Leca Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what the next couple of weeks are shaping up like for Leca.

Honestly, it’s a tough outlook. The waves are tiny and the conditions are messy for the vast majority of the forecast. We’re looking at a long, drawn-out period of poor surf, with only a couple of brief windows where it might be worth paddling out. The first real chance of anything doesn't even show up until the morning of Saturday the 25th of July.

For most of the first week, from Tuesday the 21st through to Friday the 24th, it’s flat and ugly. We’re talking knee-high slop with weak, short-period windswell and onshore or cross-onshore winds. The combined energy is barely registering, with values like 33 (weak energy) and 29 (weak energy). Not worth getting changed for.

The standout, if you can call it that, is the morning of Saturday the 25th of July. The wind goes glassy, dead calm, and the swell bumps up to 3 ft from the west with a 7-second period. The combined energy climbs to 96 (weak energy), which is still not great, but the glassy conditions will make it look better than it is. It’s a very small, clean wave for beginners. But don’t get too excited—the afternoon goes straight back to messy with a strong cross-onshore wind.

Sunday the 26th of July morning is a write-off with a cross-shore wind, and the afternoon is a blowout. Monday the 27th of July morning is another glassy window, but the swell drops to 2 ft from the northwest. The combined energy is 97 (weak energy). It’s surfable, but it’s a weak, small wave. The afternoon gets chopped up again.

The rest of the second week, from Tuesday the 28th of July onwards, is a long stretch of very small, poor surf. The swell heights hover around 1 ft to 3 ft, and the winds are generally cross-on or onshore. The combined energy stays low, mostly in the 30s, 40s, and 50s (weak energy). There’s nothing to recommend here. The morning of Saturday the 1st of August might have a tiny 3 ft swell, but it’s cross-on and short period, making it a lumpy mess.

So, the only real highlight is the glassy morning of Saturday the 25th. It’s your best bet for a clean, small wave. Everything else is a long, flat, and windy stretch. It’s one of those runs where the forecasts need to change for it to get any better.

Rusty.
