The Lowdown
Right, folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. I’ve looked over the forecast for Tregastel Plage for the next couple of weeks, and I’m not gonna sugar-coat it – it’s a bleak outlook. We’re looking at a 16-day run where the surf just doesn’t show up in any meaningful way. Every single session for the entire period is flagged as poor surf conditions. That’s a long stretch of nothing.
The first record we’ve got is for Saturday, the 15th of August. We’re looking at a small 3 ft swell out of the WNW with a short period of 8 seconds, and the combined wave energy is a weak 142. The wind is a cross-on from the NNW at 9 mph, so it’s going to be choppy. The water temp is 66°, which is pretty normal for this time of year. But honestly, it’s just not worth paddling out. That sets the tone.
The pattern doesn’t change. Sunday the 16th is more of the same: an onshore wind and a tiny weak swell. We get a brief spike in energy around Thursday the 20th of August, with the swell hitting 4 ft and the combined energy climbing to 242 – that’s moderate energy, finally. But it’s paired with a strong, lumpy cross-onshore wind at 19 mph. That’s not surfable; honestly, that setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer looking for wind than a surfer looking for waves.
For the rest of August, and into the first days of September, you’re looking at a lot of very small, low-energy swells, mostly under 3 ft, with periods all over the shop but rarely offering any power. The winds are generally cross or cross-on, keeping the surface messy. There’s no standout period, no clean window with a proper swell and light winds. The biggest “hope” is the very last session on Sunday the 30th of August, where we see a 4 ft swell from the W with a 9-second period, and combined energy back up to 190. But the wind is still a cross-on.
There are no good surf options in this entire 16-day window. Tregastel Plage is an inconsistent spot even on a good year, and this is one of those blanks we have to ride out. It tends not to stay this poor forever, and forecasts can shift, so keep an eye out, but for now, this stretch is a write-off for paddle surfing.
Rusty.
