Table - best surf conditions forecast for Lesconil over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright, let’s take a look at Lesconil. This is a very consistent beach-and-reef break that’s exposed to the swell and loves a WSW direction. Water temp is 17°, which is a bit colder than usual for this time of year, so a thicker wetsuit is a good idea.
Right now, and for the next couple of days, it’s pretty flat and messy. Thursday afternoon has a little 3ft swell from the SW with a light cross-off breeze, but it’s just surfable waves in ordinary conditions. Friday is even smaller, with 3ft and a fresh breeze making things rough.
Saturday the 29th jumps up to 8ft to 8ft from the WSW, but with a short 8-second period and strong SW winds. The combined energy is moderate to strong (661 to 836), but conditions are poor with a messy cross-chop. This is for the experienced crew only. Sunday’s similar, with 5ft and more cross-shore wind.
Now, Monday the 31st is a standout. Morning sees 8ft of west swell, clean cross-off winds, and energy up around 971. The swell’s predicted to be too big for this break, so it’s expert-only, but if you’re solid, this could be the best session. Tuesday the 1st of September drops to 4ft with glassy, light winds – clean and fun for most.
The middle of the week goes quiet. Wednesday and Thursday are small, under 5ft, with weak energy. Friday the 4th picks up a little – 5ft from the WNW with offshore NW winds in the morning. The energy is moderate (493), and the waves should be clean and well-shaped. Good option.
Then there’s a big swell on the 11th of September. Friday morning brings 8ft from the west with a 9-second period and massive energy of 1643. That’s a lot of power, likely too big for Lesconil, so experts only. The afternoon eases to 6ft with offshore winds, giving very good conditions. That’s a solid session for the experienced crowd.
Honestly, the standout is Monday the 31st morning if you’re up for a challenge, and Friday the 11th afternoon for clean, powerful waves. The rest is mostly small or messy.

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.
