The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk about what’s on the menu for Lesconil.
First thing’s first: the water is sitting at 64.9°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The next 16 days are a bit of a mixed bag. We’ve got a long stretch of marginal, small surf with some clean windows, but it’s not until the second week that things really get interesting. The first few days are a grind, but hold on.
Saturday 8th is a non-starter. We’ve got a 1.6ft cross-shore wind and weak energy (66), so just leave the board in the car.
Sunday 9th morning offers a little hope. A 2ft WNW swell with a gentle offshore wind from the NNW. The energy is weak (63), but the glassy conditions mean it’ll be clean. By afternoon, the wind swings onshore and picks up to 15 mph, making it messy.
Monday 10th is similar. Morning is clean again with a light cross-offshore breeze and a 2ft swell. It’s small and weak (72), but you can get a few soft ones if you’re desperate. The afternoon gets blown out by a fresh offshore that’s too strong for the size.
Tuesday 11th is a write-off. The swell drops to 1.3ft with weak energy (38) and a cross-onshore wind in the morning. Not worth a paddle.
Wednesday 12th sees a touch more size (2.6ft) but the wind is onshore or cross, making it choppy and poor. Energy is moderate (135) but the conditions are junk.
Thursday 13th is the first real standout. Morning delivers a 3.6ft groundswell from the west with a long 11-second period, bringing moderate energy (284). The wind is offshore and clean from the NW. This is the best bet in the early run. The afternoon turns a bit too windy with a fresh breeze, but the morning session is good for a beginner-friendly wave.
Friday 14th morning is clean again with a 3ft swell and offshore wind, but it’s just ordinary. The afternoon gets too windy.
Saturday 15th morning is small and clean (2.3ft), but the afternoon has a 3.9ft swell with fresh offshore wind. It’s a bit tricky with the wind, but the energy is moderate (224).
Sunday 16th morning is clean but small (3ft), and the afternoon sees a 4.3ft swell with a very short 6-second period, which is just bumpy and poor.
After that, from Monday 17th through to Friday 21st, the surf is tiny or blown out. Most days have poor conditions with strong offshore winds that just chop up the surface. It’s a wasteland.
Saturday 22nd brings a jump in size. A 5.2ft to 5.6ft swell from the west with strong energy (432 to 472). The wind is fresh offshore but the period is short (9 seconds). It’s a bit blown and messy, not great.
Now, the real standout comes on Sunday 23rd August. This is for the experts only. A big 7.9ft to 8.2ft swell from the WNW with a very long 10-second period. The combined energy is massive (1242). The wind is fresh offshore, so the waves will be lined up and powerful. But this is too big for beginners – this is for experienced surfers only. The break is a beach and reef setup, so with that size and long period, it’s going to be a heavy, critical wave. If you’re not confident, sit this one out.
Overall, if you’re looking for a score, the best windows are Thursday 13th morning for the clean, fun-sized waves, and Sunday 23rd for the big, powerful swell if you’ve got the skills.

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.
