The Lowdown
Alright, surf is real limited for the next couple of weeks at Locquirec. We got a tricky, choppy outlook ahead, so don't get your hopes up for anything epic. Most of what's coming is small, messy, or blown out. No real standouts here, just a few mornings that might offer a half-decent window if you're desperate and local.
We start off on Friday the 11th with a tiny 1ft swell from the WNW, but a crosswind from the NW at 9 mph is already putting a slight chop on it. Not worth paddling out for.
The real window, such as it is, opens up Saturday morning the 12th. Wave height drops to 1ft from the WNW, but we get a light WSW breeze at 6 mph, clocking in as a clean cross-offshore wind. That’s about as good as it gets for this stretch. It’s surfable, but with a combined energy of just 126 and a short 8-second period, it's weak and gutless.
Sunday the 13th morning sees a bigger jump in size to 2ft from the WNW with a 10-second period and a clean cross-offshore wind from the WSW at 12 mph. The combined energy hits 530, so there’s some push, but the forecast calls it marginal thanks to questionable tides. Not a classic, but with the right bank, it could be alright for a beginner-friendly wave.
From Monday the 14th through the end of the second week, the pattern gets ugly. Tuesday the 15th afternoon sees a fresh NNW breeze at 19 mph making a mess of things. Wednesday the 16th brings bigger, choppier 2ft swell but with onshore and cross-shore winds ruining any shape. Thursday the 17th cleans up a little with cross-offshore winds, but the swell is average and the forecast still calls it marginal.
Late in the period, on Thursday the 24th, we get a brief, tantalising moment. The morning is glassy with no wind and a 1ft WNW groundswell arriving with an 11-second period and a combined energy of 372. The forecast actually says “expect good surf conditions.” That’s the single standout in this whole 16-day run. But note – it’s over two weeks out, so take it with a pinch of salt. If it holds, it could be a clean little session for beginners and intermediates, but with a steep drop-off by the afternoon as onshore winds kick in.
Overall, a pretty bleak run for Locquirec. No big swell, no clean conditions lasting more than a couple of hours. The only true highlight is that Thursday 24th morning window. Keep an eye on it, but don’t hold your breath.

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.
