The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get straight into it.
To be honest, it’s a tough run we’ve got ahead for the next couple of weeks at Pointe du Toulinget. A lot of wind is going to trash the waves, and most of the time it’s just not gonna be worth paddling out. There’s a long gap of poor conditions straight through from the start right up until late in the month. The first sign of anything worth a look doesn’t show up until Thursday the 29th of August, and even that's a rough one.
Let's break it down. Thursday the 22nd of August morning you’ve got some light cross-offshore breeze making it clean, but the swell is tiny at just 3ft from the NW with a short period of 7 seconds and next to no energy (119). The wind is glassy but there’s just nothing to push your board. After that, from Sunday the 25th through to Wednesday the 28th, the conditions stay poor. There are some cleaner windows with offshore winds on Monday the 26th, but the swell is only 0.7ft to 2ft. Absolutely flat by any standard.
Now, the real story here is the end of the month. The one standout window is the morning of Sunday the 30th of August. We’ve got a solid 12ft W-NW groundswell rolling in with a period of 10 seconds and strong energy (2210). The water temp is about 65° and sits around normal for the time of year. The wind is light and cross-onshore so it’ll have a few bumps, but it's manageable. That is a lot of water moving. This is going to be heavy and powerful. It is only for experienced surfers. Beginners, stay on the beach for this one. That swell size is well over 8ft and it’s going to be a handful at this exposed point.
If you want a chance at clean conditions with that much size, you actually need to wait for Friday the 4th of September afternoon. That’s your golden ticket. The swell holds at 10ft from the west with a 9 second period, but the wind swings light offshore out of the NE. That will clean it right up. Combined energy is very strong (1548). This is the best on offer. A big, clean swell hitting a point with offshore breeze – that’s a proper session for the experienced crew. Just be aware, with a period under 8 seconds, it’s a windswell component, so the sets might be a bit more stacked together and less forgiving than a pure groundswell. Still, with that wind, it’s the one to circle on your calendar.
Stay safe out there.
