Alright, let’s get into it. The water’s sitting at 64°F right now, which is pretty much average for this time of year, so nothing weird going on there.
Honestly, mate, it’s a rough start. We’re looking at a whole lot of nothing through the first week. From July 5th right through to the 11th, the surf is mostly flat and junky – tiny swell, messy wind, and just not worth paddling out for. There’s a bit of energy here and there, but the conditions are poor.
The first real glimmer comes on Friday morning the 10th. Lesconil will have 3ft of swell from the WNW, and with glassy conditions and light winds, it’ll be clean. But it’s only small, and the energy is weak (141). It’s a session for the log or the foiler.
That Saturday the 11th has a similar story – glassy morning with 3ft swell, but the period is short at 7 seconds, so it’ll be a bit weak and crumbly.
Sunday the 12th sees a bump in energy (207) and 4ft swell from the WNW, but the wind is cross-shore and there’s light rain, so it’s still marginal. Not a standout.
Now, here’s the one that gets the blood pumping. Saturday, July 18th is the pick. The afternoon session at Lesconil looks proper. You’ve got 4ft of WNW swell with a 10-second period, light offshore wind from the NW, and the energy reading jumps to 488 – that’s a solid, rideable wall. Conditions are clean, and it’s shaping up to be the best wave of the whole forecast. That’s the day to block out.
But hold on – Monday the 20th is a big warning. Swell jumps to 7ft from the WNW, with strong offshore winds, but that’s too much size for this break. It’s expert-only territory, and even then, it’ll be heavy and hard to paddle into. The energy is 889, massive, but it’s a beast that’s likely to close out. Leave that one for the kamikazes.
So, the long and short: there’s a long dry spell until the 18th. That Saturday afternoon is the true standout. After that, the swell gets too big. Keep an eye on that date.

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.
