The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break down what’s going on at Locquirec. This spot likes a west swell, and we’re in for a real slow start. From Wednesday, July 29th, all the way through to August 9th, there’s basically nothing. No real surf to speak of. The swell is tiny, the wind is a mess, and the scores are flat. It’s a long dry stretch of about a week and a half.
Then, things start to look up around Monday, August 10th. That morning we get a clean, cross-off breeze from the northwest, with a swell of 5 ft coming out of the WNW at a period of 9 seconds. The energy is moderate (301), and while it’s not a huge swell, the conditions are clean and the waves are surfable. The wind is light, so the surface will be nice. For a beginner-friendly spot, this is about as good as it gets – small, clean, and manageable. Water temp is about average for the time of year.
The next standout is Wednesday, August 12th. The morning brings a 5 ft swell from the west, with a period of 8 seconds. The wind is light and onshore, but the energy is strong (304). This is right on the edge of being too big for beginners. It’s still a bit messy, but there’s push behind it.
The biggest call of the whole window is Thursday, August 13th. That morning we see a 7 ft swell from the WNW, with a period of 9 seconds and a combined energy of 902 – that’s strong wave energy. The wind is cross-onshore from the north, so it’s not perfect, but the size is there. This is for experts only. The swell is solid, and the break will be powerful. If you’re skilled and hungry, that’s your day. For everyone else, it’s a look-and-learn session.
So, overall: it’s a long wait, but the 10th, 12th, and especially the 13th of August are the ones to circle. The 13th is the best on offer, but it’s for the big dogs.

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.
