The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on offer for Locquirec.
Straight up, the next few days are a bit of a write-off. We’ve got a messy start with heavy rain and a 16 mph cross-off wind on Tuesday morning, pushing a 5 ft swell from the west, but the energy is moderate (450) and the conditions are just poor. Tuesday afternoon is even worse with a 6 ft cross-shore mess from the NW. Wednesday and Thursday aren’t much better – mostly cross-shore winds and marginal surf. The water is 65°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Sunday, the 13th of September. That morning, we’ve got a 5 ft swell from the WNW, a solid 10-second period, and a clean offshore wind from the WSW blowing at 12 mph. The combined energy is moderate (452), and the wave comment says to expect good surf. This is the standout of the whole outlook. The wind is offshore, the swell is solid, and Locquirec is an exposed beach break that handles a west swell well. It’s a fairly consistent spot, so even though it’s beginner-friendly, it should be worth a paddle. The only downside – it can get crowded sometimes, so get there early.
After that, things drop off again. The second week is a long, dry spell. From Monday the 14th through to the end of the window on the 23rd of September, the wind is relentless from the north and east, mostly cross-on or onshore, and often fresh breeze strength. The swell sticks around – there’s even a 4 ft, 13-second groundswell on the 23rd – but the wind will ruin it. The combined energy on that last day is moderate (434), but with an 19 mph cross-on, it’s just not surfable. Honestly, for a spot that’s fairly consistent, this is a rough run.
So, the only real call here is Sunday morning. If you can surf then, go. Otherwise, it’s going to be a long wait for the next clean window.
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.
