The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what's on the cards for our local zone.
Gotta be straight with you – the next week and a half is a bit of a write-off for any decent paddle surfing. We’re looking at a long, frustrating gap of nearly ten days with nothing worth getting excited about. The wind is just a mess, swinging onshore and cross-shore, and while we do see some swell pulsing up, especially around the 28th and 29th, the conditions are just plain ugly.
We see some energy around the 6ft mark on the 28th, but with a 25 km/h south wind blowing straight onto it, it’s going to be a washing machine. The combined swell energy is reading 826 (moderate) but it’s all for nothing with that wind. A couple of afternoons, like the 28th and 31st, show a brief clean-up with a cross-off breeze, but the scores are just too low to call it a goer. Honestly, with those strong winds and a beach/reef setup, it looks more like a day for kite surfing than a surfboard.
Okay, now for the light at the end of the tunnel, and it’s a proper one. The real standout window opens up on Friday the 4th of September.
Audierne (Audierne) – This is the one to circle. Early morning on Friday the 4th of September is looking like the pick of the entire forecast. We’ve got a clean 6ft swell rolling in from the west with a very long period of 12 seconds – that’s proper groundswell energy. The combined energy is up at 984 (strong). But the best part? A whisper-light 5 km/h cross-off breeze from the WNW. It’s going to be glassy, clean, and lined up. Now, this is an expert-only reef break, and it can be inconsistent, but on a day like this, the quality will make it worth the wait. Just keep in mind that long-period swell like this can be a bit straight at some beach breaks, but the reef here will handle it perfectly.
The day after, Saturday the 5th, also has some potential with a fresh offshore wind from the north, but the swell drops, so Friday is the clear winner. We also see a late call for Tuesday the 8th with some solid 8ft swell and clean conditions, but it's further out, so less certain.
Stick with it, the wait will be worth it.
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. 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.
