The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let's have a chat about what's on the cards for Audierne.
It’s a bit of a slow burn, to be honest. There’s a window of decent stuff right at the start, then it goes pretty quiet for a good long stretch. The setup around the morning of July 27th is where it’s at. We’ve got a WNW swell sitting at about 5.2ft with a nice 10-second period, and the wind is a clean cross-offshore. It’s not going to be massive, but it’ll be well-shaped and clean. The combined energy is moderate at 482, so there’s some push there, and it's a reef break so it should handle that direction well. Now, Audierne is an expert-only spot and with those conditions it’s one to get excited about for the right crew. The water temperature feels about average for this time of year, nothing weird going on there.
The afternoon of the 27th, the wind picks up to around 15.5 mph and the quality drops right off. After that, from July 28th right through until August 8th, it's pretty grim. The swell drops away and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-shore. There's absolutely nothing worth paddling out for. You’re looking at a solid 12-day stretch where you can leave the boards in the car. A few of those mornings like August 1st have offshore winds, but the swell is tiny and weak – combined energy down in the 40s and 50s. Not worth it.
But then, keep an eye on August 9th. The Sunday morning there is a stand-out blip on the radar. We’ve got a bump in swell to 8.2ft from the west. That is some proper size. The combined energy hits 1712 which is a massive surge of power, so you’re looking at a serious ocean that morning. The wind is glassy with a 3.1 mph north-northeast breeze. It's going to be absolutely clean. That said, 8.2ft is expert territory, no doubt about it. The period is only 8 seconds so it’s not a long-period groundswell, it’ll be a bit more of a wind-swell push, so it could be a bit fat and straight at a beach break, but being a reef it should offer up some steep walls. It’s a long-range call so don’t nail your plans to it yet, but it’s the only real beacon in a sea of flatness. The afternoon of that day fades with a cross-shore wind.
So, to sum it up: enjoy the morning of July 27th if you’re an expert, then be patient. Circle August 9th in the calendar, but stay loose. It’s a long way out.

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.
