The Lowdown
Hey, it’s Rusty. Let’s talk waves around Locquirec for the next couple weeks. Brace yourself – it’s a slow start. From Saturday the 22nd right through Thursday the 27th of August, there’s almost no surf worth paddling out for. That’s a solid six-day gap of flat, crummy conditions. Don’t even bother wetting a suit.
Finally, on Friday the 28th of August, we see a pulse. That morning, a 5ft (1.4m) swell out of the west, with a 10-second period, rolls in. Combined swell energy is moderate at 356. The wind is fresh offshore from the WSW, makin’ it clean and smooth. For a beginner or someone wantin’ a fun, easy session, this is your best shot in the whole forecast.
Saturday the 29th of August pushes it up a notch – 6ft (1.9m) from the WNW, with an energy of 512. That’s getting’ into solid intermediate territory, and the cross-off wind keeps it clean. If you’ve got the skills, this is the bigger, punchier day.
The second week gets messy again. Onshore northeast winds blow for days, churnin’ up the surface. There’s a small relief on Sunday the 30th of August, with a 4ft (1.2m) west swell and an offshore breeze – it’s ordinary but rideable. Monday the 31st of August goes glassy with a 3ft (1.0m) WNW swell, clean and small. Nothin’ special but you’ll get a wave.
Thursday the 3rd of September has some size – 5ft (1.4m) from the WNW, 10-second period, and a strong energy of 417 – but the onshore northeast wind at 20–25 mph blows it out. Frustrating, ‘cause the swell’s there.
The standout is that Friday the 28th of August morning: clean, offshore, 5ft (1.4m) west swell. That’s your call. Saturday the 29th is for the more experienced crew. Water temp is 66°F (19°C), a touch warmer than usual for the season.
So hang tight through the drought, hit Friday the 28th and Saturday the 29th, then it gets patchy again. Stay stoked.
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.
