The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let’s have a look at what’s coming up for our stretch of coast.
Honestly, mate, the next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and grim. We’ve got a real dry spell on our hands. From now through to almost the end of the run, there’s barely a whisper of proper surf. You’re looking at a solid run of poor conditions, with tiny waves and messy wind. The first bit of encouragement doesn’t show up until Tuesday morning, the 18th of August.
The one and only highlight in this whole outlook is Locquirec on Tuesday morning, the 18th of August. We finally see a bit of life with a 4ft swell rolling in from the WNW. It’s not huge, just knee-to-waist high range, but it’s got that clean cross-off wind and light breeze making the surface glassy. The combined energy is still weak, only hitting 99, but after so many days of nothing, it’ll feel like a win. The water temp is sitting at a normal 65°, nothing unusual for this time of year. For beginners, it’s a good, safe size to get out there and have a play.
The rest of the 16-day window is pretty much a write-off. There are long gaps – days on end – where the numbers just don’t stack up. The 20th of August kicks up a bit more size, 4ft, but the wind swings onshore and freshens, making it lumpy and raw. The energy pushes into moderate territory (283) but the conditions just aren’t there for a good paddle. For the most part, it’s a waiting game. Keen surfers might want to dust off the kite gear for those breezy afternoons, but for us paddle surfers, be patient.
Take it easy,
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.
