The Lowdown
Right, listen up. The ocean’s been doing its thing, and it’s a bit of a mixed bag on the horizon. There’s a solid start shaping up, a definite peak mid-window, and then a bit of a fade before a late pulse that we’ll need to keep an eye on.
We’re starting off at Lesconil (Brittany). The water’s sitting at 65°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – a little gift from the ocean, not a huge deal but noticeable. The swell energy is moderate with values around the 810 and 980 mark. Wednesday morning is clean, with that WNW swell at 7ft and a period of 9 seconds. Bit of a short period, so it might not have a ton of power, but it’s surfable for a beginner on the inside. The afternoon looks better with a fresh offshore NW wind, cleaning things right up.
Thursday we get a bit more energy in the water, with the combined energy climbing towards the upper hundreds, but the swell drops slightly to 6ft. It’s still clean, but the conditions are a little “marginal” – you know, that feeling when it’s okay, but not amazing. Still, it's cleaner than a lot of the junk we see around here.
Now, here’s the stand-out. Friday is the one to circle. We see a real pulse of groundswell – a WNW swell at 8ft with a very long period of 14 seconds. The combined energy jumps to a strong 1886, which is some proper juice. The wind is a gentle offshore, making for a clean face. This is the pick of the first week. The only caveat is that 8ft of long-period groundswell can be pretty powerful, so this is for experienced surfers. It might be a bit much for the beginners, but for the crew that knows what they’re doing, this is where you want to be. Saturday has a similar size at 5ft, but the wind swings and gets a bit messy, creating some cross-chop.
We do get a good clean window on Sunday morning, with light offshore winds and 5ft of WNW groundswell at 11 seconds. It’s not the size of Friday, but it’s clean and fun. After that, the surf backs off significantly. Monday through Wednesday of the following week, the swell drops right out, with small, weak, and often onshore conditions. There’s a stretch of a few days, from Monday into Wednesday, where you’re going to be staring at flat, choppy lines. It’s a proper gap in the action.
Then, just when you’re about to give up hope, there’s a late pulse. On Monday the 28th, another groundswell fills back in. We’re looking at a W swell pushing 7ft with a 14-second period. The energy is back up there, around the 1600s. That’s another good one, clean and strong, but again, for experienced surfers with that size. We also see a big cross-onshore mess on the 30th with a 10ft swell, but the winds are going to ruin it. It'll be lumpy and poor, looking more like a kiteboarding day than a surfing day.
The last couple of days in the window drop back down again, with small swell and onshore winds, so the good stuff is definitely in that Friday and then that late Monday pulse. But remember, the further out we get, the less certain things are, so keep your fingers crossed on that late one. It’s a promising blip, but not a guarantee.

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.
