The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again. Let's talk about the next couple of weeks in proper feet. Honestly, the picture is a grim one right off the bat. We're in for a long, flat stretch, and the only real opportunity is buried deep in the second week.
Right from the get-go, Wednesday the 29th and Thursday the 30th are a total dud. We're talking knee-high, 2ft to 3ft swell from the WNW, but the wind is all wrong—cross-on and messy on Wednesday, and while Thursday has offshore wind, the waves are still junk. Hard pass.
Then we hit a real dead zone. From Friday the 31st of July all the way through to Tuesday the 11th of August, it’s just about dead flat. The swell sticks at barely 1ft to 2ft for days on end, and the combined wave energy is trash, stuck in the 20s and 30s (weak energy). There is nothing to even think about paddling for.
On Tuesday the 11th of August, there's a brief, tiny pulse. The afternoon bumps up to about 4ft from the NW, but the period is a short 6 seconds, so it's just sloppy wind swell. Combined energy finally ticks over 100 (moderate energy) for the first time in ages. The wind is a light cross-off, so it’s surfable, but it’s nothing special—a 1 out of 10 on the forecast, really.
The best of a bad bunch is the morning of Wednesday the 12th of August. We’ve got a clean 3ft swell from the NW, light 7-second period, and a proper offshore wind from the NW. The water temps are near 68°, which is a touch warmer than usual for the season. This is the single best session in the whole 16 days, and it’s still only average.
After that, it drops straight back down. Thursday the 13th is back to a tiny 2ft swell, and that's it for the run. Honestly, the only day worth even checking the cam for is that Wednesday, August 12th. Otherwise, save the gas.
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.
