The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down Locquirec in feet and miles per hour.
The week starts off flat and ugly. Monday the 14th is a no-go with a 3ft cross-shore dribble and light winds. Tuesday the 15th stays small with onshore junk. Wednesday the 16th sees the swell jump to 7ft from the WNW at 9 seconds, but cross winds and chop make it a messy one. The energy is moderate (632-794), but the conditions are marginal.
Thursday the 17th morning is the first real highlight. A clean 5ft WNW swell with a solid offshore breeze from the WSW at 16 mph. That’s proper offshore, so expect clean lines. The energy is moderate (373). A great session for a beginner-friendly spot.
Friday the 18th morning pumps up to 7ft from the WNW with a long 14-second period. That’s a lot of energy (1487) and power, so it’s one for the experienced crew only. Clean cross-off winds make it rideable, but it might be a bit too straight for the beach break.
Saturday the 19th morning is another good one: 4ft WNW swell with a solid offshore breeze from the SW at 12 mph. Clean, moderate energy (461), and the break is exposed. Get in early.
Sunday the 20th morning is the standout. A 4ft WNW swell with glassy conditions – zero wind from the ESE. That’s as clean as it gets. The energy is moderate (308), but the glassy surface makes those waves look perfect. This is the best session of the run.
After that, it’s a slow fade. Monday the 21st still has 4ft but with cross-on winds, so not worth it. From Tuesday the 22nd onwards, the swell drops to 2ft to 4ft, mostly with onshore or cross-on winds and poor conditions. The combined energy drops to weak levels (as low as 6-175). A few days show longer-period swells (up to 15 seconds), but fresh cross-onshore winds make it lumpy and messy.
The water temp is 64°, a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
Bottom line: Sunday the 20th morning with glassy 4ft WNW swell is the pick. Thursday the 17th morning with clean offshore winds is a solid second option. After Sunday, it’s a long dry spell, so get out there while you can.
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.
