The Lowdown
Alright, let's talk Larmor Plage. Gotta be honest, mate – it's a grim outlook. Lots of days with bumps in the water, but nearly all of 'em are wrecked by the wind or just flat-out gutless.
First real sign of life comes Thursday the 13th morning. You've got 3ft swell from the west with a 10-second period, and the combined energy hits a moderate 166. But the wind is side-shore, so expect some chop in the lineup. It's a start.
The only true standout – and I mean the only one – is Saturday the 22nd. The morning is the call. Swell pushes to 5ft from the WNW (that's a bit heavy for beginners, but good for the rest of us), with a 10-second period. The combined energy pumps up to 441 – the strongest push of the whole 16 days. And we get a clean offshore wind from the WNW. That means smooth, peeling waves. It's a Saturday, so the place will be packed, but that's the price you pay for the best session on offer.
For the big dogs, Saturday afternoon the 22nd has the size – a solid 6ft swell with a massive 928 energy reading. But that WSW wind hits 30 km/h from the side, turning it into a lumpy, choppy mess. For paddle surfing, it's a waste. That setup looks way more fun for a kite.
After that, it's back to the doldrums. A tiny 3ft morning on Wednesday the 26th is clean, but the energy is weak (123) and the waves are nothing to write home about.
The straight dope: If you want good waves, you wait for Saturday the 22nd morning. That's your window. The rest is a bust. It's a long quiet spell, but that one morning has real potential. Keep your eyes on the forecast.

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.
Larmor Plage is 5 km (3 miles) from Lorient. If you plan a holiday in Morbihan - Brittany, look for hotels and other accommodation in Lorient. Lorient has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
