The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what’s on the cards for Locquirec over the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you—it’s a bit of a slow starter. The first week is mostly a write-off, with a lot of poor conditions and only a glimmer of hope towards the end. The second week looks a bit more promising, though we’ll have to keep an eye on the wind.

The water is sitting at 66°F right now, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year. That’s a nice little bonus if you’re getting in.

We’re looking at a whole lot of nothing from now until the 20th of August. The swell is small, the wind is mostly onshore or cross-shore, and the wave energy is weak. You might see a few tiny, crumbly waves, but honestly, it’s not worth paddling out for. The best you can hope for is a quick, grovelly session on the 18th morning with a clean 3ft from the WNW, but it’s got no push (66 combined swell energy) and it’s just “surfable but very ordinary.”

The first real standout comes on Friday morning, the 21st of August. We’ve got a clean 5ft swell from the WNW with light cross-offshore winds. The combined energy is a moderate 230, so there’s some decent push behind it. That’s your best bet in the first week—a solid, clean chest to head-high wave that’ll hold up nicely. Just watch out, because the afternoon gets chopped up by a stronger cross-shore.

Now, the second week is where it gets interesting. The real highlight is on Thursday, the 27th of August. The morning is a bit messy with a bigger 6ft swell (446 combined energy) and light cross-onshore wind, but hold on... Thursday afternoon is the one. We’ve got a glassy, clean 5ft from the WNW with next to no wind. The combined energy is a solid 301. That’s proper head-high, lined-up surf with clean faces. If you can get out there that afternoon, you’ll be laughing. It’s a standout.

Other than that, the 28th morning offers a clean but smaller 3ft (159 combined energy) in glassy conditions, good for a fun session on a longer board. But after that, the wind picks up again and the swell drops off. The final few days of the month are a bit of a bust, with building wind and dropping waves.

So to sum it up: if you’re chasing waves, mark your calendar for Friday the 21st morning and Thursday the 27th afternoon. The 27th is the pick of the two—clean, punchy, and decent energy. Just be aware, for a beginner, the 6ft in the morning might feel a bit much, but the afternoon’s 5ft is manageable if you’re up for it.

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.
