The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here again. I’ve been staring at the charts for Locquirec, and the next two weeks are a tough sell for any surf worth paddling for.
We get one half-decent morning. That’s Tuesday, August 4th. The swell is running about 3 feet out of the west with a period of 8 seconds, and the wind is off the southwest at 12 mph, keeping the surface glassy. The combined energy is a low 82 (combined energy of all swells directed here), so it’s small and weak, but for a beginner it’s manageable. All other days in that first week are a mess of cross-shore winds, short period swell, or just plain flat.
After that, the second week is virtually a dead zone. From Friday, August 7th through to Sunday, August 16th, the swell rarely tops 2 feet, and the combined energy spends most of its time under 30 (combined energy of all swells directed here). That’s a blank run of about nine days where you’re better off with a coffee than a surfboard.
Water temp is running about 65°F, which is normal for the season, so that’s fine.
If you’re desperate, stick to the Tuesday morning session—clean, small, and forgiving—but don’t hold your breath for anything else.
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.
