The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here with a look at what’s shaping up around Locquirec.
To be straight with you, for the next week and a half it’s looking pretty flat and messy. There’s basically no surf to speak of from now all the way through to Saturday, July 26th. The onshore winds are just killing it, mostly out of the NE or NNE, and even when there’s a tiny bump of swell, the period is short and the wave state is poor. We’re talking days of that, so it’s a real dry spell. Water temps are running a touch warmer than usual for the time of year at around 64°, but that’s small comfort when you’re staring at a lake.
Now, things finally start to look a bit more promising heading into the last few days of the month. The standout window looks like Monday, July 27th. We’ve got a solid groundswell pushing in from the WNW with a height of 6ft and a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy is strong, coming in at 559. That’s the real kicker for this whole period. The wind is cross-offshore from the WNW, so it’ll be clean. This one is definitely a goer for the experienced crew.
Tuesday, July 28th is also worth a mention. The swell drops back to 5ft but the wind swings offshore from the WSW, making for clean lines. The energy is down a bit compared to Monday, but still moderate (361). You’ll find the best shapes at the point or reef setups, as that WNW groundswell can get a bit straight at the beach breaks.
Wednesday, July 29th brings a bigger pulse, with swell hitting 7ft. That’s getting expert-only territory at the beach, but with clean cross-offshore winds, the more exposed spots could be firing. The energy is very strong (726), so it’s got plenty of push. Bear in mind though, it’s a bit further out, so treat it as a promising but less certain prospect at this stage.
So, to sum it up: the whole first half is a write-off for surfing. Hold tight until Monday, July 27th – that’s your best shot, with clean, strong groundswell. After that, Tuesday and Wednesday look fun too, but keep an eye on the size.
Stay patient.

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.
