The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, this time in feet and miles for you landlubbers who think in old-school numbers. We’re looking at Lesconil, a beach-and-reef setup exposed to west-southwest. Water temp’s 68°, which is a touch warmer than usual for the season.
First few days, it’s flat as a pancake. Wednesday the 22nd, waves barely a foot, maybe 2–3 second period, cross-off and clean but no energy to speak of (combined energy 17). Thursday the 23rd, same story. Friday the 24th brings a little bump to around 2 feet in the morning, but it’s choppy and from the east-southeast with a pitiful 4-second period. The afternoon is clean but drops to half a foot. Saturday the 25th is even smaller – a few inches with offshore wind. Not worth suiting up.
Sunday the 26th, now we’re talking. Waves building from 5 feet to nearly 6 feet by the afternoon out of west-northwest, 7- to 8-second period, combined energy hitting 392. Fresh offshore wind both sessions. That’s a solid size; it’s getting into expert territory for this break, and with a short period, it’s going to be a bit lumpy but punchy. Crowds are frequent here, and with real swell finally showing, expect a pack.
Monday 27th morning is the standout for the whole outlook. Gl...assy as glass, light wind, waves about 4–5 feet from west-northwest, 9-second period, combined energy of 333. That’s moderate-strong energy, clean faces, and the swell direction lines up well. Best session no question.
Monday afternoon gets windy again. Tuesday the 28th is a dud. From Wednesday onward it’s a mix of small waves and ordinary conditions. August 1st has a chance: around 4 feet from the west, 10-second period, energy 346, but rain showers and cross-off wind. August 4th Tuesday morning is another decent call: 4 feet, 8-second period, light offshore northwest wind, clean, energy 245. Worth a look.
Overall, the highlight is Monday July 27th morning – glassy, chest-high sets, clean, solid energy. After that, it’s hit or miss through early August. For now, that Monday morning session is the one to aim for.
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.
