The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Locquirec over the next couple of weeks. Straight up, I gotta tell ya, the outlook is a tough one. There’s a big old gap of flatness or tiny, weak dribble for the majority of the first week and a half. The only real sign of life comes right at the back end of this 16-day window.
We’re looking at a long, dry spell. From now, right through the end of the first week of August, the swell heights are barely a ripple – mostly around 0.7ft to 1ft – and the wave comment is "poor surf conditions" with a big fat zero score. The combined swell energy is weak, barely cracking 59 (weak energy) at its best early on, and often just sitting in the teens. The wind is flipping around all over the place, mostly cross or onshore, so you’d be fighting chop for nothing. There’s nothing to get excited about here.
That flat spell stretches all the way through to the 8th of August. Finally, on Saturday morning the 8th, we get a pulse. The swell bumps up to 2ft out of the W, with a moderate combined energy of 79 (still weak energy), but the wind is light and cross-offshore from the WNW. That will clean it up nicely, making it rideable, even if the wave comment says “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” For a spot that’s been dead, it’s a glimmer of light. The water temp is about average for the time of year.
Then, on the morning of the 10th of August, we see the best of the run. The swell jumps to 4ft from the NW, but the period is short, just 6 seconds, so it’ll be a bit bumpy and disorganized. The combined energy is 95 (weak), and the wind is cross-off from the W, keeping the surface clean. It’s not a standout by any stretch, but it’s the best wave height we’ll see. For a beginner-friendly break like Locquirec, this is probably the pick of a pretty poor bunch, but don’t expect much push.
After that, it dies back down to flat and weak for the rest of the run. There’s just not much happening. For a spot that’s fairly consistent, this is a rough stretch, but these things happen. The surf might turn around, but right now, the calendar looks bare.
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.
