The Lowdown
Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a slow start here. The surf is pretty marginal for the next couple of days, with small, weak swell and less-than-ideal winds. There’s a window of a few days where it’s just not worth getting wet.
The real pulse starts to show around Wednesday the 17th, with the swell building through the week. It’s not until Friday the 18th that things get properly interesting, with a strong push of WNW groundswell at 2.5m and a long 15-second period. That’s a solid amount of energy (3074) and you can feel the power in the water. It’s a little on the bigger side, so it’s for the more experienced crew out at Audierne, and with that much west in the swell, you want to be on the reefs where it’ll wrap and hold its shape better than a beach break. The wind is clean and offshore Friday morning, which is a proper session, though the afternoon gets a bit of cross-chop.
The standout, though, is Monday the 21st. The swell is still a solid 1.7m with a 13-second period from the WNW, and the light offshore NW breeze makes for glassy, clean conditions in the afternoon. That’s the pick of the week for sure, with good energy (946) and proper shape. It won’t be huge, but it’ll be clean and lined up, with the conditions making the most of the swell. Crowds are possible, but on a day like that, everyone’s happy.
After that, it fades. The wind picks up from the east mid-week and the swell drops off, with Wednesday the 23rd looking like a write-off. By the 26th, there’s a bit more west in the swell, but the wind is all over the place, so keep your expectations low.
Water temps are sitting around 18°, which is about normal for this time of year, so a spring suit is fine.
The other highlight worth a mention is Sunday the 27th, with clean cross-off winds from the ENE and a 2-1.6m WNW swell rolling in. It’s not as strong as the 21st, but it’s a decent run to finish the window.
Overall, don’t rush out for the first few days. Let it build, hit that Monday the 21st, and maybe snag a session on the 27th. It’s a week of waiting, then a couple of proper windows.

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.
