Lesconil Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, grab your wettie, let’s have a look at what Lesconil is cooking up over the next couple of weeks.

It kicks off this Friday morning with a bit of life in the water. We’re looking at chest-high waves around 5ft from the west, and that 10-second period means there’s a bit of push behind them. The wind is a gentle offshore from the northwest, keeping the face clean, and the water is sitting at 65°, which is right around normal for this time of year. The energy is moderate at 408. It’s a good start, but it’s just a warm-up for what's coming.

The weekend gets a bit smaller, with the swell dropping to around the 3ft mark on Saturday morning. But Saturday morning is glassy. Totally clean lines. It’ll be a fun one for a log or a fish, but it’s not going to be setting the world on fire. The afternoon breeze mixes it up a little. Sunday morning has a touch more size and a better period, that northwest angle is starting to show. We're talking 5ft with an 11-second period and a light offshore wind, again looking clean. The combined energy is moderate at 439.

Monday and Tuesday are a bit of a write-off. The wind swings onshore and it gets messy. Tuesday afternoon does have a bump in swell, up to 6ft, but that strong offshore wind is going to be a battle to get out through. It’s not worth the paddle for the conditions on offer.

Now, here’s where things get interesting. Wednesday, the 16th, is the first real standout. The swell pushes up to 7ft from the west-northwest with a 10-second period. The wind is offshore, and that energy reading jumps right up—we’re looking at strong energy at 756 in the morning, but it really piles in for the afternoon session. That afternoon reading is a massive 1259, showing strong to very strong energy. This is a proper surf day. This is one for the more experienced. At 7ft, it’s pushing past the beginner zone. Get your good board out for this one.

Thursday the 17th is still surfable but the wind gets a bit tricky, so the quality drops off. Not a write-off, but nothing to write home about either.

Then we get to the real gem of the whole window: Friday morning, the 18th of September. This is the one to circle. There’s 5ft of west-northwest swell rolling in with a long 12-second period, and the wind is absolute glass. Dead flat calm. The energy is strong at 557, and the note says it all—this is prime Lesconil. Long period like that can make it a bit walled at a beach break, but this being a beach and reef mix, it should have some good sections. This is your dawn patrol, the pick of the entire forecast.

The second week is more of a mixed bag. The weekend and early part of the week look poor with onshore winds and choppy conditions. There’s another potential window around the 22nd and the 26th, where the wind goes offshore again. The 25th has more size, pushing close to 7ft, but the wind is cross, so it won't be as clean.

Overall, the highlight is that Friday the 18th. Get on it. The Wednesday before is a close second if you want more size. Everything else is average at best.
