The Lowdown

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.

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.
