The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for Lesconil.
First thing to say is, we’ve got a real slow start. The opening days are pretty flat and the wind is all over the place. The water temp is about what you’d expect for this time of year, nothing crazy there. The real story is that we have to wait until the 19th of August for anything that’s actually worth paddling out for.
The morning of the 19th is the first real standout. Lesconil (a beach and reef setup, very consistent, exposed to swell from the west-southwest) will see a clean 3ft wave from the west-northwest with a nice long period of 12 seconds, which is a proper groundswell. The wind is offshore from the north-northwest at 12 mph, so it’ll be clean. The combined energy is moderate (267). That’s your best bet in the first week. The 20th morning is also decent, with a similar 4ft swell and offshore winds, though the period drops to 9 seconds.
After that, it gets a bit ordinary again until the 25th of August. That Tuesday morning, we get a 3ft swell from the west with a 10-second period and a gentle offshore breeze. The combined energy is moderate (219). The real standout of the whole outlook, though, is the morning of the 26th of August. That Wednesday, the wind goes completely glassy from the west-southwest, and we’ve got a 5ft groundswell from the west with an 11-second period. The combined energy is solid (451). That’s the one to circle on the calendar for clean, lined-up waves.
There is a big spike in size on the 29th and 30th, with a 15ft and 10ft swell hitting, but that’s way too big for Lesconil. The combined energy is massive (4532 and 1494), but it’s a beach and reef setup, and that’s a recipe for a washing machine. Leave that for the big-wave chargers with a death wish, or just go kiting.
So, to sum it up: the 19th morning, the 20th morning, and the 25th morning are all good, but the 26th morning is the absolute pick of the run. Get on it.

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.
