Table - best surf conditions forecast for Lesconil over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about Lesconil. It’s a beach and reef spot that’s exposed to the swell. Water temp is about 65°F, which is pretty average for the time of year, nothing unusual.
The first few days are a bust. Friday the 4th and Saturday the 5th have some knee-to-waist-high swell, but the wind is all over the place and the conditions are just marginal. Not worth getting wet.
Sunday the 6th is flat and ugly. Don’t bother.
Now, Monday the 7th is the real deal. The morning brings a 6ft swell from the west with a long 13-second period, and the combined energy is a strong 1127. The wind is offshore from the WNW, and the forecast says “excellent surf conditions for experienced surfers.” This is for confident surfers—the swell is over 5ft, so it’s too big for beginners. The long period will make for some nice, powerful waves at this reef and beach setup. The afternoon holds similar quality with a 6ft swell and 12-second period, still offshore. This is the best session of the whole run.
Tuesday the 8th is a step down. The morning has 6ft but the period drops to 10 seconds, and the wind goes cross-off, making it just marginal. The afternoon has a fresh offshore wind and 4ft, but it’s weak and not really worth it.
Wednesday the 9th and Thursday the 10th are mixed. Thursday afternoon has a 7ft swell from the west with moderate offshore wind, giving “very good surf conditions.” The 8-second period is a bit short, but it’s clean and punchy.
The second week is much quieter. Friday the 11th has some clean offshore wind but the swell is only 5ft and the energy is low. Saturday the 12th through the 14th is mostly poor with onshore winds and weak, messy waves. Not worth a trip.
Then, look at Tuesday the 15th. The morning shows a 7ft swell from the WNW, with a massive combined energy of 1192. The wind is light cross-onshore, but the forecast says the swell is too big for this break. This is expert-only water, and it might be a mess. The afternoon is a bit more manageable at 6ft from the WNW, but still not great.
The rest of the second week fades out. Wednesday the 16th to Friday the 18th has some small, clean windows but nothing exciting. Saturday the 19th is poor again.
So, the standout is Monday the 7th. That’s the day to be in the water. Thursday afternoon the 10th is a solid second option if you can handle the short period. The rest of the window is mostly just waiting for the next swell.
Stay safe out there.

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.
