The Lowdown

G'day, it's Rusty here, and I've had a good look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks. This one's a bit of a mixed bag, so let's get into it.

The standout spot is Lesconil, a beach and reef break that's very consistent. The water temperature is sitting at 65°, which is pretty much bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.

We get a bit of a slow start. Friday the 21st of August offers a modest 5ft swell from the WNW with a 9-second period, and the wind is clean offshore from the NW at 19 mph. The wave energy is moderate at 306, but it's rated as marginal, so don't get too excited. Saturday and Sunday look pretty flat and ordinary, with small, messy waves and poor conditions. Monday the 24th through to Wednesday the 26th also looks poor, with onshore winds and lumpy, choppy surf. The energy is moderate, topping out at 312 on Wednesday afternoon, but the wind is on it, so it's a write-off.

Now, here's the interesting part. Thursday the 27th of August sees a jump in swell, with a 6ft to 8ft swell from the WSW and WNW, and the wind goes cross-off, keeping it clean. The energy is strong (536 to 807). But, and this is a big but, the swell is predicted to be too big for this break. At 8ft, it's getting into expert territory. Friday the 28th pushes up to 10ft, with a massive 2650 energy reading on the afternoon, but again, it's too big. Saturday the 29th morning is still solid at 8ft and clean, but still too big before it starts to drop off. Sunday the 30th afternoon is the first real hope, with a 6ft swell from the W, clean cross-off winds from the NNW at 6 mph, and moderate energy of 428. Conditions look good, but the break rating is still a 2 out of 10, so it's a bit of a gamble.

Monday the 31st of August has a 7ft swell from the W, but it's too big. Tuesday the 1st of September and Wednesday the 2nd are small and clean, but not enough energy. Then, around Thursday the 3rd of September, we get another spike of sizable swell, up to 10ft, but again the forecast says it's too big for the break. After that, it fades back into small, poor conditions.

So, the honest truth is, there's no real standout quality session in the next 16 days. The swell comes in too big for Lesconil, and when it's manageable, the conditions are poor. The only real window of hope is the afternoon of Sunday the 30th of August, with a clean 6ft swell, but even then, it's a long shot. For now, it's a waiting game. Keep an eye on the forecasts, as this spot is very consistent, so it won't stay like this forever.

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.
