Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks. To be straight with you, it's a slow start and a long wait, but there's a tiny glimmer of hope right at the tail end.
We’re looking at a real flat spell kicking things off. From Tuesday the 7th right through until the afternoon of Tuesday the 21st, it’s pretty much a write-off. The combined swell energy is mostly weak, often under 100, and the wave comment is "poor surf conditions" across the board. You can see the energy dip right down to single digits for a stretch there. The wind is often cross-on or onshore, making a mess of things. There's just no swell to work with.
Now, after that long dry spell, we finally get a hint of something. On Wednesday the 22nd of July, things get interesting. In the morning, we’ve got a light offshore breeze from the SW cleaning things up, but the swell is still tiny at 1.3ft. The real potential comes in the afternoon.
Wednesday afternoon, the 22nd of July, is the standout. At Locquirec, we’re looking at a clean 2.3ft swell from the west, with a gentle offshore wind from the WSW. That’s the only time in the whole forecast where the report says "surfable waves." The period is 9 seconds, so it’s a short-period wind swell, but the offshore wind is gold – it’ll keep the surface like glass. The combined swell energy is 89, which is not much, but for a spot that’s been flat for two weeks, it’s the only game in town. This is a beginner-friendly break and *fairly consistent* when there’s swell, but expect it to be crowded – the report says crowds are *sometimes* an issue. The water temp is 63.1°, which is about 1.8° warmer than average for this time of year, so it’s a touch on the mild side.
Honestly, outside of that Wednesday afternoon window, don't bother paddling out. The rest of the two weeks is a total dud. For a spot like Locquirec that’s *fairly consistent*, a run this long without surf is a bit of a bum steer, but the forecasts can change.
Stay tuned, and don't hang up your wetsuit just yet.

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.
