The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for Lesconil.
We’ve got a solid run of surf coming up, but it’s a bit of a mixed bag with the wind. The standout days are definitely at the start and then again next Sunday, where everything lines up for some clean, fun waves. The water is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, sitting at 66°.
Let’s kick off Wednesday morning, the 9th of September. The swell is a clean 5ft from the WNW, with a period of 9 seconds, and a gentle offshore breeze from the NNW is making it glassy. The combined wave energy is moderate (463). This is a really nice, clean option for a beginner-friendly wave.
Wednesday afternoon stays clean, with a moderate offshore breeze and a 4ft swell from the WNW. The wind picks up a bit, but it’s still offshore, so it’s rideable.
Thursday morning, the 10th, we see the swell drop to 2ft and the wind swings onshore from the S, making it choppy. Not worth it. Thursday afternoon is similar with a tiny 2ft swell.
Friday morning, the 11th, is a real treat. The swell bumps back up to 5ft from the W, with a 10-second period and a light offshore breeze from the NW. The energy is moderate (464). This is a top pick for the first week. Clean, fun, and plenty of push.
Friday afternoon holds up at 4ft with a cross-offshore wind, still good.
Saturday, the 12th, is a bit of a write-off with a messy cross-shore wind and a small 3ft swell. The afternoon has a 14-second period groundswell, but it’s only 2ft and not really breaking with any power.
Now, here’s your best bet for the whole first week. Sunday morning, the 13th of September. The swell is 5ft from the WNW, with an 11-second period, and a gentle offshore breeze from the WNW. The combined energy is strong (561). This is the best of the bunch. Clean, offshore, good size, and solid energy.
After that, the week tails off with much smaller surf and onshore winds for most of the following week. Monday the 14th is glassy but tiny at 3ft, and Tuesday the 15th is a complete chop-fest.
Looking into the second week, we get a few more clean windows. Thursday afternoon, the 17th of September, is a good call. The wind goes offshore from the NW at 16 mph, with a 4ft swell from the WNW. The energy is moderate (254). It’s clean, but the wind is a bit punchy.
Then, Saturday afternoon, the 19th of September, is another promising one. The wind is light and cross-offshore from the W, with a 4ft swell from the WNW and a nice 11-second period. The energy is moderate (401). This is a good, clean afternoon session.
The real standout in the second week, though, is Wednesday afternoon, the 23rd of September. The swell is 3ft from the W, but with a very long 14-second period. The wind is light and cross-offshore from the WSW, and the combined energy is strong (578). This is a classic groundswell. It’ll be clean, have plenty of push, and the long period means it will wrap in nicely. This is a solid pick for the second week.
Keep in mind, Lesconil is a beach and reef setup, so it’s exposed and handles the swell well. It’s very consistent, which is a bonus, but it can get crowded, so keep an eye out for company.
Rusty out.

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.
