The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the Lesconil area over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, I’ve gotta be straight with you – this is a tough outlook. We’re looking at a real stretch of poor conditions to start. From Tuesday the 21st right through until Saturday the 26th of July, there’s just nothing doing. The swell is tiny, wind is messy, and the energy is flat. You’ll see a few days there with combined energy values as low as 1 (that’s dead flat) and up to only 35. It’s a total write-off for a solid five days. Don’t even bother waxing up.

Now, things start to get a bit interesting on Sunday the 26th of July. We’ve got a fresh pulse of swell coming in, but it’s a double-edged sword. By Sunday afternoon, the swell jumps up to 7ft from the WNW with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy hits 588 – that’s a solid, powerful push. The wind is offshore and fresh, so the setup looks clean, but here’s the catch: that’s a lot of water moving for a beach-and-reef break like Lesconil. For the experienced crew, it could be a proper session, but for beginners, it’s way too big and gnarly. Even the forecast says it’s too big for this spot. Monday the 27th backs off a touch to 6ft to 5ft, still with offshore wind and good energy (455 to 676), but the wind is fresh and strong, so it’ll be a battle.

The real standout, the one you want to circle on your calendar, is Tuesday morning the 28th of July. The swell settles to a clean 4ft from the WNW with a period of 10 seconds – that’s a nice, long groundswell that will wrap in cleanly. The wind is glassy, dead calm, which is about as good as it gets. The combined energy is a solid 235, which is moderate and punchy. This is the pick of the 16 days, no question. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no nasty surprises there.

After that, it drops away again. We’ve got a few days of tiny, weak swell with poor winds, then a minor improvement on Monday the 3rd of August and Tuesday the 4th of August. Those mornings offer 3ft to 3ft from the WNW, with moderate offshore winds and combined energy around 116 to 123. It’s surfable, but it’s ordinary. Not a standout, just a chance to get wet if you’re desperate.

So, to sum it up: the first week is a bust. The one true highlight is Tuesday morning the 28th of July at Lesconil – glassy, clean, and a nice long-period groundswell. Get on it if you can. The second week is mostly small and 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.
