Lesconil Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for Lesconil.

Right off the bat, we’re looking at a pretty flat start. Thursday the 10th is a write-off with poor surf conditions and weak energy. The first real chance to get wet doesn’t roll in until Friday morning the 11th, so that’s a solid day of waiting.

Friday the 11th is where it kicks off. The morning brings a clean 5ft swell from the W with a 9-second period, and a gentle cross-offshore breeze. The combined energy is moderate at 341, and it’s looking good. The afternoon holds up well too, with 4ft and clean conditions. This is a solid, surfable day for the beginner-friendly breaks.

Saturday the 12th starts off glassy with a 3ft swell, but the conditions are only ordinary. The afternoon cleans up nicely with a cross-offshore breeze and a 3ft swell from the W, jumping to a 10-second period, giving it a bit more push. The energy is moderate at 327.

Sunday the 13th is the pick of the first week. The morning has a 5ft swell from the WNW with an 11-second period, delivering moderate-to-strong energy at 494. The wind is a light cross-offshore, so it’ll be clean. This is the standout for the early part of the run. The afternoon drops off slightly with a moderate breeze and a 5ft swell, but it’s still rideable.

Monday the 14th is a step down. The morning has a 3ft swell with onshore wind, and the energy is moderate at 200, but it’s marginal. The afternoon is poor.

Tuesday the 15th is poor all day, with waves dropping to 2ft and weak energy. The afternoon has a strong offshore wind, but the swell is tiny at 1ft, making it a tough paddle for little reward.

Now, Wednesday the 16th gets interesting. The morning has a 7ft WNW swell with a fresh offshore wind, and the energy is strong at 592. But the afternoon is the real standout: a 8ft swell from the WNW with a 10-second period, and the combined energy is very strong at 1845. However, the file says this is too big for this break, so only the experts should even think about it. The wind is a fresh cross-offshore, so it’ll be clean, but it’s a serious step up in size.

The rest of the week is a mixed bag. Thursday the 17th has a solid 4ft morning with clean conditions, but the afternoon is marginal. Friday the 18th is poor. Saturday the 19th has a fresh offshore wind but only a 3ft swell, making it marginal. The afternoon has a very long 16-second period but only 2ft of swell, so it’s weak.

Sunday the 20th is a good day. Morning and afternoon both have a 4ft swell from the WNW with a 12-second period, and moderate energy around 322-341. The wind is a gentle cross-offshore, so it’s clean. This is a solid, consistent option.

Monday the 21st is tricky. The morning has a strong cross-offshore wind at 25 mph, making it poor for paddling despite the 4ft swell. The afternoon is better with a moderate offshore wind and a 4ft swell, giving good conditions.

The final days get messy. Tuesday the 22nd and Wednesday the 23rd are poor. Thursday the 24th has a 5ft swell but with onshore wind and choppy conditions. The afternoon has a 7ft swell that is too big for the break.

Friday the 25th is the biggest of the whole run, with a 8ft swell from the W and a 14-second period, and a massive combined energy of 2981. But again, this is too big for Lesconil, and the wind is onshore. Only for the brave and very experienced.

For the best on offer, I’d point you to Sunday the 13th morning for the best balance of size, clean wind, and moderate energy. The second standout is Wednesday the 16th morning for the experts, with that 7ft swell and clean offshore breeze. The afternoon of the 16th is the biggest, but it’s a beast.

The water temperature is 66°, which is about a degree warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’s a touch on the mild side.

Remember, the long-range stuff for the 24th and 25th is promising in size, but less certain this far out.

Rusty, signing off.
