Lesconil Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Lesconil's got cookin' for us.

Right off the bat, the early part of the week is a bit of a letdown. Wednesday and Thursday are pretty flat and messy, not worth paddling out for. There's a bit of a wait on our hands, but hang tight.

Things start to look a little more interesting with a small bump on Friday afternoon. You'll see 5ft sets from the WNW, with a period of 9 seconds. A solid cross-offshore wind should keep it clean, making it a decent option for the beginners out there. The wave energy is building, hitting a moderate 516, so there's some push behind it.

Saturday afternoon is where we start to see some real promise. Swell picks up to 5ft from the WNW, but the period stretches out to 12 seconds, so this is a proper groundswell. Offshore winds from the WSW will make for some clean, lined-up walls. Wave energy is strong at 617. Keep in mind though, this is a beach and reef set-up, and with that long period, the waves might be a bit too straight for the beach sections, so look to the reef for the better shape.

Now, if you've got some time and a bit of experience, you gotta mark your calendar for Monday the 7th. The forecast is showing some serious power with a 7ft swell from the west and a solid 11-second period. This is expert territory, it's too big for beginners. The wave energy is absolutely pumping, clocking in at a very strong 1886. However, be aware this break can get too big for its own good, and the report notes it might actually be too big for this spot to handle properly. The crowds here can be an issue as they often are, so if you do head out, you'll be competing for the good ones. This is the standout, but only for the crew who knows what they're doing.

After that big Monday, the swell backs off a bit through Tuesday and Wednesday, still offering some clean but smaller 6ft to 5ft surf for the more intermediate crew. The water temp is sitting at about 64°, which is pretty normal for the time of year.

For the second week, it's a bit of a mixed bag dropping off further. There's a nice little window on Monday the 14th and Tuesday the 15th with clear skies and some clean, knee to waist-high waves. The morning of the 14th shows 4ft from the west with a long 12-second period and light offshore winds, making it a perfect little clean session, mostly for the longboarders.

All in all, the real action is that Monday the 7th for the big-wave chargers, and the weekends offer some fun, clean waves if you're not too picky about size.

Stay stoked,
Rusty.
