The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee, because the next couple of weeks around Locquirec are going to be a tough watch for we surfers. Honestly, for the first ten days or so, it's pretty much a total write-off. The swell is tiny, the wind is messy, and I'm not seeing anything that would get me out of bed early.
The water temp is sitting around 66°F, which is pretty average for this time of year, so at least the water won't be the thing that puts you off. But honestly, from Tuesday the 11th right through until the end of that week and into the next, it's just blown-out scraps or glassy but flat. There's a brief glimmer on the Wednesday morning of the 12th, with glassy conditions and a tiny 2ft swell from the west, but it's so weak you'd be fighting for a ripple. Not worth it.
We then hit a long, boring gap with nothing to recommend until we get towards the end of the 16-day window. The first sign of life comes on Friday the 21st of August. The morning is still rubbish, but by Friday afternoon, the swell starts to build, hitting 6ft from the west-northwest at 8 seconds. The wind is light but cross-onshore, so it'll be a bit lumpy, but at least there's some energy there.
Now, the real standout for the whole forecast is Saturday the 22nd of August. This is the one I’d circle on the calendar. We’ve got a solid 7ft swell rolling in from the west-northwest with a period of 9 seconds. The combined swell energy is a solid 749 (moderate wave energy). The kicker is the cross-offshore wind from the west, which is going to groom the waves and keep them clean. For Locquirec, this is the pick of the bunch. Just a heads up, at 7ft, that’s getting into expert territory for a beach setup, so if you're not confident, maybe sit this one out on the sand. The afternoon drops a bit to 6ft but the wind picks up to 19 mph, so go for the morning session if you can.
After that, the swell fades quickly into Sunday the 23rd. There’s still some decent sized swell but the wind is howling from the west at 16-19 mph, making for a messy, blown-out afternoon. By Monday it’s back to small stuff again.
So, to sum it up: the first week and a half is a total dud. The one and only real chance for some decent, clean waves is the morning of Saturday the 22nd of August. It’s a big swell for the area, but with that cross-offshore wind, it could be firing. For the rest... maybe go for a long walk on the beach.

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.
