Larmor Plage Surf Forecast and Surf Report

G’day, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you—this stretch of coast is looking pretty darn quiet for the next couple of weeks. We’ve got a long, flat spell on the cards, so if you’re itching for a wave, you’ll need to be patient. The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t show up until around the 21st, so we’re talking a solid ten days or more of small, messy, or just plain nothing to get excited about.

For the first week, from the 8th through the 17th, it’s mostly tiny surf with a lot of cross-shore chop. The mornings are often clean but with almost no swell—think 0.7ft to 1ft at best. The afternoons pick up a little, but the wind swings onshore or cross-shore and messes it up. There’s a slight bump on the 13th with a 5ft west swell and an 11-second period, but the cross-off wind and the overall energy (442) still leaves it feeling pretty ordinary. Don’t get your hopes up. The water temp is 66°, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing weird there.

The middle of the month stays in that same holding pattern. The 19th and 20th see a bit more size, pushing 5ft to 5ft, but the period drops and the wind is all over the place—strong cross-shore and lumpy. That’s not a surf day, that’s a kite day if anything. The energy is moderate (333-406), but the quality just isn’t there.

Now, the one bright spot. On the morning of Friday the 21st, things finally line up. We’ve got a clean 4ft west-northwest swell with a 10-second period, and the wind is a light offshore from the north-northeast. That’s glassy, clean, and the energy is solid at 281. This is the standout of the whole window. Larmor Plage (Morbihan) is the spot, and for a beginner-friendly break, this is your moment. It’s not huge, but it’s rideable and, more importantly, clean. The swell direction is from the west-northwest, which is in the right zone for this spot. Just be aware it’s an inconsistent break, so you might have to wait for sets, and the crowd could be there—it’s a popular one. After that morning, the wind swings back onshore and it’s back to small and messy for the rest of the weekend.

The long-range stuff after the 21st is a bit of a tease. The 22nd and 23rd have some small, clean windows, but the swell is dropping back down to 1ft to 2ft. Not worth the paddle unless you’re desperate.

So, there you have it. One decent morning on the 21st, and a whole lot of flatness around it. Keep an eye on the forecast, though—things can change. But as it stands, that Friday morning is the one to circle on the calendar.

Rusty.
