The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's see what the next couple of weeks are looking like for us.
To be straight with you, this forecast starts off slow. The first real chance of anything half decent doesn't roll in until Thursday morning, so we've got a quiet start to the week. There are a few clean windows here and there, but the consistency just isn't there for most of the run. Don't get too excited about the long-range stuff either; there's a pulse showing up around the 21st and 22nd, but it comes with some strong cross-off winds that might mess with the shape.
The one day that stands out from the crowd is Thursday, the 13th of August. There's a small window on the Thursday morning at Lesconil that could be worth a paddle. You're looking at a 3ft swell from the west with a period of 10 seconds. Now, that's not going to scare anyone, but it does have a moderate energy level (262) and the wind is light offshore from the northwest. That's going to clean the place right up. It's a beach and reef set-up that is very consistent and exposed to the west-northwest, which lines up well. Beginners should be fine, but keep an eye on the tide as it can get a bit weird. Later that morning, the wind picks up to 19 mph from the same direction, which will start to ruffle the surface. So that Thursday morning is your best, most reliable call in the near term.
Later in the month, on the 21st of August (Friday) , a new swell fills in, bumping up to 6ft from the west-northwest but it's got a light onshore wind and a marginal surf forecast. By the 22nd (Saturday), the swell is up to 6ft from the same direction, but the winds are howling cross-off from the west-northwest at 16-19 mph. That's a powerful swell with a strong energy reading (687), but those winds are going to be a challenge. For the experienced surfer it could have some punch, but the shape is likely going to be more of a battle than a cruise. It's something to watch, but don't plan your week around it just yet.
So, all in all, there's not a lot of gold in this forecast. The Thursday morning is your best bet: clean, small, but surfable. After that, it's a mix of small, weak swells or strong winds spoiling the bigger ones. Keep your expectations low and your eyes peeled for a change.
Rusty.

Information about the Lesconil Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Lesconil provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Lesconil can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Lesconil 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.

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 Lesconil 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.
