The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a tough one for the Locquirec area. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with barely a whisper of ridable surf for the first ten days or so. The first real chance to wet a line doesn’t come until the very end of the run.
The pattern starts off flat and messy. Monday the 3rd through to the 10th is a total washout. We’ve got tiny waves, poor conditions, and a lot of wind from the wrong directions. The water is sitting about average for this time of year, so no surprises there, but you won’t be needing a thick suit for the lack of waves.
The first glimmer of hope comes on Tuesday the 18th of August. It’s not a classic, but it’s the best we’ve got. On the Tuesday morning, we’ll see a 5ft swell rolling in from the WNW, with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 286. The wind is a cross-offshore breeze from the WNW at 12 mph, which should keep things reasonably clean. The afternoon looks similar, though the wind picks up a touch. The surf is still going to be a bit marginal – the wave comment says the conditions are questionable – but if you’re desperate for a paddle, this is the window. For a beginner spot, this swell is manageable, but it’s not going to be the best quality.
Wednesday the 18th morning is the only real standout, and even then it’s a "best of a bad bunch" situation. The waves are small, the period is average, and the crowd factor is "sometimes" – so you might have a few others with the same idea. It’s roughly a 5ft swell from the west-northwest under a light cross-offshore breeze. The combined energy is moderate (286). It’s not going to be a day to tell your mates about, but it’s the only thing on the menu.
The rest of the 16-day window? Nothing. A long, flat gap. For a spot like this that’s fairly consistent, it’s a bit of a bummer, but these blank runs happen. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it, but for now, I wouldn’t be holding my breath.
Stay tuned, and keep your board waxed.

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.
