Lesconil Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the menu for the coming days at Lesconil.

We've got a mixed bag of an outlook, with some real promise tucked in the middle and a few windows that look like they could be *real* special. The water is sitting at 66°, which is about 2° warmer than usual for this time of year, so it's a touch more comfortable than you might expect.

The first real window of opportunity hits us on Tuesday afternoon, the 8th of September. The morning is a write-off with a strong, cross-shore 28 mph wind ruining a 8ft swell. But by the afternoon, the wind swings offshore from the NW at 22 mph and the sea cleans right up. The swell drops a touch to 8ft, and with a 9-second period, it's got some punch. The combined energy is a solid 1435, which is a lot of power. Now, that 8ft is on the bigger side, so it's not for the faint of heart, but for anyone with a bit of experience, this is looking like the standout session of the early period. The swell direction is a perfect W, matching the optimum for this spot.

Wednesday morning, the 9th, is a nice follow-up. The swell drops to 4ft from the WNW, with a light 9 mph cross-offshore breeze. It's clean, it's manageable, and the energy is still a moderate 373. This is a great option for a wider range of surfers, especially beginners who found Tuesday a bit intimidating.

We hit a bit of a lull from Thursday the 10th through Saturday morning the 12th, with small, weak, and often onshore conditions. Nothing to get excited about there.

Then, Saturday afternoon picks up again. The wind goes clean offshore from the WNW at 16 mph, the swell is a waist-to-chest high 4ft from the WNW, and the energy is back up to 559. It's a very good, clean, cruisy afternoon session.

Sunday the 13th is another day to circle. The morning is glassy clean with a light cross-offshore breeze. The swell is 4ft from the WNW, but the period jumps to 13 seconds, meaning it's a proper groundswell with long, clean lines. The energy is 505. This will be a real treat for the point and reef sections, but the long period might make it a bit walled-off at the beachie. The afternoon stays clean with a 5ft swell, but it's a bit smaller period.

Then, we have a bit of a gap until the 17th of September. The morning of the 17th brings a massive pulse of 8ft swell from the WNW with a combined energy of 1634. That's a serious amount of water moving. The wind is a light cross-offshore, so it will be clean, but this is a big one. At 8ft, it's pushing into expert-only territory. The afternoon of the 17th drops to a much more manageable 6ft, still clean and offshore, a solid choice for strong intermediates.

The last week of the outlook is rough. Winds are mostly onshore or cross-on, and the swell is inconsistent and weak for the most part, with a few periods of small, clean surf that just doesn't have the energy. The big exception is the 21st of September. The afternoon brings a massive, long-period 16-second swell from the W at 7ft. The energy is a whopping 2271, and the wind is a strong 28 mph offshore. It will be clean, but that wind and that size will make it a battle to get out and a serious handful once you're in. That's for the hardcore crew only.

So, to sum it up: the best bets are Tuesday afternoon the 8th for the big, clean groundswell, and Sunday morning the 13th for the long-period, glassy conditions. The 17th also has some serious size if you're brave enough.

Rusty.
