The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Audierne over the next couple of weeks.
Truth is, we’re staring down a pretty grim run. The next week and a half is basically a write-off for anything decent. There’s a big gap of poor surf conditions stretching from now all the way through to the end of August and into the first few days of September. You’ll see a few small, weak pulses, but the wind is just not playing ball – mostly cross-off or cross-on, and often too strong. It’s not the kind of stuff you’d paddle out for.
We do get a bit of a bump around Thursday the 27th of August, with swell hitting 8ft from the SW, but with a strong breeze on it and a combined energy of 910, it’s going to be a messy, cross-onshore mess. That’s more of a kite-surfing show than a paddling session. The same goes for the following days through to the 29th, with 10ft swell on the Friday afternoon and a combined energy of 1497, but again, strong cross-shore wind and chop. It’s big, but it’s ugly.
The only real standout, and I’m using that term loosely, is the morning of Tuesday the 1st of September. We’ve got a 3ft swell from the W, a period of 8 seconds, and a light cross-offshore wind from the NNW. The combined energy is only 124 (weak), but it’s clean. It’s small, but it’s the cleanest we’ve seen in a while. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no shocks there.
The late afternoon on Sunday the 6th of September offers a bit more size – 4ft from the WNW with a longer 10-second period and a cross-offshore breeze from the NW, giving us a combined energy of 311 (moderate). It’s clean and might be worth a look, but it’s a long way out, so keep an eye on it.
For the rest of the period, it’s small, weak, and wind-affected. The best bet is to wait for that Tuesday morning window on the 1st of September. Keep the board waxed.
Rusty.

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.
