The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Lesconil. Gotta be straight with you – this forecast is a bit of a slow burn. We’ve got a long stretch of small, weak surf ahead before a big pulse of energy shows up, but it comes with a serious size warning.
The water temperature is sitting at 68°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. Not a game-changer, but nice to know.
Right now, through the end of July and the first week of August, it’s pretty flat. We’re looking at swells mostly under 3ft, with periods barely scraping 10 seconds, and the combined swell energy is weak – mostly in the 30 to 80 range. There’s a few windows with clean conditions, like Thursday morning (30th July) with a gentle offshore breeze, but the waves are tiny. It’s a real waiting game. You’ve got a solid 10 days or so of nothing worth paddling out for.
The action picks up on Tuesday, 11th August. The swell swings around to the WSW, building to 6ft by Tuesday morning, with the combined energy jumping to 468 (moderate). The wind is light cross-onshore, so it’s a bit bumpy, but something is finally happening. The standout is Tuesday afternoon, 11th August. The swell hits 8ft from the WSW, period at 8 seconds, and the energy rockets up to 832. The wind shifts to a cross-offshore breeze, making it clean. But here’s the catch – at 8ft, this is getting into expert territory. It’s too big for beginners, and the swell is predicted to be too big for this break. This is a serious, powerful wave.
Wednesday, 12th August, keeps the goods going. Morning sees a 7ft W swell, with 623 energy and a clean, gentle offshore wind from the NW. The afternoon stays clean with a fresh offshore breeze, swell still at 7ft and 587 energy. Again, this is big, powerful stuff – only for the experienced crew.
So, the best on offer is the afternoon of the 11th and the morning of the 12th of August. Big, clean, powerful WSW and W swell. If you’re an expert and you’ve got the skills, that’s your window. For everyone else, it’s a long wait for a wave that’s too much of a handful.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
