The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into it for Lesconil.

First off, the water temp is sitting at 65°, which is pretty much right where it should be for this time of year, so no need to dig out the thickest rubber just yet.

The big picture: don't hold your breath for a classic run. We've got a bit of a tease on Friday, then a long, flat spell of messy, wind-affected junk before things get dangerously big at the end of the month. The real standout window is tight.

Our best bet lands on Friday morning, the 21st of August. Get on it early. Lesconil, being a beach and reef set-up, is going to see a clean 5 ft swell from the WNW, with a period of 10 seconds. That's a solid, shapely groundswell. The wind is offshore and light to moderate at 12 mph, which is exactly what you want – it'll keep the surface silky. The combined wave energy is a moderate 415, hinting at some proper push. Friday afternoon holds similar size but the wind picks up to 19 mph and the period drops a touch, so the morning is the pick.

Then come Saturday, the 22nd, it all drops off. We're looking at tiny surf for days. From Saturday through to Monday, the 26th, it's a mix of onshore winds, short-period windswell, and generally poor conditions. There's a lot of nothing here, with energy readings dropping into the double digits. It's a frustrating stretch.

Things get a bit more interesting by Wednesday, the 27th, but the wind is on it. Then, from Thursday the 28th through to Saturday the 30th of August, the swell cranks up. The combined energy is massive – over 1000 – with 10 ft+ waves. But here's the warning: the guidance says this is too big for Lesconil. That's expert-only territory, and even then, the wind is howling at 28-40 mph for a lot of it. For the average surfer, this is a no-go. It might be more interesting for the kite crew.

After that big blow, the start of September looks cleaner. Wednesday morning, the 2nd of September, is worth a mention. We've got a gentle offshore wind from the NNW at 9 mph, grooming a 5 ft swell from the WSW. The energy is a moderate 320, and with light winds, things should be clean. It's a week and a half away, so keep an eye on it, but it's a promising little window.

For now, the call is clear: Friday morning is the session. Don't sleep on it.

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.
