The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, let's take a look at what's shaping up.
Well, well, well, Lesconil. It's a bit of a slow burner this next fortnight. For the first week or so, we're looking at some very ordinary, marginal surf. Don't get your hopes up too early. The water’s sitting at about 64°, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year, so no need to worry about a thick wetsuit just yet.
The real standout, the one you've been waiting for, is looking like Monday, the 7th of September. The morning session is the absolute pick of the entire forecast. We've got a solid 7ft W swell rolling in with a 12-second period, so there’s proper groundswell energy there. The combined energy is right up there at 1248, which is solid. What makes it special is the offshore wind from the NW blowing at about 12 mph. It'll be clean, lined up, and have some real power. It’s a bit big for the beginners, but for anyone with a bit of experience, that will be pumping. The afternoon, though, gets a bit more cross-off and drops to 6ft – still rideable but not as perfect.
Leading up to that, Friday the 4th and Saturday the 5th are just marginal. There's some small swell around 4ft, but the winds are messy. Saturday morning the swell jumps to 6ft with a very long 13-second period from the WNW. The combined energy is 927 – good wave energy there. That long period makes it best for the reef and points, as it could be a bit straight and fast for the beach setup. That wind is cross-on from the east, so it'll be a bit bumpy. It's more of a kite-surfing setup than a clean paddle day.
After that Monday high, things trail off pretty quick. Tuesday the 8th has a similar scenario: another sizey 7ft WNW swell in the morning with a good offshore, but again it’s flagged as too big for the break for the more moderate surfer – expert territory only.
From the 9th onwards, it's a slow decline into much smaller, weaker surf. The 12th of September has a weird little session with an almost glassy NNE breeze in the afternoon, but the swell is only 3ft, so it'll be a bit of a wait for anything rideable. You'll be scratching around for those small, clean waves.
So, to sum it up: hold tight for Monday the 7th of September morning – that’s your best shot. Get on it. There's a bit of a gap of poor conditions before and after that. The second week is looking pretty flat and uninspiring, so don't plan any big trips.
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.
