The Lowdown
Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s talk about Locquirec.
The next couple of weeks look pretty average, to be honest. We’ve got some swell on the cards, but the winds are going to mess things up for most of it. The water’s sitting at about 65°, which is a touch warmer than we’d normally expect for this time of year – not a bad thing, but worth noting.
We kick things off on Monday, September 7th, with a 5ft to 5ft W-NW swell and clean conditions, but the cross-off wind is just making it feel messy. It’s surfable, but it’s not going to set the world on fire. The combined energy is moderate (801 to 816).
Tuesday the 8th gets ugly. A strong SW wind in the morning, and by the afternoon it’s a fresh cross-shore with a 8ft WNW swell, but the period is a short 8 seconds. That’s just lumpy, choppy, and poor. Wednesday and Thursday are more of the same – light winds but onshore or cross, and the swell drops away.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Friday the 11th, morning session is your standout. We’ve got a gentle offshore breeze, a 5ft WNW swell, and a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (268), and the wave comment says “good”. It’s not huge, but it’ll be clean and fun for a beginner to intermediate surfer.
If you miss that, Saturday the 12th morning is also okay – a 3ft WNW swell, light cross-off wind, and clean. Not a standout, but a solid option.
The second week (from Sunday the 13th onward) is pretty grim. Winds shift mostly onshore or cross-onshore, the swell gets inconsistent, and a lot of the time the wave quality is rated as poor. There’s a stretch of several days where you’re better off not even looking at the ocean. The combined energy stays moderate at best, but the wind just kills it. On Sunday the 20th morning, we get a 5ft WNW swell with light wind, but it’s still cross-onshore – marginal at best.
Bottom line: the best bet in this 16-day window is Friday morning, September 11th at Locquirec. It’s not epic, but it’s the cleanest, most surfable window we’ve got. After that, it’s a lot of waiting for the wind to play nice.
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.
