The Lowdown

Alright mate, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Lesconil over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, we’ve got a bit of a mixed bag. The water temperature is sitting at about 65°, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year, so no worries there. The main story is that we’ve got some solid swell on the way, but it’s going to be a bit of a wait for the really clean, lined-up waves.

The first real standout is Monday, 31 August. The morning session is looking at a solid 8ft swell from the west, with a period of 10 seconds and moderate offshore wind from the northwest. The combined energy is strong at 1085, so there’s plenty of push. That said, this is a bit on the bigger side for beginners, but for the experienced crew, it’s going to be pumping. The afternoon cleans up even more with offshore wind from the west-northwest, and the swell drops to a still-chunky 7ft. This is your best bet for the whole forecast – the wind is offshore, the waves are solid, and the break is handling it well. A real standout.

Now, before that, we’ve got a bit of a rough patch. Saturday the 29th picks up some big, raw swell – 8ft to 10ft from the west-southwest, but with strong cross-off winds and a short period of 8 seconds. The energy is moderate to strong (946 and 1074), but honestly, it’s not clean and the swell is a bit too much for this break. Not ideal for paddling, maybe more interesting for kite surfers. Sunday the 30th is messy with cross-shore winds and a bit of storm risk, so give it a miss.

From Tuesday 1 September through to the end of the first week, we’re into smaller, more ordinary conditions. The swell drops to 3ft to 5ft, with periods around 8 to 9 seconds, and the wind is mostly cross or cross-off. The energy is weak to moderate (167 to 452). It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about. The second week from the 7th onward looks a bit more promising, but it’s inconsistent. Monday 7 September has a 5ft swell from the west-northwest with a period of 10 seconds and light cross-on wind in the morning, but the afternoon cleans up nicely with gentle cross-off breeze and good conditions. The energy is moderate (521). That’s a decent option for a quiet session.

After that, it tails off into smaller, weaker swells through the 12th and 13th, with the last few days showing only 1ft to 2ft waves and very low energy. The 13th has a long-period 15-second swell from the west-southwest, but it’s only 1ft, so it’s not going to light up. The long period might make it a bit too straight for the beach, but the point or reef could pick up something if you’re desperate.

Overall, your best bet is Monday 31 August – morning for the bigger, more powerful waves, or afternoon for cleaner, more manageable size. Everything else is a backup or a wait-and-see.

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.
