Lesconil Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for Lesconil over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, the immediate outlook is a bit of a flat spell. We've got a long stretch of weak, messy waves and that makes for a tough start. The surf stays very small, mostly around 1.6 ft to 2.6 ft, and the combined swell energy is weak, barely cracking 100 for a while. The water temp is sitting at 63.7°F, which is pretty much bang on normal for this time of year, nothing unusual there. You'll be waiting most of the first week for anything that's even surfable, with the odd glimmer of a clean but tiny wave, like on the afternoon of Friday the 11th of July when the swell is 2.6 ft from the WNW with a light cross-offshore breeze – but it's still ordinary.

The real story here is that the end of the forecast period suddenly fires up. It goes from nothing to something punchy. Starting Sunday the 20th of July, we see a proper boost. The Monday morning of the 21st of July brings a 4.6 ft swell from the west, combined energy hitting 225, which is moderate, and the wind is a good cross-offshore from the NNW. It's clean, but this is bigger, so it's moving out of beginner territory. By the afternoon of Monday the 21st, we're looking at 4.6 ft swell from the west again, but combined energy jumps to 277, and we get a fresh offshore from the NW. It's clean and has some push.

But the standout, the one to circle on the calendar, is Sunday the 19th of July. That morning we've got a 6.2 ft swell from the WNW, with a fresh offshore wind from the NNW. The combined energy is a solid 465, which is strong wave energy. This is the biggest, cleanest swell of the whole run, but at 6.2 ft, it's no longer for the groms; this is for the experienced crew. The afternoon holds similar quality with a 5.9 ft swell and the same clean offshore wind, energy still over 400. The period is short, around 7 to 8 seconds, so it's a windswell, but with that kind of size and those offshore conditions, Lesconil's exposed beach and reef setup will have some proper peaks. It won't be perfect for the beach breaks due to the shorter period, but the points and reefs will sort it out. Just be aware that this break can get crowded often, so get your spot early.

So, a long flat first week, then a promising but less certain second week that builds to a solid, clean weekend for the bold surfers. Keep an eye on the forecasts for that Sunday the 19th.
