The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for the next couple of weeks.

The next 16 days are a bit of a mixed bag for our shores. Right now, there’s nothing on offer for the first few days, so we’re looking at a quiet start. The first real glimmer of hope comes on Thursday morning, the 13th of August, with a pulse of energy.

The standout window is Thursday morning, the 13th of August. We’ve got a 3ft swell rolling in from the W, with a solid 10-second period. The wind is blowing offshore from the NW at 12 mph, which is going to keep things clean. The combined wave energy is pushing moderate (279), so there’s a bit of grunt in the water. This is the best bet for sure. The afternoon stays offshore but the wind picks up to 19 mph, making it a bit more challenging, but still surfable.

Friday the 14th is still rideable. Morning sees a 3ft swell from the W with a gentle offshore breeze, but the energy drops back (136). It’s ordinary, but it’s a wave. The afternoon gets a bit of a bump to 4ft from the WNW, but that 22 mph offshore wind makes it a battle.

Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th are a write-off. The swell is there, up to 4ft, but the wind is messy – cross-off and onshore directions – and the period drops right off to 6 or 7 seconds. It’s just not going to be any fun.

After that, we’re looking at a long, lean stretch. From Monday the 17th through to the 26th of August, the swell is small and inconsistent, mostly under 3ft, with weak energy readings (often under 100). The wind is all over the place, sometimes offshore, sometimes cross. It’s the kind of run where you’d be better off checking the tide pools. There’s a brief moment on the morning of Wednesday the 19th with a 3ft swell and offshore wind, but it’s barely worth the paddle.

The guided pick for the whole period is Lesconil, a beach and reef set-up. It’s very consistent, exposed to the swell, and the optimum direction is from the WSW. The best quality we see is on Thursday the 13th morning, and that’s the one to aim for. Water temp is sitting at 65°, which is bang on average for the time of year, so no surprises there.

So, to sum it up: Thursday morning the 13th is your day. Get out there for a clean session before the wind kicks up. The rest of the window is a waiting game.

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.
