Locquirec Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's cut through the noise and look at the next couple weeks for the Locquirec zone. I won't lie to you, the start of this window is a dead loss. From August 5th through to about the 14th, we're looking at a proper flat spell. If you've got a board with wax on it, you might be better off just leaving it in the car. The energy is weak, the swell is tiny, and the wind is all over the shop. It's a whole lot of nothing.

The combined energy on the 5th is only (157) and 263 coming from the WNW, but the period is short and the winds are just messy. It's a full-blown closeout at best, and a lake at worst. Forecast scores are big fat zeros. The water is about average for this time of year, no surprises there. We see a bump on the 6th, but it's crossed up and useless. This dry spell goes on for over a week, and it's going to feel like an eternity.

Now, the light at the end of the tunnel. Around the 15th, things get a bit more interesting. The energy jumps to (449) with a 1.7m swell from the WNW, but the wind is still on it, making it a messy, choppy mess. Not the one. But hold on to your hat because the real story is the tail end of the forecast.

August 17th and 18th are your days. That's the standout. On the 17th, we've got 1.6m to 1.8m of WNW groundswell with a period of 8 seconds. It's a little short, but the energy is building, hitting (341) and (407). The winds are cross-off, which will keep it clean and lined up.

But the 18th is the one. The swell jumps to 2.2m to 2.3m from the WNW, with a 10-second period. The combined energy is cranking at (1030) and (1065), which is some serious power. It's bigger, it's more consistent, and the wind, while fresh, is still cross-off. This is proper surf. This is a lot of water moving, so it's not for the faint of heart. Leave the wavestorm at home for this one; this is for the crew who mean it. This is the one to circle on the calendar, even if it is a week and a half out. The following day, the 19th, still has a decent 1.5m from the WNW and the energy is still respectable, so the tail end of that pulse will be fun.

So there you have it. A whole lot of nothing for the first week and a half, bookended by a potentially proper little run at the end. August 18th is the standout, and the 17th and 19th aren't too shabby either. Keep your eyes on that forecast, because if that wind holds, Locquirec could be firing.

Rusty out.
