The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's talk about what's coming up for Lesconil.
This is a bit of a mixed bag, but there's a proper window of good, clean waves on the way, and a real standout session right at the end of the forecast for the experienced crew. The water is sitting at a touch warmer than normal for the season, about 66°, which is a nice bonus.
The action kicks off on Tuesday afternoon, September 8th, but this one's a bit of a beast. We've got a 8ft swell from the west, with moderate energy (963). It's too big for this spot, and with a fresh 21 mph offshore breeze, it's going to be a battle. This one’s for the experts only, if anyone.
The real good stuff starts Wednesday morning, September 9th. The swell drops to a cleaner 5ft from the WNW, with a moderate 12 mph offshore wind from the NNW. The wave energy is moderate (476), and the conditions are looking clean. That carries through to the afternoon with a 4ft swell and a light offshore, keeping things tidy.
Thursday, September 10th, is a write-off. Swell drops right off and the wind turns onshore, creating a messy, choppy mess. We skip that.
Friday, September 11th, we're back in business. The morning brings a clean 5ft swell from the west with a gentle offshore breeze. The energy is moderate (407). The afternoon holds similar with a 4ft W swell and a moderate offshore, though the wind picks up a bit.
Saturday morning, September 12th, is a beauty. The swell is 3ft from the west, the wind is glassy at 3 mph from the NW. That’s a flat ocean and clean, little waves. The energy is moderate (230). The afternoon is still clean but a bit more cross-off.
Sunday, September 13th, is a standout. The morning is glassy again with a 5ft swell from the WNW, and the period stretches to 12 seconds, giving it proper groundswell energy. The combined energy is moderate (569). This is the best window for a relaxed, clean surf. The afternoon is still good but the wind gets a bit cross-off.
The following week is pretty ordinary. There are small, inconsistent waves from Monday the 14th through to Tuesday the 22nd of September. Most days are small, with the wind onshore or cross-shore, making for poor conditions. There are a few mornings with a weak offshore, but the swell is too small to get excited about. It's a long flat spell.
Then, hold onto your boards. On Wednesday, September 23rd, the forecast gets interesting. The morning shows a 5ft swell from the west with a very long 17-second period. The combined energy is strong (1486). This is a big, powerful groundswell, but with a cross-shore wind, it's a bit of a gamble for the beach break setup.
The real standout is Wednesday afternoon, September 23rd. The swell pulses to 6ft from the west, with a 16-second period. The energy is very strong (1657). The wind is a light 3 mph cross-off breeze, making for clean conditions. This is a big, powerful swell that will be lining up nicely. It's for experienced surfers only, as it's over 5ft, but it's the best looking day of the whole 16-day window. This will be one to remember, but remember, it's a long way out, so keep an eye on it.
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.
