The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on the menu for our local break, Lesconil. It’s a mixed beach and reef setup, exposed to the swell, and it’s a super consistent wave, so it’s always got potential. But we’re looking at a bit of a slow start.
The water temp is sitting at 65°, which is exactly average for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.
The first few days are a bit of a write-off. We’ve got some tiny swell and poor wind conditions through Friday and Saturday. The waves are just too small and messy to bother with. Sunday morning, the 9th, we finally get a bit of a clean-up. A gentle offshore wind from the NW is blowing, and the waves are a weak 2ft from the WNW with a period of 9 seconds. The combined swell energy is pitiful, only 63 – it’s surfable, but you’ll be scratching for anything decent.
Monday the 10th and Tuesday the 11th are a similar story—small, weak, and mostly onshore or cross-shore. It’s not worth getting too excited about.
We start to see a glimmer of hope on Wednesday the 12th with a morning offshore breeze and a 3ft swell from the west, period of 10 seconds. The energy is climbing to 131, so it’s got a bit more push. Thursday the 13th is similar, though the wind is a bit stronger in the afternoon, getting fresh.
Now, the first real standout comes on Friday the 14th. The morning is looking good: a 3ft groundswell from the WNW with a period of 10 seconds, combined energy of 229, and a nice cross-offshore breeze from the NNE. That’s clean, lined-up, and good for the longboard or a fun shortboard. The afternoon stays clean too, but the wind picks up a bit. This is the best bet for the early part of the run.
The weekend after that, the 15th and 16th, is a bit of a mixed bag. Saturday afternoon has a 3ft wave with a decent energy of 116, but the wind is light and cross-off, so it’s surfable but not a standout.
The next big highlight is on Monday the 17th into Tuesday the 18th. Monday afternoon, the swell jumps to 5ft from the WNW with a period of 7 seconds, and a moderate offshore wind. The combined energy is a solid 284. That’s a proper wave, but at 5ft, it’s getting a bit too big for absolute beginners. Tuesday the 18th sees the swell holding at 6ft from the west, with a period of 8 seconds. The energy is 386. It’s a clean, powerful wave, but the wind is cross-off, so it’ll be a bit tricky. This is still a good session for the more experienced surfer.
Now, the real stand-out of the whole 16-day window, though, is a bit further out. Keep your eyes on Wednesday the 19th. The afternoon session is looking absolutely prime. We’ve got a 5ft swell from the west with a period of 8 seconds, but the combined energy is a massive 556. That’s a lot of power. The wind is blowing offshore from the WNW, moderate, which is going to groom those waves into beautiful, clean lines. This is the one to circle on the calendar.
The 20th and 21st are still surfable, but the wind gets a bit strong and the swell energy drops off.
Finally, the last big event is on Saturday the 22nd. The swell is predicted to be huge – 8ft from the west with a period of 9 seconds, and the energy is through the roof at 1004. That is a lot of water. The wind is offshore, so it’ll be clean, but this is a warning: at 8ft, this is only for experienced surfers. It’s too big for beginners and will be a proper challenge for anyone. It’s a powerful, heavy wave at that size.
So, in summary, Friday the 14th morning is a great, fun, clean session. Wednesday the 19th afternoon is the big ticket item for the best combination of size, power, and clean conditions. And the 22nd is a big, powerful day for the experts only. The rest of the time is a bit of a mixed bag, so pick your windows.
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.
