Alright, my fellow wave riders, strap in for a rough couple of weeks. We got almost no surf on the horizon. There’s an 11-day stretch of flat, washed-out conditions before we see a single pulse.
Right from today, the 3rd of July, clear through to the 13th of July, there’s nothing. The swell is tiny, the wind is junk, and all the calls are saying "poor surf conditions." The energy is weak, barely cracking triple digits. It’s a total bust.
The only chance for a wave in this whole 16-day outlook is Pic Kipu (reef). We’re talking about the morning of Tuesday, the 14th of July. That’s your day. The wind goes glassy overnight, which is about as clean as it gets. The swell bumps up to a waist-high 3ft, but the real story is the 12-second period. That’s proper groundswell energy, hitting a moderate 265 (combined energy). It’s gonna wrap that reef real nice. The direction is straight W, not its absolute best (WSW is ideal), but still very workable.
Now, a word of caution. Pic Kipu is "inconsistent" and it’s "often" crowded. On a Tuesday with this forecast, it will still be the only spot that’s working, so expect a lineup. The water temp might be a little weird for the season, but no word on that. Just know that for one morning, there will be clean, rideable waves.
After that, the wind shifts back onshore that afternoon of the 14th, and it’s back to tiny, weak surf for the rest of the forecast. The 18th of July looks clean, but the swell is only 2ft at best.
So, if you’re chasing it, be at Pic Kipu at sunrise on Tuesday, the 14th of July. Otherwise, don’t bother waxing up.
Rusty.

Information about the Pic Kipu Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Pic Kipu provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Pic Kipu can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Pic Kipu 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 (Pic Kipu) 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 Pic Kipu 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.
Pic Kipu is 4 km (2 miles) from Lorient. If you plan a holiday in Morbihan - Brittany, look for hotels and other accommodation in Lorient. Lorient has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
