The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for your local stretch.
Honestly, it’s a bit of a tough stretch ahead. We’re looking at a solid 10-day gap where the surf is just not worth paddling out for. From now through to about the 8th of August, it’s flat or tiny, with onshore winds and poor conditions. The water temp is sitting around 65°F, which is pretty normal for this time of year, so at least a wetsuit is fine.
The only real glimmer of hope, and it’s a long-range one, shows up on Sunday the 9th of August. The morning at Locquirec looks like the pick of a very quiet period. We’ve got a clean 3ft swell from the W with a gentle offshore wind – that’s a major positive for clean faces. The combined swell energy is a modest 225, so it’s not going to be a powerhouse, but it’s surfable. The wind is the key here; it’ll be tidy.
Then on Monday the 10th of August, the swell bumps up a bit. The morning sees a 6ft swell from the WNW with a longer period of 11 seconds, which means better shaped waves and more push. The combined energy jumps to 672, so there’s some proper juice in the water. The wind is clean and cross-offshore, so it’ll be a solid session for the more experienced crew. That’s about as good as it gets in this window.
The rest of the second week stays mixed, with wind and chop making it a battle. The highlight is definitely the Sunday and Monday combo, but remember, it’s a long way off – keep an eye on it.
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.
