Tregastel Plage Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let's get into it. Honestly, looking at the next 16 days for Tregastel Plage, the news isn't great, I’m sorry to say. This stretch is looking mostly grim. We’ve got a long run of weak, small swells and almost constant wind ruining any real chance of quality. The combined energy values barely tickle 200 for most of the period, and for a good 10 days straight, it’s all marked as "poor surf conditions." This is a tough stretch for paddling.

We start with Saturday morning, July 4th. The swell is a meager 3 ft from the WNW, with a 10-second period, but a 6 mph onshore wind from the NW messes it up. The combined energy is still under 300 (209), which is nothing special. Afternoon keeps that onshore flow and bumps the wind to 12 mph, making it even worse.

Sunday the 5th is more of the same, small 3 ft WNW swell and cross-onshore winds. The wind eases a bit on Monday the 6th morning, but it’s still cross-shore and weak. We roll into pretty much blank days, with no real hope until we get a slight shift.

Honestly, there’s only one time in this whole window where it looks like you might want to get wet, but it’s still nothing to write home about. On Saturday, July 18th, the morning shows a little spike in swell to 4 ft from the NW, but the period is a short 6 seconds, which means weak, fat waves. The wind is a clean, cross-offshore from the SSW, at only 3 mph. The combined energy pushes past 100 (113), and it’s described as "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions." It’s not great, but it’s the only time the conditions aren't actively terrible. The afternoon is nearly glassy with a 3 ft NW swell, and that’s your best shot at a few fun, if weak, rollers. The water temp anomaly looks average for the time of year.

The rain and stronger winds roll through the middle of the month, including the 13th and 14th July, with a risk of thunderstorms and a fresh onshore cross-wind, so don't even bother. The last two days, the 18th and 19th, are the only ones with a glimmer.

So, look, it’s a quiet, poor stretch. If you’re desperate for a splash, the morning of Saturday the 18th is your only real bet, and even then, keep expectations low. The wind is clean, but the swell is short-period and weak. Other than that, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for most of the run.
