The Lowdown
Right then, let's have a look at what's on the table for Locquirec over the next couple of weeks. Straight off the bat, I gotta be honest with you – it's a rough run. The surf's gonna be flat or blown out for the vast majority of this 16-day window, so don't be getting your hopes up for anything decent. We're looking at a real dry spell here.
The first few days, from Saturday the 15th through to Monday the 17th, are a write-off. Tiny little waves, cross-shore winds, and the water's a bit chilly at 66° which is just about bang on for the time of year. You'd be wasting your energy.
We get a bit of a pulse on Thursday the 20th with some waist-high + swell coming in from the WNW. We're talking about 5ft to 6ft of swell, with a clean, cross-offshore breeze. The combined energy jumps up to a moderate 352, then 497, so there's a bit of push there, but the period is a short 9 seconds so it'll be a bit bumpy and crumbly. The wind picks up to a fresh breeze by the afternoon though, so it'll be a bit of a wrestle.
Friday the 21st is pretty similar—5ft to 6ft of WNW swell, but the wind is cross-shore, which kills the quality. It'll be a jumbled, messy affair. You'd be better off staying home.
Then we're straight back into the doldrums. From Saturday the 22nd all the way through to Sunday the 30th, it's a desert. Tiny, weak swell and onshore or cross-shore winds. A couple of mornings, like Thursday the 27th, look glassy, but with a piddly 2ft of swell and no energy, it's just not worth paddling out.
There is one last tiny tease on Sunday the 30th with 2ft of NW swell and a moderate onshore breeze, but with combined energy under 100, it's just not doing anything.
Honestly, lads, the pick of a very, very bad bunch is Thursday the 20th. It's the only day with any real size and the wind is clean. But even then, it's not anything to write home about. The setup here is a beach break, so with the swell being a bit short-period, it's not going to be holding any shape. It's more of a kite-surfing kind of day with that fresh breeze and head-high surf. Don't go expecting any magic.

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.
