Larmor Plage Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's chew the fat on Larmor Plage for the next couple of weeks. It's a quiet picture, I'll tell ya that. A real slow start with nothing much doing.

There’s a big gap right at the beginning. From now all the way through to the morning of Friday, August 14th, it’s basically flat or junk. Tiny waves and poor winds. Not worth wetting a wetsuit.

Friday morning the 14th is the first chance. Larmor Plage has a clean 3ft swell from the west, with a 9 second period and a light cross-offshore breeze from the northwest. The combined wave energy is moderate at 139, but it’s still just ordinary. A real 'meh' session.

Saturday the 15th morning is similar—3ft from the west, clean, but low energy at 86.

The one that stands out is Friday, August 21st, in the morning. We’ve got a clean 3ft swell from the west-northwest, with a 10 second period. The wind is a solid offshore from the north at 15 mph, which is going to clean everything right up. The combined wave energy is 176 (moderate). It’s not a big swell, but that offshore wind makes it the clear winner for the whole 16-day stretch. The swell direction is a good match for the break. Remember, it’s over a week out, so it’s a promising bet, not a sure thing.

Saturday morning the 22nd of August is a backup. Smaller at 2ft from the west-northwest, but with a light offshore breeze and clean conditions. Low energy at 84.

Right at the tail end, Monday the 24th of August morning, we get a glassy moment. A 2ft swell from the west-northwest, with glassy conditions and barely a breath of wind. Energy is 88, so it’s small, but glassy is glassy. A longboard dream.

So, bottom line: it's a lean couple of weeks. The best bet is that Friday the 21st with the offshore wind. Everything else is small, weak, or messy. Good for a beginner paddle, but not for anyone chasing a real wave.

Rusty.
