Audierne Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at the next stretch for Audierne. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, so let’s get into it.

The week ahead starts off with a bit of a whimper. Wednesday the 19th is pretty poor, with a fresh cross-onshore breeze and lumpy conditions on a weak 4ft swell. The energy is low (346). Thursday and Friday see the swell pick up a touch, but it stays in that marginal zone. The winds turn cross-off which cleans it up, but the swell is just a bit disorganised and inconsistent to get too excited about. We’re looking at 7ft on Thursday morning with an energy of 783, but the quality just isn't there yet.

Saturday the 22nd is a write-off. The swell is all over the place, dropping right off, and the wind is up. Not a day for it.

The start of next week stays flat and pretty grim, with very weak swells and poor energy readings. Tuesday the 25th is just about surfable but nothing to write home about. Wednesday the 26th is poor, and you're really just waiting for something to happen. There’s a definite lull here, a few days of nothing on offer.

Now, things start to look a little more promising from Saturday the 29th. We get some cleaner conditions, with a cross-off wind and a 5ft swell. The energy is getting back up there (366-390), and it feels like the ocean is starting to wake up again. Sunday the 30th morning is your first real highlight. A light breeze and clean conditions on a 4-5ft WNW swell. This is the kind of morning that makes it all worth it.

But if you want the standout of the whole period, you're circling Monday the 31st of August. The models are showing a jump in energy (912), and the morning session is looking proper. The swell is pushing 6-7ft from the west with a light wind and the outlook is for very good surf conditions. This is a reef set-up, so that longer-period west swell will wrap in nicely. This is the one to plan for. Monday afternoon looks good too, just not as big.

Now, there is some spice in the water for September 1st. We’re talking about an 8ft swell on Tuesday morning with a very strong energy reading of 1106. But the wind is on it from the southeast, and it’s looking a bit choppy. That size is getting expert territory, and with that onshore wind, it's not going to be pretty. This one is for the crew who don't mind getting a bit of a beating.

After that, the energy fades back down into the middle of the week with more marginal, onshore conditions. So, my call is this: get on the Monday the 31st early. That’s your wave. The Sunday the 30th is a solid backup. The rest of it, you might as well sit on the beach and watch the horizon.

That’s it from me. Keep it salty.
