The Lowdown

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on offer for Lesconil over the next couple of weeks. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, with a real punch of swell in the middle, but we’ve got to be smart about when to get wet.

The first real chance to paddle out comes in on Friday, the 28th of August. The water is currently sitting at 63°, which is a bit colder than usual for this time of year, so you’ll want that 4/3. Morning brings surfable waves with a clean 3ft from the west, but the wind is a cross-off, so it’s not perfect. By the afternoon, that swell sticks around, but the wind swings cross and it gets messy. Not the best start.

Saturday the 29th looks like a write-off for paddle surfing. The swell is firing up to 10ft from the WSW, but it’s being hammered by a 25 mph wind. The combined energy is a thumping 998 (moderate to strong), but the wind is just too strong. This setup is more interesting for the kite crew than us.

We get a bit of a break on the 30th, but the swell is still 7ft from the WSW, and the wind is a cross-off. The forecast notes the swell is actually too big for this break at that point. You’d be scratching your head, not catching waves.

Now, the real standout is Monday, the 31st of August. The morning session is the best on offer. We’ve got a 8ft swell from the west, with a nice 10-second period, and the wind is a clean cross-off from the WNW. The combined energy here is a solid 1137 (strong). The swell is on the bigger side, pushing into that expert territory, but the conditions are clean. This is a proper window. The afternoon drops to 7ft, still clean, but the morning is the one to aim for.

After that, the surf settles down. Tuesday the 1st of September has a little 4ft from the west, but it’s a bit lacklustre. The best of the smaller stuff comes on Saturday the 5th of September. Morning has a nice 5ft from the WNW with a very long 13-second period, and the wind is light offshore from the WNW. The combined energy is 706 (moderate). That long period will make for some lovely, lined-up waves, but it’s a groundswell, so it might wrap a bit too straight at the beach breaks. It’ll be better down the reef. Still, a clean, offshore morning with waist-to-chest high waves is a real treat.

The second week gets a bit quieter. There’s a bit of a pulse on the 10th of September, but the wind is howling at 28 mph, so it’s a no-go. The best bet in the second week is actually the morning of Saturday the 12th of September. It’s tiny, just 1ft, but the wind is offshore from the NW. It’s a clean, quiet morning for a longboard, but only if you’re desperate.

Overall, the standout is undeniably the morning of Monday, the 31st of August. Get on it. The smaller, cleaner window on the 5th of September is a solid backup. The rest is pretty average, with a few days in the first week where the swell is just too big for the setup.

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.
