The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what the next couple of weeks are serving up for Tregastel Plage.
Honestly, looking at the whole 16-day run, it’s a bit of a tough watch. The swell is pretty much a non-starter for the first week and a half. We've got weak, short-period windswell bumping around and the wind just won't play nice. Most sessions are looking messy with cross-onshore or onshore breezes kicking up chop and making things unsurfable.
We’re finally seeing a pulse of proper energy building towards Thursday, August 20th. That morning a WNW swell fills in around 6 ft with a 9-second period, and combined energy hits a solid 439 – that’s moderate energy, finally something to work with. The wind that morning is offshore from the NNW, turning it on at Tregastel Plage. That is the standout moment in the whole outlook. Not for the faint-hearted though, as 6 ft can be a bit much for beginners. That clean window looks like the best bet of the whole forecast.
The water temp is running 66°, a touch warmer than what’s normal for this time of year, so you won’t need a full 5/4 just yet.
After that brief highlight on the 20th, things get messy again quickly. The wind swings cross-off on Friday the 21st but the swell drops back to 4 ft. Then it’s back to moderate cross-shore breezes and small, weak swell for the rest of the window.
Bottom line: save your energy for Thursday, August 20th. Get up for that morning session. The rest is largely a write-off for a paddle surfer. If you’re into it, the windy, onshore afternoons might look more interesting for a kite session than trying to wrestle a surfboard through the chop.
Rusty.
