The Lowdown
Hey there, Rusty here. Let's break down what's cooking at Lesconil over the next couple of weeks. We've got a bit of a slow start, a solid pulse of energy, and then a long flat spell.
The first real chance to get wet is Sunday morning, September 13th. We're looking at a 5ft swell out of the WNW, period of 11 seconds, with a light offshore breeze from the NNW at 3 mph. The water will be glassy clean. Wave energy is moderate (431). For a beginner-friendly spot like this, that's a fun, easy paddle out.
Monday the 14th and Tuesday the 15th are mostly small and junky. Not worth a mention. Skip 'em.
Things start to build on Wednesday the 16th. The afternoon sees the swell hit 6ft from the WNW, with a 10-second period and a fresh offshore wind from the NW at 19 mph. Energy jumps to a strong 814. It's starting to get some push, but the wind might put a bit of a wrinkle on the face.
Thursday the 17th is blown out. Save your energy for Friday the 18th. Friday morning brings a solid 6ft of WNW swell, a long 13-second period, and a very strong energy reading of 1470. The wind is a moderate cross-offshore. Friday afternoon is even meatier: 7ft from the WNW, 14-second period, and energy at 1441. That's proper groundswell. The longer period means more power and shape, but at a beach and reef break, it can get a bit walled-up.
Saturday the 19th is messy again. But hold on to your hats for Sunday the 20th. The morning shows a 7ft WNW swell, 14-second period, and energy at a huge 1752. The wind is light and cross-offshore. That’s a ton of water, and it's flagged as potentially too big for this break. The afternoon, though, is the absolute best of the period: 7ft swell from the west, a very long 17-second period, and massive energy at 2357. Wind is light and cross-offshore. That is a serious, heavy groundswell. Only for experienced surfers. Pristine conditions.
Monday the 21st has a few waves left, but nothing special. From Tuesday the 22nd onward, it's a long, drawn-out fade to flat. By the 24th of September, the energy readings are down in the 50s and 60s. The last two weeks of the month are basically a write-off with tiny, weak surf.
So, to boil it down: the first few days are mellow and clean. The crown jewel is Sunday afternoon, September 20th – big, powerful, and perfect winds for the guys who can handle it. Friday the 18th is a close second. The rest of the run is for the kite surfers or the folks who just want to sunbathe.

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.
