The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks. Truth is, it’s a pretty bleak picture for Lesconil. We’re looking at a long stretch of nothing much, so don't go getting your hopes up too early.
We’ve got a real quiet start. The first few days show tiny, weak swell that’s just not got the beans for a proper paddle. It’s basically a waiting game. The first time we see anything even vaguely surfable is on Thursday the 6th of August. The morning shows a bit of a pulse, with swell coming from the WNW at 3ft, but the period is a short 7 seconds, so it’s going to be a bit weak and crumbly. The combined energy is only 119 (moderate), so it’s not got much push. The wind is a gentle offshore from the NNW, which will keep the surface clean, but it’s still just ordinary, surfable waves but nothing to write home about.
The afternoon of the 6th sees a bit more height at 4ft, but the wind picks up to a fresh 19 mph offshore from the NW, turning it into a bumpy, blown-out mess. Not worth it.
There’s a tiny window again on Monday the 17th of August in the afternoon. The swell is 3ft from the WNW, with a combined energy of 112 (moderate), but the wind is cross-on from the SSE at 9 mph, making it choppy and messy. It’s a very marginal option, and honestly, it’s just not a good look.
The rest of the forecast is a whole lot of nothing. We’ve got days of onshore winds, cross-off winds, and tiny swell. The standout window, if you can call it that, is the Thursday morning. It’s the only time we get a clean, offshore wind with a wave that’s big enough to wobble about on. For the beginners, the swell is under 5ft, so it’s manageable, but the short period won't give you much to work with.
Lesconil is a beach and reef setup, exposed to the WSW swell, but the wind directions are all over the place. The water temp is sitting at 66°, which is about normal for this time of year, with an anomaly of only 0.9°. So, you’re not freezing, but you’re not warm either.
To be honest, for most of this period, with the combo of onshore wind and small, weak swell, it’s going to look more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. The cleanest conditions are on the glassy mornings, but there’s just no swell to ride.
Stay patient, keep an eye on the charts, and maybe pick up a new board for the next swell.
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.
