Alright, Rusty here. Let’s chew the fat on what Locquirec is serving up for the next sixteen days.
Right off the bat, we’re looking at a real dry spell. There’s absolutely nothing worth getting wet for from now through to the 26th of July. The swell is pathetic – ankle to knee-high at best – and the wind is mostly onshore or side-onshore, just messing up what little bump there is. It’s going to be a boring stretch of flat, choppy water. The water temp is sitting about 2° above average for this time of year, coming in at 65°, but that’s about the only interesting thing for a while.
Everything changes on Monday the 27th of July. A real dose of swell finally arrives. We’re talking about a 7ft to 7ft WNW swell. The combined wave energy jumps into the moderate range (521 on Monday morning), and the wind swings offshore from the WSW. This is the clear highlight of the whole outlook. But you need to know your limits – that size is getting too big for beginners. The period is only 8 seconds, so it’s a bit of a short, lumpy swell, not a super clean groundswell.
The standout day is probably Tuesday the 28th of July. Tuesday morning is showing a solid 8ft from the WNW (1455 combined energy – strong) with a 10-second interval, and it’s cleaning up nicely with a light cross-offshore breeze from the W. The afternoon looks even more promising, with the swell still at 8ft, the period stretching out to 11 seconds, and the same clean cross-offshore wind (1545 combined energy). That is proper, dangerous, expert-level surf. At that size and with that much energy, Locquirec (which is an exposed W-facing beach) is going to be a heavy, powerful wave. This is not the spot for the faint-hearted or the inexperienced.
So, you’re going to have to sit on your hands through a long flat patch to get to that Monday-Tuesday window. But if the forecast holds, Tuesday the 28th is going to be an absolute rocket.
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.
