Locquirec Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here with the long-range look for Locquirec. Gotta be straight with you – this isn't a classic stretch by any means. There's a bit of action to kick things off, but then we hit a long, flat spell that'll test your patience. The good news is there's one morning that looks like a proper treat if you time it right.

Period: Now through mid-next week

Your best bet, and really the standout of the whole 16-day window, is this coming Sunday morning, the 13th of September. We've got a solid 5ft swell pulsing in from the WNW with a groundswell period of 11 seconds. The forecast is clean with a gentle offshore breeze, and the energy reading is a solid moderate 452. It’s a beginner-friendly break, so it won’t be too heavy, but for the size it'll be fun, clean, and lined up. Crowds are possible here, so get in early.

That afternoon the wind shifts cross-offshore and the waves drop a touch to 4ft. Still okay, but Sunday morning is the session to aim for.

Monday the 14th morning sees the swell drop to 3ft, but the wind goes glassy. It’ll be tiny and clean – almost a flat day, but a fun longboard wave if you're desperate for a glide.

From Monday afternoon all the way through to Thursday the 17th we're dealing with messy conditions. The wind starts swinging cross and cross-on, kicking up chop with every pulse of swell. Even though the energy pops up to 493 on Wednesday morning with 6ft of swell, the onshore wind will make it messy and blown-out. Not worth paddling out.

Friday the 18th is a bit of a tease. The swell is 5-6ft with moderate energy (766-932) and a clean look, but with that long 13-second period on the afternoon pulse and cross-off wind, it might break a bit straight at the beach. It's an option if you're desperate, but not the cleanest.

Saturday the 19th has some fresh offshore wind on the morning session with 5ft swell, but that short period (8 seconds) and the wind strength will make it bumpy. It's a pass.

The Long-Range

Then comes the big gap. After that, the 20th of September sees a powerful 6ft WNW groundswell with a very long 14-second period and a massive energy reading of 1170. But the wind is cross-onshore, so it’ll be lumpy and difficult to enjoy. This is more of a setup for a strong paddle or a kite session than a classic surfing day. By Monday the 21st the wind goes straight onshore, killing any chance of quality.

From Tuesday the 22nd onward the swell drops hard. Tuesday morning is nearly flat at 3ft with glassy conditions, but the energy is only 235. That’s it. After that, from Wednesday the 23rd September all the way through to the end of the period on the 28th, the combined swell energy drops into double digits and below. The height barely reaches a foot and a half. This area just goes completely quiet. A solid 6-7 day run of nothing but flat, small, or blown-out junk.

So, to sum it up: the best session by a long shot is Sunday morning the 13th. Don't sleep on it because the window after that pretty much shuts tight for a long time. Stay patient, boys.

Rusty.
