The Lowdown
Alright, let me tell you how it is lookin'.
Honestly, this is a rough stretch for Locquirec. There’s a lot of time where you can leave the boards in the shed. For the first 12 days we’ve got next to nothin’ rideable, so we’re lookin’ at a big gap before anythin’ remotely worth paddlin’ out for shows up. The water temp is 66.2°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least it won’t be a shock to the system when you finally get wet.
From Friday the 14th right through to the mornin’ of Tuesday the 27th, it’s a wasteland. Poor conditions, messy winds, and just tiny, weak swell that never comes together. The energy in the water is basically nothin’ or very weak, often well under 100 (like 19 or even 2). The best of this dead period is maybe Wednesday the 28th with a tiny waist-high wave and clean conditions, but it’s barely a ripple.
The standout, and really the only one worth pointin’ to, lands on Thursday mornin’, the 27th of August. Locquirec gets a brief window of glassy conditions with a light south-west wind. Swell is around 3.6ft from the west with an 8-second period. The combined energy is moderate at 142, so there’s some push, but nothin’ crazy. It’s surfable but very ordinary. This is the only time in the whole 16 days where you won’t be fightin’ a losing battle, but don’t expect anythin’ epic. It’s clean, small, and mellow – good for a beginner to get a few foamy rides.
The rest of the outlook through to the end of August is a no-go. By Friday the 28th, we actually get a huge pulse of swell – 11.5ft to 13.1ft from the west-northwest with a long, powerful period of 12 to 13 seconds. The combined energy skyrockets to 3213 and 4788 – that’s very strong energy. But it arrives with howlin’ onshore winds (25 mph strong breeze), makin’ it a choppy, blown-out mess. That kind of size with those winds is for kites, not paddles.
So, to sum it up: you’ve got 12 days of nothin’, one mediocre glassy mornin’ on the 27th, then a massive but unrideable swell. Not a great outlook for Locquirec.

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.
