Pointe du Toulinguet Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what the next couple of weeks have in store for us at Pointe du Toulinguet.

Right off the bat, the first few days are a write-off. Thursday and Friday are a complete mess – onshore slop, cross-onshore chop, nothing worth paddling out for. The water’s sitting at about 64°, which is pretty average for this time of year, and the energy is just all over the place with poor conditions.

Now, Saturday the 5th of September is the real standout. We get a clean morning with a light cross-offshore breeze from the ESE, and the swell has some proper grunt to it – about 7 ft from the WNW with a period of 13 seconds. That’s a nice groundswell, carrying strong energy. This is a point break that loves a W to WNW swell, and with that offshore wind, it’s going to be clean and lined up. This one is for experienced surfers though – that’s solid size. It won’t be a beginner’s day.

Saturday afternoon gets a bit messy as the wind swings onshore, so make the most of the morning.

Sunday the 6th is small, just around 3 ft, but clean in the morning with a cross-off wind. Not much punch there.

Then we hit another rough patch. From Monday the 7th right through to Monday the 14th of September, it’s mostly bumpy, onshore, or just plain messy. There’s some size at times – Monday morning has about 8 ft from the W with a 12-second period and very strong energy – but the wind is cross-onshore and the surf quality is poor. It’s not worth it. Even the smaller, cleaner days in that stretch don’t have enough going on. It’s a long flat and choppy run.

Finally, Tuesday the 15th of September shows a glimmer. Morning brings WNW swell at about 5 ft with an 11-second period, light offshore from the NE, and clean conditions. The energy is moderate, and it’s surfable – but it’s nothing to get too excited about. The wind picks up and messes up the afternoon.

Then on Wednesday the 16th of September, we have a super early glassy session. The wind is dead flat from the E, swell is only about 4 ft from the north, but the period is a very short 6 seconds. It’s glassy, but that short period doesn’t build much shape, especially on a point. Still, if you want a quiet, clean paddle, that’s your window.

After that, it drops right off into small, weak surf for the rest of the outlook.

So the bottom line: Saturday the 5th of September morning is the one to circle. That’s your best bet for some proper, clean, groundswell waves with some size and direction working perfectly for Pointe du Toulinguet. Everything else in the 16-day window is either blown out, undersized, or just not worth the drive.
