The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty, and I’m looking at what’s on the menu for Lesconil over the next couple of weeks. It’s a mixed bag, to be honest, but there’s a couple of windows that’ll get the heart rate up.

The opening days are pretty lackluster. We’ve got surfable waves on the 14th with a small 3ft swell from the W and light cross-off winds, but the energy is weak, and it feels more like a board-floating session than anything else. Tuesday the 15th morning cleans up a bit with a proper offshore from the NW, but the swell drops to 2ft. The afternoon sees the wind pick up to a fresh 22 mph offshore, and the swell bumps to 5ft from the WNW, with the energy jumping to moderate. That’s a big improvement for the afternoon – cleaner and punchier.

Now, Wednesday the 16th morning is where things start to get interesting. The swell pushes to 6ft from the WNW, with a moderate 16 mph offshore from the NNW, and the energy is strong. That’s solid, clean, and the best surf so far. The afternoon stays good but the wind gets a bit stronger, keeping it fun for the right crew.

Thursday the 17th holds onto some size, around 5-5ft, but the wind goes cross-off and the rain showers in the afternoon mess with the vibe. The energy drops a bit, and it’s not as crisp.

Here’s the real standout: Friday the 18th. Morning sees a 8ft groundswell from the WNW with a very long period of 16 seconds and very strong energy. The wind is a light offshore from the NW. That is proper, powerful, clean surf. However, at this size, Lesconil’s beach and reef setup is going to be heaving, and it’s really only for experienced surfers. Beginners need to sit this one out. The afternoon stays big at 7ft, with the period still long at 14 seconds, but the wind swings cross-off. Still excellent waves, but that morning window is the pick of the entire forecast.

Saturday the 19th drops back to a more manageable 4-5ft from the WNW, with light winds in the afternoon making for clean, fun waves. The energy is moderate. A good, user-friendly day for a wider range of surfers.

Then there’s a real lull. From Sunday the 20th through most of the following week, the swell goes small and weak. We get a few glimpses of clean conditions, like Sunday afternoon with a 4ft clean wave and Tuesday the 22nd afternoon with 3ft, but the energy is low, and the waves are ordinary. The winds are mostly cross or cross-off, but there’s not enough power to make it exciting. Thursday the 24th afternoon sees a little pulse back up to 3ft with clean conditions – a small step up, but nothing special.

After that, it’s pretty flat and messy until the end of the month. There’s a sneaky pulse on the 29th of September from a 2ft, 15-second period swell from the W, but it’s got a strong onshore wind and the conditions are poor. Not worth getting excited about.

So, the standouts are Wednesday the 16th morning for good, clean, solid surf, and then Friday the 18th morning is the absolute best on offer – a powerful, very long-period groundswell with clean offshore winds. Just know it’s big and it’s for the big kids only. The water temperature is sitting around 65°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so the rubber can be a little thinner.

Rusty.

Information about the Lesconil Surf forecast

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

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