The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the table for the next couple of weeks. Straight up – I'm calling it like I see it: there's nothing worth paddling out for in the entire 16-day window. Not a single session that gets the nod. Locquirec is normally a pretty consistent little spot, especially for beginners, and it gets a decent wrap when the swell and wind line up. But this time around it's a total dud.
The whole run from July 19th right through to August 3rd is filled with poor surf conditions. The swell is tiny – mostly 0.7ft to 1.0ft – and the wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore, messing up any chance of a clean wave. There's a brief flicker of hope on Sunday 26th July afternoon with a bit of a bump to 4ft and clean conditions, but the period is short (6 seconds) and the combined energy is only 114 – weak. Then Monday 27th and Tuesday 28th see a bigger push: 5ft to 6ft from the WNW, with moderate energy (316 to 421), but the wind is cross or cross-onshore, making it choppy. That size is also too big for beginners, and with the wind messing it up, it's no good for anyone. After that, it drops back down to nothing.
Water temp is sitting at 64°F, which is about average for the time of year – nothing unusual there. The spot itself is exposed to the west, and we'd ideally want some clean W or NW swell with offshore winds, but we just aren't getting that combo. Crowds can be an issue here sometimes, but honestly, with this forecast, the beach will be empty.
Look, it's a shame because Locquirec can be a fun little wave. But this stretch is a blank run. The good news is that forecasts can change, and it's not normal for this area to stay this poor for long. So keep your eye on the charts, but for now, save your energy. There's nothing to chase.
Rusty out.

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.
