The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.
First off, I gotta be straight with you. The next couple of weeks at Locquirec are looking pretty grim. We’ve got a long stretch of underwhelming conditions, but there’s a little flicker of hope later on. Hang tight.
The surf kicks off on Tuesday, August 4th, with a small 3ft swell from the west. The wind is offshore, so the waves will be clean, but the energy is weak (76). It’s surfable, but honestly, it’s nothing to write home about. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
Wednesday, August 5th, sees a little more size – 4ft in the morning, building to 5ft in the afternoon – but the wind is cross-offshore and the period is short. It’s messy, and the energy is moderate (214 in the arvo), but the quality just isn’t there. Thursday through to the middle of the month is a write-off. We’re talking small, weak, and choppy. The winds are all over the place – cross, cross-on, onshore. There’s a period of glassy conditions on Wednesday, August 12th, but the swell is a pathetic 1.0ft. That’s a lake, not a surf.
It’s not until the weekend of August 15th and 16th that things start to look interesting. The standout window is actually Saturday, August 15th. We’ve got a solid 5ft swell from the west-northwest, with cross-offshore winds keeping the surface clean. The energy is strong (226-231). That’s the one to target. It’s a bit of a wait, but the conditions look promising. Sunday, August 16th, offers similar 4ft swell but with a shorter period, so Saturday is your best bet.
Monday, August 18th, brings another chance with a 4ft west-northwest swell and clean offshore winds in the morning. It’s a decent option, but the energy is moderate (143) and the wind might get a bit strong later in the day.
So, to wrap it up: the first two weeks are mostly a bust. The best surf on offer is Saturday, August 15th, with 5ft clean waves at Locquirec. It’s the only true standout. Tuesday, August 18th, is a secondary pick for a morning session. Don’t get your hopes up 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.
