The Lowdown
Alright, let's take a look at what's in the cards for Locquirec over the next couple of weeks.
First off, it's a slow start. There's a big dead patch from Thursday the 23rd of July all the way through Wednesday the 30th. Swell is tiny, wind is on it, and the energy meter barely moves. You'd be scratching around for sloppy knee-high mush. Not worth the wetsuit.
The first breath of life shows up on Thursday the 30th of July in the morning. We get a small 0.6m swell from the WNW, but the wind goes light and cross-offshore, so the surface will be clean. Water temp is about 64°, which is average for the season. It's nothing to write home about, but you could get a few longboard waves in. Just don't expect any power.
It fades again after that. Friday the 31st brings strong offshore wind from the SW, but with the swell under a meter, it'll be glassy but nearly impossible to catch anything. All show and no go.
Here's the real standout: mark your calendar for Sunday the 2nd of August. The morning session sees a solid 2.5m swell from the WNW, period of 10 seconds, and the combined energy reading is a whopping 1463, which is a serious amount of juice. That's a proper groundswell. This one's big—over 2.5m—so it's experts only. Wind is light and cross-on, so it should stay relatively clean. With that period and size, look for a reef or point to make the most of it, as a beach break might close out. This is the one to wait for.
The days following that stay chunky but the wind swings onshore from the ENE, chopping things up. By August 5th and 6th, the swell drops back down to small, weak stuff.
Bottom line: the first week is a dud. Sunday the 2nd of August morning is the only real standout—big, powerful, and for the experienced surfers only. Hold out for that one.

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.
