Table - best surf conditions forecast for Locquirec over the next 16 days.
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for Locquirec.
Honestly, mate, the next two weeks are looking pretty grim for a proper paddle. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak swell and messy wind. The water’s sitting at 65°, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, but that’s about the only comfort.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn't show up until Monday, July 27th. That morning, we finally see a pulse of swell pushing 4ft from the west, with a nine-second period. The combined energy jumps to 251 (moderate), and with a light breeze from the northwest and the wind state described as clean, the conditions will be a lot better than anything we’ve seen. The break faces west and is exposed, so it’ll be picking up that energy. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, fairly consistent, so it’s a good option for a mixed-level crew, but keep in mind it can get crowded sometimes. The afternoon on the 27th sees the swell bump up to 6ft with a nine-second period, and the energy spikes to 506 (strong). That’s a bit punchy for the beginners, but for the experienced guys, it’s the best looking window in the whole forecast. The wind goes a bit cross-shore, so it won’t be glassy, but it’s still rideable.
Before that, it’s a write-off. The swell is tiny, wind is mostly cross-onshore or onshore, and the energy is weak – often below 30 (weak). There are a few glimpses of clean conditions on the 15th, 16th, and 20th with cross-offshore winds, but the swell is just too small to bother with. On the 25th, we get a glassy morning with a small 1ft swell, but it’s hardly worth dragging the board out for.
So, to sum it up: the whole first two weeks are a bust. The only standout is Monday, July 27th, with the morning being the best balance of size and clean conditions for the break. If you’re an expert, the afternoon session could be a goer, but watch the cross-shore chop.
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.
