The Lowdown
G'day, Rusty here. Fair dinkum, it's a bit of a slow start around Lesconil. The first week is looking pretty grim – mostly small, weak swell and iffy wind. We're not really talking about anything rideable until further out.
Look, for the first few days from Thursday the 30th of July right through to the middle of the following week, it's a real struggle. The swell is tiny – we're talking 1 foot to 3 feet on the better days, but it's coming from the WNW or WSW with a short, weak period, mostly around 7-8 seconds. The combined wave energy is well under 100 (68 at best), so it's just not packing any punch. The wind is mostly a messy cross-offshore or cross-shore, and the forecasts are all scoring these sessions as pretty ordinary. There's a long gap here with no real recommendations.
You have to wait until the morning of Saturday the 8th of August for anything that gets the heart rate up. The swell suddenly jumps to 8 feet from the WSW, with a period of 8 seconds. That's a massive spike in energy – we're talking a combined energy reading of 844, which is very strong. The wind is a clean cross-offshore from the WNW, which would normally have this beach-and-reef setup looking good. But honestly, at 8 feet, this spot is likely going to be too big for most and a real handful. For the absolute experts, under that clean sky with a gentle breeze, it could be a wild ride, but for the average punter, it's a day to watch from the beach. The water temp is around average for the time of year.
After that big pulse, the surf drops away again quickly. Sunday the 9th of August is blown out with fresh cross-onshore winds and lumpy conditions as the swell drops back to 4 feet. From then on, it's back to small, weak swell with less than 100 units of energy for the remainder of the 16-day window. The wind improves at times, turning offshore or even glassy on the 14th, but there's just no swell to work with.
So, the only true standout is that Saturday the 8th of August morning, and only if you're a seasoned charger and you don't mind the size.

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. If you surf the same spot (Lesconil) 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 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.
