Audierne Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s brewing out there for Audierne.

First up, I gotta be straight with you – the next week and a bit is looking pretty grim for a proper paddle. We’ve got a long stretch from now right through until Friday the 21st where the swell is just too weak and the conditions are pretty ordinary. There are a few mornings with clean, offshore wind, but the waves are tiny and gutless – think 1ft to 3ft, and the energy in the water is just sad (29 to 238). It’s surfable but very ordinary, and honestly, not worth getting wet for unless you’re desperate for a dribbly log session. The water temp is about average for this time of year, nothing wild.

The real standout, and the only time I’d actually get excited, is Sunday the 23rd. That morning, Audierne is going to fire for the experienced crew. We’re looking at a solid 7ft swell from the WNW, with a period of 10 seconds – that’s a proper groundswell with some punch. The combined energy is a hefty 1682 (strong), and with a gentle offshore breeze from the NNE, it’ll be clean as a whistle. This is an expert-only reef break on a good day, and with that size, it’s definitely too big for beginners. The crowd factor says “sometimes,” so you might have some company, but with waves like that, you won’t mind.

Before that, Saturday the 22nd is worth a mention, but with a caveat. The morning sees a big 12ft WNW swell with a 12-second period (very long period groundswell) and energy through the roof at 3104. However, the wind is light and cross-shore, and the forecast says marginal conditions. That much power on a reef can be heavy and close out if the tide isn’t right, so only for the brave and the very experienced. The afternoon drops to 10ft and goes cross-off, which is better, but still a lot of water moving.

After that, Monday the 24th drops right off into small, weak, cross-shore junk. So really, your window is that Sunday morning. Get on it.

Signing off,
