weeks are shaping up like for Pointe du Toulinguet.

The good news is, there’s surf on the way, but we’ve got a bit of a rough patch to get through first with some windy, choppy days. A classic point break set-up here, exposed to the west, so when it works, it really works, but we’ll need to be patient for the windows of clean conditions.

The first few days are a write-off, to be honest. Wednesday the 16th starts with a lumpy cross-shore mess and a solid 8ft swell, but that wind is just ruining it. Thursday and Friday are no better, with more onshore wind making things choppy and poor. It’s not until Friday the 18th morning that we get a glimpse of hope. We’ve got head-high plus swell at 8ft and a clean offshore breeze from the WNW. The wave energy is pumping at (2421), but the tide might play games with us. The period is a long 13 seconds, so those are proper groundswell lines wrapping around the point. That’s the kind of day for experienced surfers only, because 8ft at a point can be a heavy paddle.

For the standout moment, honestly, you want to circle Sunday the 20th. It’s not the biggest swell, at 6ft, but the wind is glassy in the morning with a slight air, and the water temp is about average for this time of year. The wave energy is moderate (642), and that WNW swell has a clean 10-second period. It’s not a monster, but it’ll be one of the cleanest, most fun days of the whole outlook for intermediate crew. No crowds mentioned, so you might have a bit of space. Get out there early.

The following week stays promising. Monday the 21st keeps the clean theme with a cross-off wind, but the swell drops to 5ft. Better for the longboard. Then Tuesday the 22nd gets a proper offshore breeze from the ENE with 4ft swell. Clean lines and easier paddling.

Then we get another cracker on Wednesday the 23rd. This is a long-range standout, so keep an eye on it. Swell jumps back up to 6ft with a very long period of 14 seconds. That’s proper energy (1266) and a clean offshore wind from the east. The wave quality label says it’s excellent for experienced surfers. That’s a day for the performance crew to get excited about.

After that, the surf fades. The end of September and into the 1st of October drops off with small, onshore, or just messy conditions. Saturday the 26th is tiny, and the last day of the outlook, Thursday the 1st of October, is just a blown-out mess with a tiny swell.

So to wrap it up: the best pure quality is this Sunday the 20th for the glassy conditions. The best power and shape for the advanced crew is that Friday the 18th morning and the Wednesday the 23rd. Everything else is a gamble with the wind.

Stay stoked,
Rusty.
