The Lowdown
Alright, I’m gonna level with you. This next couple of weeks at Lesconil is a real head-scratcher. You’re gonna need to be patient.
Right now, and for the first several days, the swell is tiny and the quality is pretty ordinary. It’s not completely flat, but we’re looking at waves around 1ft to 2ft with short, weak periods. The combined energy is low, barely hitting 70 to 70 (combined energy of all swells directed here 70 to 70). Winds are mostly cross or cross-off, so it’s not a total washout, but honestly, it’s not worth paddling out for. There’s a gap of about five or six days with nothing really worth getting excited about.
Things start to get a little more interesting around Tuesday the 4th of August. The swell bumps up to a consistent 3ft, coming from the WSW, but the period is still short and the combined energy (combined energy of all swells directed here 129 to 136) is still moderate. Winds are on the cross-shore, creating a bit of chop. It’s surfable, but only just. The real issue is that Wednesday the 5th of August sees a jump in swell to 5ft, but the period drops to 6 seconds — that’s short-period windswell, and the combined energy jumps to 256 (combined energy of all swells directed here 256). The wind is cross-off, so it’s clean, but the waves are likely to be fat and unexciting.
Now, if you’ve got a bit of patience, the standout window is Sunday the 9th of August and Monday the 10th of August. Sunday morning brings a solid 8ft swell from the W, with a 9-second period, and the wind is offshore light at 6 mph. The combined energy is massive at 937 (combined energy of all swells directed here 937). The only problem — and it’s a big one — is that the forecast says the swell is predicted to be too big for this break. This is a beach and reef setup, and 8ft with that kind of energy is going to be heavy and possibly dangerous. Expert only territory. Monday the 10th of August is a better bet for the average surfer: 6ft from the WSW, with a 8-second period, and glassy conditions in the morning. The combined energy is still strong at 416 (combined energy of all swells directed here 416), but that glassy wind is a major positive. The break will be clean, but expect it to be too big for beginners. The standout here is Monday morning – if you’re an experienced surfer, that’s the pick.
Later in the week — Tuesday the 11th of August afternoon — there’s a window of 3ft with a 9-second period, combined energy at 271 (combined energy of all swells directed here 271), and light cross-off wind. The description says “expect good surf conditions,” so that’s a solid option for a more relaxed session. Wednesday the 12th of August is similar, with 3ft and glassy conditions again in the morning.
After that, the surf fades back to small, weak, and unremarkable for the rest of the 16-day window. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual there.
So, to sum it up: the first week is mostly a write-off with small, weak waves. The standout is Monday the 10th of August, especially the morning glass-off, for experienced surfers. Sunday the 9th is huge but dangerous. The second week has a couple of OK afternoons, but nothing to write home about. Keep an eye on the forecasts, but for now, don’t sell your soul for a session.

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.
