The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
It’s been a pretty quiet spell for Locquirec, and honestly, the first week and a half aren’t offering much to write home about. We’ve got a lot of weak, short-period swell and onshore winds messing things up. The water temp is sitting around 65°, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.
The first real chance for a decent wave doesn’t roll in until Wednesday, August 5th, in the afternoon. That’s when we finally see a bit of a pulse. You’ll get waves around 5ft coming from the W with a period of 8 seconds. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the WNW, so the surface should be clean. The combined energy is moderate (317). It’s not a standout, but it’s the first surfable option after a long dry stretch.
The real standout window is Thursday, August 6th, and Saturday, August 8th, but you need to be savvy about it.
On Thursday morning, August 6th, the swell jumps up to 8ft from the WNW, with a period of 10 seconds. That’s a solid groundswell with moderate energy (1055). The wind is a gentle cross-shore from the NNW. The size is pushing into expert territory, so this isn’t for beginners. The break is exposed, so expect a lot of power.
The biggest event of the forecast is Saturday afternoon, August 8th. We’re looking at a 10ft swell from the WNW, with a long period of 11 seconds. The combined energy is very strong (1870). The wind is a moderate cross-shore from the NW. This is a big, powerful swell. For a beginner, this is way too big. For the experienced crew, this is where it gets interesting, but the forecast flags it as potentially too big for this spot, so be prepared for washing machine conditions. The long period means the sets will be clean and powerful, but at a beach break, it might close out. It’s a high-risk, high-reward call.
Beyond that, things drop off again. The rest of the second week looks small and weak, with a few days of clean, small waves in the 2ft to 4ft range, but nothing that will get the heart racing.
Keep an eye on that Thursday and Saturday, but don’t go in expecting a classic. This is a wait-and-see kind of stretch.
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.
