The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Locquirec.
The next couple of weeks are a bit of a mixed bag, but there’s some hope on the horizon if you’re patient. Right now, we’re coming out of a quiet spell. The first worthwhile surf isn't until Thursday 27th August morning, so we’ve got a solid gap of about a week with nothing to write home about.
Thursday 27th August morning is where it starts to get interesting. We’ve got a clean 4ft swell from the WNW, with a gentle offshore wind from the SW keeping the surface glassy. The combined energy is moderate at 277, and the period is a decent 9 seconds. This is the first real chance for a paddle – a good, clean session for a beginner-friendly spot. The water temp is sitting at 66°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might not need the thickest wetsuit.
Friday 28th August looks like the standout of the week. We’ve got a solid 6ft WNW swell pushing through. The morning sees a moderate offshore wind from the SSW, keeping things clean and lined up. The combined energy is cranking at 560 – that’s solid, moderate energy. This is a proper step up in size, still within the beginner-friendly range, but with more push. The afternoon holds similar size, though the wind swings a touch more onshore but still cross-off, so it’ll stay clean.
Heads up for Saturday 29th August. The swell pumps up to a serious 10ft from the WNW, with combined energy roaring up to 2042 – that’s strong energy. This is too big for beginners, and only for experts who know the break. The wind is cross-off, keeping it clean, but at that size, it’s a heavy session. If you’re not an expert, give this one a miss.
After that, the swell drops off quickly. Sunday 30th August has a smaller 4ft with fresh offshore wind, but it’s marginal, and by Monday 31st we’re back to knee-high mush. The rest of the first week of September looks flat and poor, with onshore winds and tiny, weak swell.
If you’re looking to get the best waves, aim for Friday 28th August morning. The 6ft WNW swell, clean offshore wind, and solid energy make it the pick of the bunch. Crowds are possible here, so get in early.
Stay frothy.

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.
