The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up for Locquirec.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – the next couple of weeks are a bit of a mixed bag. We’ve got a serious dry spell coming up, with no real standouts for the first ten days or so. From Wednesday the 12th through to about Monday the 24th, the surf is pretty much a write-off. There are waves, sure, but the conditions are just ordinary at best, with winds all over the shop and the energy just not coming together. You’ll see a few days with small, weak swell, but the wind is never quite right. It’s a right frustrating stretch.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t show up until Sunday the 23rd. The morning session is the pick of the early part of the run. We’ve got a 5ft swell rolling in from the west-northwest, with a period of 8 seconds. The wind is offshore from the southwest, blowing light and gentle, so the surf will be clean. The combined energy is moderate at 330, so there’s some push behind it. This is the best on offer for a while, but it’s still a week away, so don’t lock it in just yet.
Now, hold on to your boardies, because things get a bit wild on Thursday the 27th. The swell is predicted to pump up to a massive 10ft, also from the west-northwest, with a period of 9-10 seconds. The combined energy is through the roof – 1469 in the morning and 1625 in the afternoon. That’s some serious, heaving energy. The wind is cross-off, keeping it clean, but honestly, this is too big for Locquirec. It’s a spot for experts, and only the most experienced crew should even think about it. The swell is predicted to be too big for this break, so for most of us, this is a day to watch from the cliffs.
So, the long and short of it is: you’ve got about ten days of flat to poor surf, a small but clean window on the 23rd morning, and then a massive, expert-only session on the 27th. Keep your eyes on the forecasts.
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.
