The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's look at what we've got for Pointe du Toulinguet.
Well, I won't lie to you, the next week and a half is a tough one for a paddle. This is a spot that really needs that west swell to line up, but the conditions just aren't playing ball for most of the run. We've got a long stretch of onshore or cross-onshore winds, mostly from the NW, and the wave heights just aren't pushing through the quality barrier. The combined energy stays weak for the most part, often below 100, so it’s a lot of small, lumpy stuff.
The first real flicker of something happening comes on Thursday morning, the 13th of August. We get a bit of a cleaner look with a light NNW cross breeze and a west swell at 3ft, but the period is a short 10 seconds. The combined energy is climbing to a moderate 233, but it's still just described as marginal. It’s worth a look if you're desperate, but don't get your hopes up. The wind swings hard onshore in the afternoon, so it's a narrow window.
The most interesting, and probably the only real standout, lands on Tuesday morning, the 18th of August. The swell is a solid 6ft from the WNW with a slightly better period of 8 seconds. The combined energy is a big jump to 466, which is moderate. The wind is a light NW breeze, which is cross-on, but it's barely there, and the notes say it's marginal. This is the closest we get to a decent session. For a point break, a longer period would be ideal, but the energy is there.
Just to warn you, this is an exposed spot, and when the swell gets over 5ft like we see on the 17th and 18th, it's not a beginner's playground. By the time we get to Thursday the 20th, the swell is up again to 5ft and the period stretches to 11 seconds, with the combined energy hitting 558, but the cross-on wind is relentless, keeping it choppy.
So, to be brutally honest, if you're only into clean, lined-up waves, the first two weeks of August are a write-off. Keep an eye on Tuesday the 18th for that one chance of a bigger, if a little wind-affected, wave. It's not a total blank, but it's close.
Rusty.
