The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with the outlook for our local banks. We’ve got a bit of a slow start here in Lesconil (Finistère), but some proper windows of clean swell to get excited about. The water temp is sitting pretty average for this time of year, so no surprises there—just your usual autumn feels.
The first real chance to get wet is Friday morning, September 11th. The combo of a 5 ft swell from the west, a 10-second period, and light northwest winds swinging offshore is going to serve up some clean, green lines. The wave energy is moderate (400), and it’s glassy, so get your early session in. This is probably the best on offer for the whole run if you ask me—classic Lesconil. Expect a few others out because it’s often crowded here, but the quality should be worth it.
Friday afternoon gets a bit tricky with a strong cross-offshore breeze picking up, so the morning is the window.
Saturday the 12th starts dead flat with glassy conditions and a knee-high 3 ft swell from the west. It’s surfable but ordinary. Round two on Saturday arvo looks better: a clean 3 ft wave with a light cross-offshore breeze. It’s a good one for the longboard.
Now, Sunday the 13th—this is a standout morning. We’ve got a 5 ft swell from the WNW with a nice 11-second period, and it’s glassy as hell. The wave energy is strong at 463. You’ll get clean, punchy walls. Get out there early before the wind swings offshore for the afternoon which will still be okay but not as perfect.
Monday the 14th is a write-off. Onshore winds and weak swell. Tuesday the 15th has a morning window with a fresh offshore breeze and waist-high waves, but it’s not the best quality—though clean enough for a quick paddle. Wednesday the 16th is better: 6 ft of WNW swell with a moderate offshore wind, moderate energy at 408. This one’s a bit punchy, solid for intermediate crew but maybe too much for beginners. Thursday 17th also holds clean with a 4 ft swell and light offshore wind, very tidy.
We get a bit of a gap in quality through the end of the week due to cross-onshore winds and choppy conditions, but don’t write off Tuesday the 22nd. That afternoon session is special: a 4 ft WNW groundswell with a long 14-second period and very gentle cross-offshore breeze—clean, lined-up waves with serious glide. The energy is high at 863, and the forecast is promising. This is a big one to circle.
After that, late September gets messy. Strong winds and onshore conditions take over. Thursday the 24th sees a 7 ft swell from the WNW but it’s too big for this break and the wind is junk. Only experts should even look at it. The run fades out with poor conditions through to Saturday the 26th.
To wrap it up: get out Friday morning the 11th for the best combination of size and conditions, and pencil in Tuesday 22nd afternoon for a long-period gem. Everything else is picking your windows.
Stay stoked,
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.
