The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Lesconil over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, the first week is a bit of a heartbreaker. We’re looking at a long stretch of flat, messy conditions. From Sunday the 19th right through to Sunday the 26th, there’s just nothing worth paddling out for. The swell is tiny, mostly under 3ft, and the wind is all over the place – cross-onshore, lumpy, choppy. You’d be better off waxing your board and staring at the wall. There’s a glimmer of glassy conditions on the 23rd and 24th, but the swell is so weak (combined energy of all swells directed here at just 44 and 35) that it’s not even a ripple.
Finally, we get a pulse of life on Monday the 27th morning. The swell bumps up to 2ft from the WNW with a moderate offshore wind, and the combined energy climbs to 116 (moderate). It’s surfable, but still very ordinary. Not a standout, just a sign that things are waking up.
Now, here’s where it gets interesting. Tuesday the 28th morning is a real turning point. The swell lifts to 5ft from the WNW with a 8-second period, combined energy hits 286 (moderate), and we’ve got a gentle cross-offshore breeze. That’s clean, fun waves for the intermediate crowd. But the real standout? Wednesday the 29th morning. This is the one to circle. The swell is 6ft from the WNW, period 10 seconds, combined energy a strong 518, and the wind is glass – absolutely dead calm. That’s going to be pure, groomed lines at the Lesconil beach and reef. It’s a bit too big for groms, but for the experienced surfer, it’s a dream. The water temp is about average for this time of year.
Thursday the 30th and Friday the 31st keep the goodness rolling with 5ft to 6ft swell and clean offshore winds, though the afternoon sessions get a bit of a fresher breeze that can make things lumpy. Then, Saturday the 1st of August morning is another barnstormer. We’re looking at 7ft from the WNW with a 10-second period, combined energy of a massive 1447 (strong to very strong), and light offshore winds. That’s excellent, powerful surf, but it’s firmly in the experts-only zone. Beginners, stay on the beach for this one.
By Sunday the 2nd and Monday the 3rd, the wind swings onshore and the quality drops off a cliff, so get your fill earlier.
Bottom line: The first week is a washout. The standout sessions are Wednesday the 29th morning and Saturday the 1st of August morning. Both offer solid, clean swell with favorable winds. Wednesday is the more user-friendly of the two, while Saturday is for the crew who want to get pitted.

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.
