Alright, let's get into it. This is Rusty, and I've got a look at what's coming our way for Lesconil over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – the next week to ten days are a bit of a bust. Don't expect much at all. We're looking at a long, dry spell of poor conditions from now until around the 16th of July. Tiny waves, messy winds, and just not worth paddling out for a surfer looking for a proper session.
Now, the water temp is sitting at 64°F, which is pretty average for this time of year, so at least it won’t be a shock when you get in.
The first real glimmer of hope arrives on Friday morning, July 17th. This is where things start to change. We’ve got a new pulse of swell moving in from the west at 4ft, with a period of 9 seconds, creating a moderate wave energy (264). The wind is offshore from the WNW, the direction this spot loves, meaning the waves should be clean with some push. Friday afternoon is still okay, but the wind picks up a bit. That Friday morning window looks like the first proper chance to get a wave.
But the standout, the one you want to circle on your calendar, is the morning of Saturday, July 18th. This is the best on offer. The swell is up to 6ft from the west, with an 8-second period and strong wave energy (428). It’s pushing a bit, but the wind is offshore from the NW, keeping the faces clean. This will be punchy, with some good, hollow wedges off the low-tide banks. Because the swell is over 5ft, it's getting a bit much for absolute beginners, and the crowds at this spot are often around, so expect some company for those clean waves.
Later on Saturday and into Sunday morning (July 19th), the swell hangs in there around 5ft to 5ft with clean offshore winds, but the wind gets pretty strong in the afternoons. The quality is still there, but you’ll want to be an early bird.
After that, it looks like we lose the clean wind window. Monday and Tuesday see the swell picking up a bit more, getting up to over 7ft, but the wind swings onshore, turning it into a mess. That Tuesday afternoon of July 21st, the forecast shows a 7ft swell from the WNW with a longer 10-second period and very strong wave energy (884), but the wind is all wrong, making it a bit of a washing machine. That much power and onshore wind makes Lesconil a more interesting prospect for kite surfing than a paddle surfer.
So to wrap it up: suffer through the flat spell this week. The real window hits on the morning of Friday, July 17th, but the day to get excited about is Saturday, July 18th. Early sessions with offshore wind and a healthy swell. Long-range call, but it's looking promising.
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.
