Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into it for Audierne.
Right off the bat, the first week and a half is a bit of a write-off, I'm not gonna lie. It's a long, dusty stretch from Wednesday the 8th of July through to Saturday the 19th. There's barely a bump of energy, and what little wind we get is mostly cross or cross-off but never really lining up to make anything decent. A few mornings might look glassy with that tiny 2ft swell, but it’s just not packing any punch, with combined energy barely scraping into triple digits a couple of times, mostly sitting weak in the 90s or lower. We're looking at a real flat spell in the middle, with waves dropping to 0.7ft and energy down to single digits. It’s a frustrating wait.
Hang in there, because things take a proper turn. The real action, the standout you've been waiting for, is Monday the 20th of July. The morning is looking like the pick of the entire forecast. We've got a solid 7ft swell rolling in from the WNW with a period of 9 seconds, and the wind is set to be light offshore from the North. That's a recipe for clean, groomed lines at this reef setup. The energy is pumping hard with a combined value of 608, telling you there's proper power. This is a wave for the experienced crew though – anything over 5ft starts to get serious, and at 7ft, it's expert territory only at Audierne. The afternoon stays chunky at 7ft, but the wind goes cross-off, so still surfable, just not quite as perfect as that morning session.
Up to that point, the water temp is sitting at 65°, which is a touch warmer than normal for the time of year. A nice bonus if you're paddling out in a thinner suit.
Now, after that Monday peak, it fades quickly. Tuesday the 21st drops back to 5ft with strong, fresh cross-off winds that are going to chop things up. Then it’s a steady decline back into small, weak slop for the rest of the week.
So, to keep it simple: the first 11 days are a no-go. Your one true shot is the morning of Monday, 20th July – be ready for it. It's a promising window, but being that far out, keep an eye on the forecast for any shifts.
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.

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.
