The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer here in the Tregastel area. This is a tough one to start with, because straight up, we’re looking at a pretty grim run. There’s no surf worth paddling out for over the next week and a half. The wind is mostly side-shore or onshore, and the swell is tiny and weak. The combined energy of all swells stays under 100 (23) for the first few days, so there’s just nothing doing. It’s a real blank run, and for a spot like Tregastel Plage, that’s unfortunately not that unusual when the conditions don’t line up.
The first real flicker of life doesn’t show up until Monday, July 29th, in the morning, but even then it’s only a marginal call. The water temperature is about average for this time of year, nothing special.
Let’s look at the only real standout in this whole 16-day window, and it’s a long way out. On Monday, August 3rd, during the morning, Tregastel Plage is looking at a clean session with a light offshore breeze from the east. The swell is coming from the WNW at 4 ft, with a period of 9 seconds, and the combined energy is moderate at 243. That’s a surfable wave, but it’s not a monster. It’s clean, and the wind is cross-off, which is a big plus. The waves at 4 ft are fine for most surfers, but it’s not a beginner’s day. This is the best on offer, but being so far out, it’s more of a promising idea than a sure thing. Keep an eye on it, but don’t clear your calendar just yet.
Before that, from Tuesday, July 30th, through to the end of the forecast, the swell actually picks up significantly, with combined energy readings hitting 500 or more (711 on Saturday, August 1st morning). The swell height gets over 7 ft at times, which is expert territory, but the wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore, making it choppy and messy. It’s not going to be a fun paddle. For a beach break like Tregastel Plage, that setup with strong wind and big, messy swell is better suited for kite surfing than a traditional surfboard. The waves are there, but the quality is just not there.
So, to wrap it up: the first week and a half is a washout. The only real hope is that Monday, August 3rd morning, with the clean, offshore wind. That’s your one chance in this window. Stay patient.
