The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here, checking in on the surf at Locquirec. We've got a 16-day window ahead, and I gotta be straight with you—it's a bit of a grind for most of it. The first good window doesn't show up until Saturday, the 1st of August, so there's a long stretch of flat or messy conditions before that. After that, things get interesting but stay a bit on the tricky side.
Right now, the water temperature is sitting at 65°, which is about 1° warmer than usual for this time of year. Not a major shift, but you'll feel it's a touch mild.
The first real chance of a decent wave comes on Saturday morning, the 1st of August at Locquirec. We've got a clean 3ft swell from the WNW, with a period of 8 seconds, and the wind is a moderate offshore from the WSW. The combined energy hits 237 (moderate). It's not huge, but it's clean and surfable, with the wind keeping the faces tidy. The break is fairly consistent, exposed to the swell, and the optimum swell direction is from the W which matches up nicely. The downside is crowds are sometimes an issue, so get there early if you want a quiet session.
The next standout—and this is the one to circle on your calendar—is Wednesday morning, the 5th of August. The swell pushes up to 6ft from the W, with a 9-second period. The wind is offshore from the SSW, blowing at 16 mph, giving us moderate offshore and clean conditions. Combined energy is a solid 495 (strong). That's a real step up in power. Keep in mind, 6ft is getting into the territory where it's too much for beginners, but for the rest of you, it's a proper session. The swell direction matches the optimum W, and the break is fairly consistent. It's a bit of a wait, but this one has promise.
Unfortunately, the rest of the window is mostly a write-off. There are a few mornings on the 27th and 29th of July and the 7th of August where the conditions are "surfable but very ordinary," but with small swell, poor winds, or cross-chop, it's not worth paddling out for. The Thursday afternoon, 6th of August, has 4ft of swell, but the cross-onshore winds ruin it.
Overall, the best bet is the 5th of August. It's the biggest, cleanest, and most powerful wave of the whole period. The morning of the 1st is a decent warm-up, but that Wednesday morning is the real standout. Keep an eye on the forecast, but as it stands, that's your window.
Rusty.

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.
