The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here with the long-range look at the surf. We're starting off with Locquirec. Water temp is about 67°, feeling a little warmer than usual for this time of year. The first few days are totally flat, so no need to rush. We've got a quiet spell right off the bat.
The first real chance to get wet comes on Saturday the 29th in the afternoon. The swell jumps to 7ft from the W, but the wind is screaming at 22 mph. It's a messy, high-energy setup (639 combined), but only really interesting if you're flying a kite instead of paddling. Not a surfer's wave.
Sunday the 30th morning is better. A clean 5ft swell from the W, with a light offshore breeze from the SW at 12 mph (355 combined). That's a proper surfable wave for most folks. The afternoon gets wrecked by wind, so get out early.
The standout is Monday the 31st. The swell pumps to 8ft from the WNW, with a long 10-second period and a massive 1118 combined energy reading. This is a big, powerful groundswell – experts only. The wind is cross-off at 16 mph, keeping the surface clean. This is the best power and size in the whole forecast.
Tuesday the 1st of September offers a more friendly 4ft WNW swell with gentle cross-off winds (274 combined). A good clean session for intermediate surfers and longboarders.
Things go quiet again until Saturday the 5th of September. That morning is a real gem: glassy conditions, a light 3 mph wind from the W, and a clean 4ft WNW swell with a 10-second period (291 combined energy). Thats surf of the month potential right there. The afternoon gets a little bumpy, but the morning is perfect.
The second week gets patchy. There’s a decent window on Monday the 7th of September with a 4ft W swell and light winds (256 combined), but the consistency and quality drop off after that. The 8th and 9th have some size but poor wind.
Bottom line: catch Sunday the 30th for a solid session, don’t miss Monday the 31st if you're experienced, and lock in that glassy Saturday the 5th of September. The rest is mostly for the kite crew or a paddle when you're bored.
Rusty.

Information about the Locquirec Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Locquirec provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Locquirec can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Locquirec 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 (Locquirec) 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 Locquirec 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.
