The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into what’s coming up for the local breaks.
We’ve got a bit of a mixed bag on the horizon. The first few days are going to be a write-off, but there’s some proper swell on the way if you’re patient. The first real chance to get wet isn’t until Tuesday afternoon, and that’s where the standout window sits.
Lesconil (beach and reef) kicks things off on Monday the 7th, but it’s a bit of a tease. We’ve got 6ft of swell from the west with a 13-second period, which sounds beefy, but the wind is a messy cross-off at 9 mph. The water is sitting at 66°, which is about a degree warmer than normal for this time of year – a nice little bonus. The combined energy is solid at 1173, but it’s just not clean enough to get excited about.
Tuesday the 8th is a write-off in the morning – rain and howling 28 mph westerly winds making it a total mess. But hold onto your board, because Tuesday afternoon is the one. The wind swings to a clean offshore from the northwest at 22 mph, and the swell is a solid 8ft from the west-southwest. The period is a short 7 seconds, so it’s a windswell, but with that wind direction, it’ll be a rippable, powerful wave. The combined energy is pumping at 987. This is going to be a proper session, but at 8ft, it’s one for the experienced crew only. Beginners, sit this one out.
Wednesday morning the 9th cleans right up. The offshore wind drops to a light 6 mph, and the swell settles to a user-friendly 4ft from the west-northwest with a 9-second period. The energy is moderate at 417. This is your best bet for a clean, fun session without the heavy stuff. The afternoon is a little smaller and cross-off, so stick to the morning.
Thursday the 10th is flat and onshore – forget it. Friday the 11th brings a glassy morning with a 4ft south-easterly swell, but it’s pretty weak at 220. If you’re desperate, it’s surfable, but it’s ordinary.
The next real standout is Tuesday the 15th. The morning is a clean offshore breeze from the northwest at 16 mph, with a 3ft west-northwest swell. The afternoon is the bigger call: a 5ft swell from the west-northwest with a longer 11-second period and a fresh offshore wind. The combined energy jumps to 798. That’s a quality, powerful wave. Keep an eye on that one.
Wednesday the 16th has a solid morning session with a 5ft swell and a 12-second period, but the wind is cross-off. It’s still good, but not as clean as Tuesday.
The following week has some promise, but it’s more of a waiting game. The 21st and 22nd have some small, clean offshore winds, but the swell is tiny. Honestly, the best windows are the 8th, 13th, and 15th of September.
Overall, the standout is Tuesday afternoon, September 8th. That 8ft west-southwest swell with a clean 22 mph offshore wind is the one to circle. It’s big, it’s clean, and it’s got power. After that, the 15th looks like a solid second act.
Stay stoked, and keep your eyes on the horizon.
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.
