The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what Lesconil (beach and reef) has in store for us over the next couple of weeks. Let’s be straight up – this stretch starts off rough and has some real thumpers later on, but for a beginner-friendly spot, the size gets a bit hairy.
Right off the bat, the outlook for the next few days is grim. Sunday the 30th and Monday the 31st are no good. Sunday we’ve got a messy 5ft to 7ft of weak, short-period W swell with strong SW cross winds, just a total mess. The 'combined energy of all swells directed here' gets a bit more punch (426 to 474), but with the wind and rain, don’t bother. Monday the 31st actually looks clean as a whistle with a moderate offshore WNW wind, but the swell is a solid 8ft with serious energy (1201) from the west at 10 seconds. That’s too big for this break, so unless you’re a real expert with your big-wave gun, give it a miss. Clean, but not for us.
We hit a dry spell until Thursday, September 4th. Tuesday (Aug 1st) and Wednesday (Aug 2nd) are flat to tiny, with no real energy. On Friday, September 4th, things get proper interesting. We’ve got a solid 8ft WNW groundswell on the Friday morning with a very long period of 14 seconds. The combined energy is a massive 4236. The wind is a clean cross-off from the WNW. This is going to be a powerful, clean day, but again, that 8ft mark is expert territory. If you are a chargy surfer, this is the standout of the whole run. The break handles it, but it’s a big one. The afternoon stays clean offshore with a 8ft swell. It’s a big, powerful swell (3404 combined energy) and it’s going to be for the experienced crew only.
After that, it’s a long wait. There’s a big gap of flat and marginal slop from Saturday, September 5th right through to Wednesday, September 10th. Nothing worth paddling out for. Just small windswell and onshore junk.
Looking further out, the next bit of real action is on Friday, September 11th. We’ve got another solid 7ft W groundswell (1290 combined energy) coming with a 12-second period and gentle offshore WSW wind in the morning. Again, this one bumps up against that “too big” threshold for Lesconil. It’s another one for the experienced guys. The swell is still good, but the weekend of the 12th and 13th looks straight-up messy with strong winds and solid, dumpy waves. Too blown out. A little hope for Monday the 14th with a clean 4ft W swell (490 combined energy) and moderate offshore NW wind – that would be a fun, clean day for everyone if it stays that size.
All in all, the true standout is that big, clean, expert session on Friday, September 4th. If that’s your level, you won’t want to miss it. For the rest of the crew, you’re looking at Monday, September 14th for something mellow and clean.
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.
