Table - best surf conditions forecast for Lesconil over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Lesconil's got cooking for us over the next couple of weeks. I'll be honest, it's a bit of a slow burner, but there might be a wild finish if you're brave enough.
Right now, and for the next few days, it's pretty flat and messy. We've got a tiny bit of swell in the water, but the conditions are just poor. For the first week, you're really looking at small, weak waves. The best of a bad lot comes on Friday morning, July 17th, with a 3ft SW swell, but the wind is cross-offshore and the energy is weak (83). It's surfable, but nothing to write home about. The water temp is about average for the time of year.
We hit a real dead zone on Saturday, July 18th. The afternoon shows zero energy, a complete flat spell. Then Sunday afternoon, July 19th, things start to get interesting. The swell jumps to 5ft from the NW with a moderate energy reading of 203, and the wind goes light and cross-offshore, making for clean conditions. That's the first real window, but it's still not a standout.
The real story is at the very end of the forecast. Hold on for Sunday, July 26th. That morning, Lesconil sees a 7ft WSW swell with a massive 557 energy reading. The wind is offshore from the WNW, so it'll be clean. But mate, that's a lot of water. At over 7ft, we're talking expert-only territory. It's predicted to be too big for this break, so only the hellmen should even think about it. The following Monday, July 27th, is even bigger, with a 8ft W swell and an energy reading of 1134. Again, it's clean, but it's a beast.
So, the honest truth: there's nothing here that I'd call a true standout for the average surfer. The first week is mostly a bust. The second week builds to a peak that's just too powerful for Lesconil's setup. If you're a beginner, stay away from the end of the month. If you're a seasoned charger, the 26th and 27th of July could be your game, but know the risks. For everyone else, keep an eye on the forecast, because this area can 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. 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.
