The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s coming up at Locquirec.
The next week and a half looks pretty average to be honest, a lot of marginal days with onshore or cross-breezes mucking things up. There’s not one single standout that’s a total home run, but the signal gets stronger around Monday the 21st and the following Sunday the 27th looks like it could be a nice clean session.
We start off with tiny, messy surf. Monday the 14th morning brings a weak, ordinary 3ft swell from the WNW, period a short 9 seconds, and only 149 units of energy. The wind is cross-off from the WSW at 6 mph so it is clean, but it’s just not enough to get excited about. The water is 63°, which is about average for this time of year.
Tuesday the 15th offers a little more size but the wind swings cross and cross-off, gusting 12 mph. The swell bumps to 5ft Tuesday afternoon from the WNW, with energy up to 270, but still a short 8-second period – not much shape or power.
Wednesday the 16th is a write-off – rain showers and a 12 mph cross-on breeze, with a messy 7ft NW groundswell (10-second period) but the wind just chops it all up. The energy reading is 838, so there’s some punch there, but it’s not for paddling.
Thursday the 17th is better in the morning – offshore wind from the WSW at 16 mph cleaning up a 5ft WNW swell (10 seconds, 425 energy). That’s rideable and clean, but the size is edging into intermediate territory.
Friday the 18th is the first real spike: clean cross-off winds (WNW 9 mph) and a solid 7ft NW groundswell with a long 13-second period, energy hitting 1551. That’s a lot of grunt. Friday morning is the pick of the first week – clean, powerful waves, but that 7ft is pushing into expert-only territory for most. A bit of a standout for the experienced crew.
Saturday the 19th drops back to 5-5ft and cleaner winds, but the energy is moderate (443-508). Nothing special.
Sunday the 20th morning has a 5ft WNW swell (10 seconds, 491 energy) with a gentle cross-off breeze – clean and fun-sized for a beginner to intermediate.
The real highlight lands on Monday the 21st. Monday morning: glassy offshore conditions, a 5ft NW groundswell with a long 13-second period, and 632 units of energy. This is the cleanest, most promising window in the whole outlook. The swell direction (WNW) matches the optimum (W), and the glassy surface will make for some beautiful lines. This is for sure the one to circle. Crowds are possible here, so get in early.
The following Sunday the 27th morning also has potential – a 6ft WNW swell (9 seconds, 495 energy) with light 6 mph cross-off breezes from the SSE, producing clean conditions. Good for a solid session.
The very end of the outlook (Tuesday the 29th) shows offshore winds and clean 4-4ft surf, but the wind ramps up to 22 mph that afternoon, making it tricky.
Overall: the best bet is the morning of Monday the 21st – glassy, clean, and a nice size. Friday the 18th morning has the most power but is for experts only. Sunday the 27th morning is a solid backup.
Rusty out.

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.
