The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s happening at Locquirec over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I’ve seen more action in a swimming pool. The outlook for the next 16 days is a real struggle – we’re looking at a long, frustrating wait for anything half decent. The first proper option doesn’t even turn up until Sunday the 26th of July.
For the first week and a bit, from now right through to Saturday the 25th of July, it’s a write-off. The swell is tiny, mostly under 2ft, and the wind is just all wrong – onshore from the NE or NNE for most of it, which is a disaster for this spot. There are a couple of days where the wind goes cross-off or cross, like the 24th, but the swell is completely gutless at 0.7ft to 2ft. You’d be wasting your time paddling out. The combined energy is barely registering, with numbers in the teens and twenties (18, 22, 21, 70). A tough stretch for sure.
There’s a glimmer of hope on Thursday the 23rd with a quick jump in size to 4ft from the NNW, but that's a short period wind swell at 6 seconds and the wind is onshore. Not a keeper.
Alright, now for the one standout we actually get. Mark your calendar for Sunday the 26th of July. That morning at Locquirec is the only time worth wetting a suit. We’ve got a clean 5ft swell coming from the WNW with a period of 8 seconds, and the wind is a beautiful light cross-offshore breeze from the WNW hitting 9 mph. The combined energy jumps up to 271 (moderate), which is the biggest number we’ll see for ages. The water is about 64°F, pretty much normal for this time of year. This is a beginner-friendly spot, and with that size, it’s perfect for getting into it. Expect some company, as crowds are sometimes an issue here.
After that, the consistency drops right off. The rest of the week into August is all tiny, messy junk under 3ft, mostly blown out by onshore or cross-onshore winds. The energy numbers sink back to the weak, double-digit range. A real shame.
So, bottom line: batten down the hatches until Sunday the 26th of July. That morning is your one and only window for a fun, clean surf at Locquirec.
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.
