The Lowdown
Right then, let me level with you, this is a tough one for Tregastel Plage. Looking at the whole 16-day window, there’s nothing good to report. Not a single session I’d want to be a part of. The forecast gives us zero out of ten for the whole run, and I can see why.
The whole stretch is plagued by poor surf conditions. The wind is mostly cross-onshore, and often strong, with gusts regularly hitting 15 to 25 mph. That just chews up any chance of a clean face. We do get some clean pockets on a few mornings (like the 23rd and 24th), but the swell is tiny—just 1ft to 2ft. Not enough to push you along. There is a bit of a pulse around the 20th of August with the swell climbing to 6ft from the WNW, giving us some moderate to strong combined energy (586), but the wind is a fresh cross-onshore mess, making it lumpy and choppy.
There’s another spike on the 1st of September when the swell hits 7ft from the WNW with strong energy (588), and the wind is onshore from the NW at 22 mph. Again, just blown-out conditions. For a beach setup like this, it’s more of a kite-surfing show than a paddle-surfing session. The water temp is a pleasant 66°F which is about average for the time of year, but you won't be enjoying it in that slop.
Honestly, this is a blank run for the area. It happens. We just have to wait and hope the next set of charts brings something better.

Information about the Tregastel Plage Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Tregastel Plage provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Tregastel Plage can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Tregastel Plage surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period.

Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Tregastel Plage may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself.
