The Lowdown
Hey, Rusty here, checking the water for Locquirec. The next couple weeks are mostly flat and messy. Starting today, Monday the 20th, through the whole first week, there’s nothing worth mentioning. Tiny waves, onshore wind, poor quality – you’ll be better off doing something else.
The first real chance comes on Monday the 27th. That morning we’ve got a 4‑ft WNW swell with a 9‑second period – not a long‑period groundswell but enough to push through. The wind is light and cross‑offshore, so the surface should be glassy. Combined energy is 260 (moderate). Water temp is about 64°F, right around average. This is the only session all forecast that gets a decent rating, so if you can sneak out that morning, go for it. The afternoon turns choppy again.
After that, it’s back to small, weak surf with cross‑shore winds. Tuesday the 28th, Wednesday the 29th, all the way through the first week of August – nothing over knee‑high and mostly choppy. Even a glassy morning on Sunday the 2nd of August only offers 1‑ft waves. Not worth the paddle.
So it’s a one‑hit wonder on Monday the 27th, then a long dry spell. That’s the way it goes sometimes. Keep an eye on the charts – forecasts can flip. Rusty out.

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.
