The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the next couple of weeks around Audierne. Gotta be straight with you – it’s a slow start and a long wait. The first week and a half is pretty much a write-off. We’re looking at tiny, weak swell barely tickling the reef, with heights mostly stuck around 0.7ft to 1ft. The combined energy is a measly (15) at best early on, so you’re not missing a thing. There’s a real flat spell here from Friday the 17th right through until the 25th of July. Nothing doing.
Saturday the 26th of July shows a change, but it’s not a good one. Swell bumps up to 3ft from the WNW, but the energy jumps to (121) and then (132). Problem is, it’s cross-shore wind and a bit choppy – not the clean, lined-up waves we’re after. The conditions are poor, so it’s more of a messy combo than a session.
The real standout, the one you’ve been waiting for, arrives on Thursday the 30th of July. Now we’re talking. The swell cranks up to 13ft from the W, with a very long period of 12 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell, packing some serious power – the combined energy hits a massive (4502). This is big, expert-level stuff. It’s cross-offshore wind, which will keep the face clean, but at this size, it’s a heavy beast. This is a day for the experienced crew only. The reef at Audierne will be handling that long-period energy, shaping up some deep, powerful lines. The water temperature is sitting at 67°, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so you can leave the extra rubber at home.
Friday the 31st of July is still a good one, but a step down in size. The morning looks magic with 8ft from the WNW and glassy conditions. The energy is still strong at (1111), and that offshore wind will have it clean. It’s still sizeable, so keep your wits about you.
After that, the swell starts to fade through the start of August, dropping back to 4ft on the 1st, and the wind swings cross-shore, making it ordinary again.
So, to sum it up: the first week and a half is a total no-go. The only days worth marking on the calendar are the 30th and 31st of July. That Thursday the 30th is the big one – a serious, powerful, expert-only swell. The 31st is a close second, with cleaner conditions but a bit less oomph. Don’t hold your breath for the rest.
Rusty.

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.

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.
