The Lowdown
Right, listen up. Rusty here. I’ve been staring at the charts for Locquirec and, to be honest, it’s a pretty grim outlook for the next week or so. We’re looking at a long stretch of weak, messy, and generally un-surfable conditions. The water’s sitting at about 65°, which is pretty normal for the time of year, so nothing weird going on there.
The first real chance to even think about a paddle comes on Wednesday, August 12th. The morning session offers the only glimmer of decency in this whole long run. The swell is tiny, just 2ft from the W with a period of 10 seconds, and the combined energy is a weak 83. But the wind is a light, cross-offshore breeze from the W, which will keep the surface clean. It’s not going to be epic, but it’s surfable after all this nothing. The afternoon sees the wind pick up, which kills the vibe.
After that, we’re back into a dry spell with poor conditions and choppy seas right through until August 20th. From the 20th on, we finally see some size arrive, but the wind is a problem. On August 21st, we get a solid groundswell from the WNW. The Friday morning has the swell pushing 7ft with a period of 9 seconds, and the combined energy is a strong 659. That’s a powerful swell, but it’s big for this spot. The wind is offshore, which is good, but at that size, it’s for experienced surfers only. The afternoon is a bit smaller at 6ft, but still a solid wave. Keep in mind, with a period of 9 seconds, it’s not a long-period groundswell, so it won’t have that super clean, lined-up look, but there will be power.
Overall, the standout is the morning of August 21st for the size, but it’s a big, expert-only wave. If you’re after a cleaner, smaller wave, the morning of August 12th is your best bet, but it’s tiny. Don’t get your hopes up for the rest of the run.
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.
