The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down what’s coming over the next couple of weeks. It’s a patchy run, but there are a couple of sessions that’ll get your heart rate up.

First off, the big picture: we’ve got a mix of small to modest west and northwest swells, with mostly offshore to cross-offshore winds keeping things tidy. Water temp is about what you’d expect for this time of year, nothing unusual. The wave energy will be moderate at best, but when everything clicks, it’ll be a good time.

The clear standout is Thursday morning, August 13th, at Lesconil. The swell is a clean 3ft from the west, with a 10-second period giving it some proper grunt. The wind is a light 12 mph from the northwest, straight offshore, so you’re looking at glassy, clean lines. The combined swell energy is moderate (279). This is the pick of the bunch – good wave quality, perfect wind, and it’s a very consistent break. Crowds are often around here, but for waves like this, you deal with it. The break is a beach and reef setup, so it’ll handle that west swell well.

Thursday afternoon on the 13th backs off a bit – wind jumps to 19 mph, still offshore, but the energy drops (252) and the tide could throw a spanner in the works. Still rideable if you’re keen.

Friday the 14th starts with a smaller 3ft swell and lighter 9 mph offshore breeze – very clean but the energy is weak (136). Surfable, but nothing special. Friday afternoon gets gusty again with 22 mph wind.

Saturday the 15th is cross-offshore, with the swell edging up to 4-4ft, but the period drops to 8 seconds and the wind gets fresh. It’s clean but not great – the energy is moderate (198-246) but the quality is lacking.

Sunday the 16th is more of the same: small, weak, and only just surfable. The wind stays cross-offshore. Energy is low (99-162).

Monday the 17th things go flat – tiny 2ft waves or less, with energy in the single digits. Not worth paddling out.

Tuesday the 18th sees a little bump to 3ft swell but the period is short (7 seconds) and the energy is very weak (76). Ordinary at best.

Wednesday the 19th is flat and weak again.

Now, here’s the next real highlight: Thursday morning, August 20th. The swell is back up to 4ft from the west-northwest, period 9 seconds, and the wind is a moderate 16 mph from the northwest, straight offshore. The combined swell energy is moderate (240) and the surf quality is expected to be good. It’s not as clean as the 13th, but it’s still a solid call for a surf.

Friday the 21st morning is also worth a look – 4ft from the northwest with a 9-second period, lighter 9 mph offshore wind, and the energy jumps to 370. That’s a decent push and clean conditions, though the wind is gentle. A good second option.

After that, from the 22nd onward, the swell fades and the winds get messy or onshore. The 24th has a 5-5ft swell from the west, but it’s onshore wind with rain, making for poor conditions. Not a paddler’s friend.

The last week of the month is small and weak again, with the odd clean but tiny day. Nothing to write home about.

So, to keep it simple: get in the water Thursday morning, August 13th for the best mix of size, clean wind, and energy. Thursday the 20th and Friday the 21st mornings are your backup standouts. The rest is mostly flat or forgettable.

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.
