The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s going on.
The first week and a half is a real bummer. From Tuesday the 14th all the way through Friday the 24th, it’s a long, flat stretch with nothing worth getting wet for. The swell energy is in the weak range – numbers like 38, 52, 36 – and the winds are mostly crap, coming from the wrong directions or blowing too hard.
There are a few clean moments, like Saturday the 18th morning with light offshore winds from the east making it glassy, and Sunday the 19th morning with a clean cross-offshore breeze. But the swell is tiny, just 0.3m to 0.5m. It’s barely a ripple.
The only light at the end of the tunnel arrives on Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th. That’s our best bet. A proper groundswell from the WNW rolls in with periods of 12 to 11 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 493 then 604, and we see wave heights of 1.2m to 1.7m. That’s fun-sized for a lot of folks. The downside? The wind is a cross-onshore, so it’s going to be a bit lumpy and choppy. Not a classic day, but the only real swell of the window.
Monday the 27th gets bigger – 2.0m to 2.2m – but the wind from the SSW and SW is onshore and messy. That’s expert territory and the quality is going to suffer. Tuesday and Wednesday the 28th and 29th keep that size with more cross-onshore wind. Plenty of power, but not much beauty.
If you’re itching for a paddle, circle Saturday the 25th and Sunday the 26th. It’s the only real show in town. The rest? Just a whole lot of waiting.

Information about the Tronoen Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Tronoen provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Tronoen can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Tronoen 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 (Tronoen) 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 Tronoen 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.
Tronoen is 13 km (8 miles) from the city of Loctudy. If you plan a holiday in Finistere - Brittany, look for hotels and other accommodation in Loctudy. Loctudy has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
