The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s size up what’s on the table for Lesconil over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, it’s a bit of a slow burn. The first week is pretty grim with hardly any surf worth paddling out for. The swell is tiny and the wind is all over the place. You’re looking at a long, flat stretch from Friday the 24th through to Saturday the 26th, with nothing but poor surf conditions and scraps.
Things finally start to show a pulse late on Sunday the 26th. The wind turns offshore and clean, and we get a bump to 5ft from the WNW, but the period is a short 7 seconds and the combined energy is only moderate (256). It’s marginal, but at least we’re seeing something. The real bright spot is Monday morning the 27th. That’s your first true standout. The swell hangs around 4ft from the WNW with a period of 9 seconds, and the wind goes glassy – dead calm, 3 mph. That’s the kind of morning you set the alarm for. The combined energy builds to 280 (moderate), and the forecast is for good surf conditions. Lesconil is a beach and reef setup, very consistent, exposed to the swell, and the direction is a solid match from the WSW. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, so that 4ft is perfect. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing to write home about.
After that, it gets messy through the middle of the week with onshore winds and falling swell. Then we jump ahead to the weekend. Saturday the 1st of August has some stronger energy coming in – 5ft from the W, but period is a bit short and the wind is cross-shore, making it only marginal. But then Sunday the 2nd of August is your second standout. That morning we’ve got 7ft from the W with a 10-second period, combined energy of 832 (strong), and light offshore/cross-off wind. The afternoon stays clean at 6ft from the WNW. This is a bigger swell – over 5ft – so it might be a bit much for absolute beginners, but for the rest of you, it’s very good. Just keep in mind, with a 10-second period, the sets have some punch.
The rest of the second week drops off sharply again, with small swell and clean but weak conditions. There’s a brief flicker on Saturday the 8th of August with 5ft from the W, but the period is a short 7 seconds and the wind is fresh, so it’s marginal at best. The long-range stuff is promising but less certain.
Crowds at Lesconil are often a factor, so get out there early on Monday the 27th and Sunday the 2nd if you want a clean peak to yourself.
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.
