The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – the forecast is looking pretty grim for a while. There’s a real dry spell coming up. We’re looking at a gap of about 10 days where there’s basically nothing worth paddling out for. The first chance we get is on Monday, 27th July, but even then it’s only marginal. The swell is hanging around 5ft to 5ft from the WNW, but the wind is cross-shore and the wave energy is moderate at best (362). It’s not a total write-off, but it’s not something you’d set your alarm for.
The rest of the week and into the first week of August is a real struggle. Swell drops right off, we’re talking 1ft to 3ft, and the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, making for choppy, messy conditions. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing wild there.
Now, if you’re patient, there is a glimmer of hope. Towards the end of the forecast, on Sunday, 9th August, things start to wake up. The swell picks up to 6ft from the WNW with a period of 10 seconds, and the combined energy jumps right up to 553 – that’s a solid moderate pulse. The wind is cross-shore, so it’ll be a bit lumpy, but there’s some real push in the water. The best bet looks like Monday, 10th August. The swell is up to 6ft from the NW, with a period of 9 seconds, and the energy is pumping at 572. The wind is a gentle cross-onshore, so it’ll be a bit bumpy, but for the more experienced crew, that’s some proper size. At 6ft, it’s getting into the serious stuff, so leave the foamies at home.
So, the standout window is Sunday, 9th August and Monday, 10th August. If you’re an experienced surfer, the 10th is the one to circle. The swell is there, the energy is there, it’s just a matter of the wind tidying up a bit. For the rest of the run, it’s a waiting game. Keep an eye on the forecasts, because it tends not to stay this quiet for long.
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.
