The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Lesconil.
The forecast is a real mixed bag. We get a few windows of decent, clean conditions, but there’s also a lot of wind and chop to wade through. The standout period is the first few days, but don't get too excited for anything huge.
Right off the bat, the best bet looks like Lesconil itself. It’s a beach and reef setup that’s very consistent. The water is sitting at 65°, which is about normal for this time of year.
Friday afternoon (4th September) kicks things off with a solid 5ft swell from the WNW, with a period of 8 seconds. The wind is offshore from the WNW, keeping things clean. The combined energy is moderate at 305. It’s not the biggest, but it’s clean and rideable.
Then we get a bit of a lull. Saturday (5th) has a bit more size, around 5ft to 6ft, but the wind is cross-onshore, making it fairly choppy. Sunday (6th) drops right off with small, messy waves. Not worth the paddle.
The next real chance shapes up for Monday (7th September) morning. The swell bumps up to 6ft from the west, with a long period of 13 seconds. That’s a proper groundswell. The wind is cross-offshore, and it's clean. The combined energy is strong at 910. This is a good session for anyone who’s comfortable on a bigger, longer period wave. This is the pick of the whole forecast if you ask me. Tuesday morning (8th) also looks promising with a 5ft swell from the west, offshore wind, and clean conditions.
After that, the second week is a bit of a write-off for quality surf. The swell sticks around, with some 6ft to 6ft pulses from the WNW, but the wind is nearly always cross-shore or onshore, creating lumpy, choppy conditions. There’s one bright spot on the 19th of September (Saturday) afternoon, with a 6ft WNW swell, light winds, and clean conditions. That’s a promising long-range call, but it’s a long way out.
In short, hit it on Monday morning (7th) for the best quality, or Tuesday morning (8th) for the cleanest conditions. The rest of the time, you’ll be fighting the wind.
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.
