The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's cookin' for Lesconil over the next couple weeks.
First off, the water temperature is 63°, which is running a bit colder than what we usually see this time of year – might want to grab a slightly thicker suit.
We kick off on Thursday the 27th of August, and it's a slow start. We've got small, weak swell at about 3 ft from the SW with a short period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is low at 130, and while the wind is cross-off, it's just ordinary stuff. Not worth paddling out for.
Friday the 28th is more of the same – 3 ft swell, but the wind picks up. Morning is still okay with cross-off, but by the afternoon it goes cross and gets messy. I'd skip it.
Then things heat up. Saturday the 29th brings a solid pulse of energy – swell jumps to around 8 ft from the SW (energy at 693) with a period of 8 seconds. That's a lot of juice, but a big warning here: that's too big for beginners, and even for the average surfer it's gonna be a wild ride. The wind is fresh cross-off, so it's clean, but this is expert-only territory. The afternoon nudges 8 ft and goes poor. So the morning window is the one if you've got the stones.
Sunday the 30th drops to a still-hefty 5 ft to 7 ft, but the wind is cross and gusty, plus there's rain and thunderstorms around. Not clean, so I'd sit it out.
Monday the 31st sees that big energy again – morning swell hits 8 ft from the W with a 10-second period and combined energy of 1328. That's serious power. Wind is cross-off and okay, but this is for experts only. The afternoon holds at 7 ft. If you're a strong paddler ready for a beating, there's a window, but it's heavy.
Now, here's the good stuff. Tuesday the 1st of September – mark this one. Swell drops to a much friendlier 4 ft from the W with a 9-second period, and the wind turns pure offshore from the WNW at only 9 mph. That's the magic combo. Combined energy is still moderate at 287, and conditions are clean and lined up. Best session of the early week without getting smashed.
Wednesday the 2nd and Thursday the 3rd fade out again with small, weak swell (2 ft to 3 ft) and ordinary conditions. Not much doing.
Then look ahead to Saturday the 5th of September. The morning is a stunner – glassy, zero wind, and a 4 ft groundswell from the WNW with a long 11-second period. Energy is 311, and it's clean as glass. This is your second standout. That long period means nicely shaped waves, though it might close out a bit on the beach – Lesconil's a beach and reef setup, so the reef points might be the spot. Afternoon stays clean with a light cross-off.
Sunday the 6th gets blown out by a strong breeze, so that window closes quick.
Monday the 7th of September morning brings another glassy moment – 3 ft swell from the W, 10-second period, and no wind. Quiet and clean, worth a lazy paddle if you're keen.
The second week rolls on with small, marginal swell and shifting winds through the 8th to 11th. Nothing really jumps out as a must-surf. The standout windows are packed into the first week: Saturday the 29th for the brave, and Tuesday the 1st and Saturday the 5th for cleaner, more manageable waves.
Rusty out.

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.
