The Lowdown
Alright, let me break it down for you here at Larmor Plage. The water is sittin' at 66°F, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year – not a bad way to start.
We’ve got a real quiet start with almost nothing rideable for the first couple of days. Tuesday the 15th is flat with some clouds and poor surf, so don't even bother.
Wednesday the 16th morning, the swell finally picks up a bit to about 5ft from the WNW with a period of 10 seconds. The wind is offshore, which is clean. The combined energy reaches 435 (moderate energy). It’s a solid window for a beginner or intermediate session at Larmor Plage, but it’s not a standout.
Thursday the 17th and Friday morning the 18th – here’s our big highlight. Friday morning the 18th, we see a jump to 6ft swell from the W with a very long period of 17 seconds. The combined energy is 2097 (strong wave energy). The wind is cross-offshore and only a gentle breeze. That’s a big groundswell, so the waves will have real punch and shape, but a period that long can make a beach break like Larmor Plage a bit straight and tricky. Still, for experienced surfers, this is the best on offer with excellent conditions. It’s the standout session across the whole forecast.
From Saturday the 19th through to Tuesday the 24th, surf drops back way down. We’re looking at 2ft to 3ft stuff with moderate cross-shore winds, hardly worth suiting up. Expect a boring run for several days there.
Late in the window, around Saturday the 26th September, another pulse shows up in the morning with 6ft swell from WSW and a long period of 17 seconds, combined energy 1738, but the cross-shore wind and moderate chop keep it marginal. The afternoon improves to 6ft from the W with 15 seconds period, glassy conditions – that could shape up alright for the more experienced crew, but it’s a distant prospect, so keep an eye on it.
If you’re a beginner, the bigger days like Friday the 18th are well over 5ft, so give it a miss. For the kite surfers, the days with moderate cross-shore wind and solid swell – like Thursday the 17th or Saturday afternoon the 26th – look way more inviting for flying than paddling.
Overall, don’t hold your breath this week. The real deal is Friday morning the 18th with that clean, powerful groundswell.

Information about the Larmor Plage Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Larmor Plage provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Larmor Plage can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Larmor Plage 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 (Larmor Plage) 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 Larmor Plage 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.
