The Lowdown
Alright folks, let’s talk about Lesconil. This spot is a beach and reef mix, wide open to the Atlantic. Water temp’s around 65°, which is pretty standard for this time of year.
Right now, it’s a bit of a washout. Sunday’s looking sloppy with a 5 ft swell from the southwest but a messy cross-shore wind. Not really worth the effort.
Then Monday, August 31st, things get big. We’re talking an 8 ft swell from the west, 10-second period, with clean offshore northwest wind. The energy’s pumping hard. But at that size, Lesconil is going to be too much for beginners and a serious challenge for the rest. Expert-only, no doubt.
Tuesday, September 1st, is the real sweet spot. The swell drops to a clean 4 ft from the west, 9-second period, and the wind goes glassy in the morning. The energy is light, but the conditions are absolute perfection. This is the best session of the first week: clean, fun, uncrowded, and good for everyone.
The rest of the week stays small and clean but nothing special. Thursday and Friday have some 4 ft waves but with marginal conditions.
Friday, September 4th, is another one for the experienced crew. Swell bumps up to 7 ft from the west-northwest, with a long 12-second period and consistent offshore wind. Energy is strong, and the waves will have real power. Great shape, but it’s not a day for the faint-hearted.
The second week is mostly small, weak, and onshore, with one exception: Saturday, September 12th, has a glassy 3 ft swell with an 11-second period in the afternoon – a perfect little window for a longboard.
So, for the best all-round session, hit Tuesday, September 1st. For the adrenaline junkies, Monday the 31st and Friday the 4th are the big, clean, and powerful ones. Stay safe out there.

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.
