Table - best surf conditions forecast for Audierne over the next 16 days.
Alright, let’s talk about Audierne in feet and miles per hour, yeah? The outlook is pretty grim for most of the next two weeks. From Saturday the 11th right through the following week, there’s a long stretch of tiny, weak, and messy surf. Nothing worth paddling for.
The first sign of life comes on Monday the 20th. The morning shows a 4ft swell from the northwest, but it’s short-period at 6 seconds, so it’s going to be a bit disorganized. The wind is light and cross-offshore, keeping it clean, but the energy is only moderate (123). It’s surfable, but just average.
The real highlight – and the only true standout – is Wednesday the 22nd. The swell builds to 5ft in the morning, then 5ft in the afternoon, both from the west-northwest with an 8-second period. The wind goes moderate and cross-offshore in the afternoon, making it clean. The combined energy hits a solid 277 in the afternoon, so there’s some proper punch. Audierne is a reef break, so it handles this energy well, but it’s strictly for experts. The swell direction is a good fit for its optimum southwest. This is the day to be in the water.
Thursday the 23rd gets bigger, with 7ft swell, but it’s cross-shore and messy. By Saturday the 25th, we’re looking at 8ft, which is big and only for the experts, and the wind is cross-shore and chopping it up. The water is a touch warmer than usual at 18°, so a spring suit might be enough.
Honestly, if you can only get out once, make it Wednesday the 22nd. The rest is a bit of a washout.

Information about the Audierne Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Audierne provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Audierne can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Audierne 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. If you surf the same spot (Audierne) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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 Audierne 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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
