The Lowdown
Right, let’s have a look at what’s happening for Locquirec. Gotta be straight with you – this is a tough run. There’s nothing rideable at all for over a week. The whole first week through to the morning of Saturday the 25th of July is all poor surf conditions, tiny little waves or onshores messing things up. That’s a solid stretch of flat and grotty.
The first sign of anything with a bit of life shows up on Sunday morning the 26th of July. The swell finally bumps up a notch, with a WNW swell at 4 ft, but the period is a short 7 seconds so it’s a bit weak. Combined energy is moderate at 149. Wind is cross-offshore from the west at 9 mph, which is clean. Conditions are described as surfable but very ordinary. It’s a small window for a beginner-friendly wave, but nothing to get excited about.
Monday the 27th of July is similar – WNW swell at 4 ft, 8-second period, combined energy 157. Again cross-offshore wind, clean, but the quality is still pretty ordinary. You’d get a few soft ones, but nothing that’ll make you sprint for the car.
Then Tuesday the 28th of July, we finally get some proper offshore wind – SW at 12–16 mph, blowing straight off the land. Swell stays small at 2 ft from the WNW, period 9 seconds, energy moderate at 67–70. It’s clean, the waves will be a little more lined up than what we’ve seen. For a beginner-friendly spot, this is actually the best of a bad bunch. The optimum swell direction from the guidance is west, and we’re close enough with a west-northwest offering, so it’s starting to match up.
After that, it fades off again.
The standout here is Tuesday morning the 28th of July. Swell is small, only 2 ft, but the offshore wind will make it clean, and the water temp is about 64° with only a small anomaly – normal for the time of year. Crowds can be “sometimes” here at Locquirec, so you might get a few others out, but nothing crazy. It’s a consistent enough break when there’s swell. Don’t get your hopes up for big waves, but for a smooth, cruisy session, that Tuesday morning is your only real call.
Stay patient – won’t stay poor forever.

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.
