The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Pointe du Toulinguet has in store for us over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, it’s a tough start. We’re looking at a pretty grim run of days from now through to the middle of next week. The surf is there, but it’s messy, small, and the wind is just never doing us any favours. For the first ten days or so, it’s mostly onshore or cross-shore slop. The wave energy is weak-to-moderate (61 to 155, if you’re keeping track), and the swell direction is coming from the NW, which is good for this spot, but the period is too short and the wind is a killer. You’ll see a few mornings with glassy conditions, but the swell is tiny – 2ft to 3ft – and it’s just not worth paddling out for. That’s a long, frustrating gap of nothing but frustration.
The first real glimmer of hope shows up on Monday, August 19th. The swell starts to pulse, pushing up to 6ft from the WNW, and the wind is finally a clean cross-offshore. The energy is kicking with a reading of 423, but it’s still a short-period swell (8 seconds), so it’s going to be a bit of a close-out machine. Not great, but at least it’s clean.
The standout is Thursday, August 22nd. That’s the day you want to circle. We’ve got a solid 5ft swell from the WNW, the wind is light and offshore from the E in the morning, and the energy is buzzing at 428. The wave period is 9 seconds, which is decent, and it’s a point break, so it should handle that period well. The morning session is going to be clean, with gentle offshore winds, and the afternoon is even better with a light breeze and very clean conditions and energy hitting 620. It’s the best on offer, hands down. Just be aware that the swell is a bit over 5ft, so it’s getting a little too punchy for the absolute beginners.
Following that, Saturday, August 24th, is also a solid option in the morning. A clean 4ft WNW swell with that same lovely offshore wind. The energy is a bit lower (286), but it’s a longer period at 10 seconds, so the waves will have more shape and power. That’s a great session for intermediates.
Beyond that, the swell drops right off again into the tail end of the forecast. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing wild to report.
So, to sum it up: suffer through the first week, and then get ready for a couple of really solid days around the 22nd and 24th. That’s where the magic is.
Rusty.
