The Lowdown
Well, folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you—this next stretch is a bit of a tough one for Lesconil (Finistère). Over the entire 16-day window, the surf is pretty lackluster, with no real standouts to get excited about. The water’s sitting at 66°F right now, which is about normal for this time of year, so at least the temperature’s not a worry.
The first couple of days, Saturday 1st and Sunday 2nd August, offer waves around 2ft to 1ft with weak energy, and the winds are all over the place—cross-off, cross-on, offshore—but none of it adds up to anything decent. The swell is mainly from the west, short period too, so it’s all pretty ordinary.
Monday 3rd August morning sees a slight bump to 2ft from the west-northwest, but again, it’s just surfable, not good. The energy is weak. The pattern continues with small, weak swell through the week, with a bit of a pulse on Wednesday 5th afternoon hitting 4ft from the west with moderate energy, but the wind is cross-off and the quality is still poor. Thursday 6th morning has 3ft from the west and offshore wind, but the energy is only moderate and the period is short, so it’s lackluster.
After that, it’s a long, flat run. From Friday 7th all the way through Saturday 16th August, you’re looking at tiny waves—mostly under 2ft—with low energy and variable winds. A few sessions have offshore or glassy conditions, like the morning of Thursday 13th August with 3ft from the west and a glassy wind, but the energy is only moderate and the swell is short period, so it’s still nothing to write home about. The best I can say is that on Thursday 13th morning, it’s clean and glassy, but with just 3ft and weak energy, it’s only just surfable.
Honestly, there’s no standout day here. The biggest swell is 4ft on Wednesday 5th afternoon, but with cross-off wind and poor quality, it’s not a recommendation. For beginners, anything over 5ft is too big, but that doesn’t even come into play. The whole period is a blank run for Lesconil—small, weak, and uninspiring. Forecasts might change, but right now, this is a poor stretch.

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.
