The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here again. Let’s cut to it: the surf for the next two weeks is mostly a waiting game. The water’s sitting right around 65°F, which is about normal, so no need to dig out the thickest suit. The first week is pretty flat and weak, with most days having waves under 3 feet and periods that are short and gutless. The combined energy is barely registering, often under 100 (30-87). There are a few clean moments, like early Sunday morning, but they’re just not worth the paddle.
Things pick up a touch from Tuesday the 12th, with waves around 3 feet and energy in the low hundreds (110-175). Mornings are clean, but the afternoons get chopped up by fresh breezes. It’s surfable, but you’d be working hard for not much reward.
The first real standout is the morning of Monday the 17th of August. We’ve got a better swell at 5 feet from the WNW, with a period of 8 seconds. The energy jumps to 292, which is a solid step up. With light cross-off winds, the face should be clean. This is your best chance for a proper surf in the first half. Lesconil (Brittany) is a beach and reef setup that’s very consistent, and this should offer some decent lines. Crowds are often around, so expect some company.
For the next week, the 19th and 20th of August look promising but with a caveat. Swell is up to 5-5 feet from the WNW, and the energy is strong, in the 270-305 range. The mornings are clean with offshore winds, but the period is still only 8 seconds. This is proper size, and the reef sections at Lesconil will handle it better than the beach. It’s a session for the more experienced.
The weekend of the 22nd and 23rd sees the biggest swell, hitting 7-8 feet. But the wind is screaming at 28 mph, and it’s messy and lumpy. The energy is massive (796-968), but it’s a storm surf. This is expert-only, and honestly, it looks more like a kite surfing day than a paddle surfing day.
So, to sum it up: Monday the 17th morning is your best bet for a clean, fun wave. The 19th and 20th have the size and clean mornings, but it’s more of a challenge. The last few days are too big and messy. The first week is a blank, so don’t get your hopes up. Keep an eye on the forecast, but as it stands, pick your moments and enjoy the clean ones.
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.
