The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let's break down what's on the menu for Audierne over the next couple of weeks.
First up, the water temp is sitting right around average for this time of year, so nothing wild there. We've got a bit of a mixed bag coming our way. The early part of the window is a write-off, but there are a few specific windows that will get the stoke up.
The real standout is Friday morning, August 21st. Audierne is a reef setup, so it needs the right direction, and we're getting a clean 5 ft swell from the WNW, which is a good angle. The real kicker is the offshore wind from the NNW at 9 mph, which will groom those waves into perfect lines. Expect a long period of 10 seconds, giving the waves some decent grunt, and the combined energy sits at 514 (moderate). This is the session to circle.
Now, the rest of the week is a tough one. Thursday the 20th has some size, with 7 ft swells, but that strong 19 mph cross-off wind from the WNW makes it a messy, marginal affair. The energy is moderate (765), but the wind is just too strong to make it enjoyable. Saturday the 22nd drops right off with tiny 2 ft swell and next to no energy (120). From Sunday the 23rd through to Wednesday the 27th, it's a flat spell of poor surf, with nothing worth paddling out for.
We get a flicker of hope on the 28th. Friday afternoon shows a 6 ft WNW swell with a cross-off wind, but it's still a marginal call due to tide. The energy is moderate (795). Then, on Tuesday morning, September 1st, we see a promising return. A 7 ft swell from the west with a clean cross-off breeze from the NNE at 12 mph. The energy is moderate (652), and at 7 ft, it's getting a bit sizey for beginners, but fine for the rest of us. The following Wednesday morning, September 2nd, has a similar 6 ft from the WNW, but with a light cross-shore breeze only, so not as clean.
The long-range outlook for the beginning of September shows a few more marginal windows, but the wind is a persistent issue, often onshore or cross-onshore, keeping the quality down. The standout is still that Friday morning, August 21st.

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.
