The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks.
Right now, we’re in a bit of a flat spell. The first proper surf we’ll see is a tiny pulse on Tuesday afternoon, September 1st. Lesconil will have a weak 3ft swell from the west with a short period, and the combined energy is a low 167, so it’s weak. The water temp is sitting at 64°F, which is about average for the time of year. The wind is cross-off, but the swell is just too small and weak to get excited about. Honestly, it’s surfable, but very ordinary.
The next few days are a write-off. Wednesday and Thursday have a bit of swell, but the wind is all over the place and the conditions are just poor. We’ve got a gap of nothing really worth paddling out for until we get to Monday morning, September 7th. That’s when things start to get interesting.
Monday morning, September 7th, is a standout. The wind goes glassy, the swell is a clean 3ft from the west, but the period stretches out to 13 seconds, which is solid groundswell. The combined energy jumps to 380, which is moderate. This is a long-period swell, so it’s best for the point and reef sections at Lesconil, where the banks will hold it better. The sets will be a bit more spread out, but the shape should be good and the paddling will be easy. This is the pick of the first week.
Monday afternoon gets a bit bigger, 6ft from the west at 12 seconds, with a cross-off wind. The energy is strong at 789. That’s a lot of power, but it’s a bit too big for the beginners. Tuesday morning, September 8th, is another 7ft swell from the west, but the period drops to 9 seconds, so it’s a bit more messy. Tuesday afternoon sees the swell hit 7ft, and the finder says it’s actually too big for this break. The wind is strong, and the combined energy is a hefty 766. For the experts only, and even then, it might be a bit of a handful.
After that, we get a messy mix of onshore winds and lumpy conditions for a few days. The wind is just trash for the rest of the week. We’ve got a few more days of poor conditions until we get to the next real highlight.
That comes on Tuesday, September 15th. The afternoon session is the best call of the whole outlook. The swell is 6ft from the west at 10 seconds, but the wind is light cross-off. The combined energy is 632, which is strong, and the forecast says "very good surf conditions". This one is a solid option for the experienced crew. The swell is a bit big for beginners again.
Wednesday, September 16th, finishes with a 4ft swell from the west and a fresh offshore wind from the northwest. That’s clean, but the energy is down to 316, so it’s a weaker wrap-up.
So, the standout is Monday morning, September 7th, for the glassy, long-period groundswell, and Tuesday afternoon, September 15th, for the clean, powerful surf. Keep your eye on those.
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.
