The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for us over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, the first week or so is a real struggle. We’re looking at a long stretch of poor conditions with almost no surf worth paddling for. The first few days are flat and messy, and it’s not until the 28th of August that we start to see any real energy in the water. Even then, it’s a slow build.
The standout window for the whole period looks to be Saturday the 29th of August into Sunday the 30th. Saturday afternoon sees a solid 7ft swell from the WNW, with a moderate energy reading (512) that’s got some grunt behind it. The period is short at 8 seconds, so it’ll be a bit lumpy and won’t have that long-period punch, but the wind is cross-offshore and clean. This is a good one for experienced surfers on a beach break setup; it’s gonna be too big and messy for beginners. There’s a chance of crowds at Locquirec, as it’s sometimes busy.
The real gem might be Sunday the 30th morning. Swell drops to a cleaner 4ft from the WNW, but the wind swings offshore from the SW at only 9 mph. That’s gentle offshore and clean, which is a major positive. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting around 66°F.
After that, the energy fades quickly. There’s a brief window on Monday the 31st afternoon with 6ft swell and clean cross-offshore wind, but again, that’s for the more experienced crew. By Tuesday the 1st of September, it’s dropping fast, and the second week looks pretty ordinary. We get a few small pulses, but nothing to get excited about until Sunday the 6th of September. That afternoon shows a 4ft WNW swell, light cross-offshore wind, and a combined energy of 212—actually decent. It’s the best of the second week, but we’re far out, so keep an eye on it.
To be honest, if you’re a beginner, the first proper chance you’ll have is around the 30th of August morning, but even then it’s chest-high and a bit punchy. The long flat spells are normal for this area, so don’t be surprised if the forecasts change.
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.
