The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. The name’s Rusty, and I’m looking at what’s on the table for Lesconil over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you: the first ten days are a real struggle. We’re looking at a long, flat spell with nothing worth paddling out for. From Tuesday the 14th right through to Thursday the 24th, the swell is tiny, mostly around 0.7 ft to 2 ft, with weak energy readings (most are under 100). The winds are a mixed bag, but the waves just aren’t there. You’ll see some glassy mornings on the 17th and 18th, but with only 1 ft of swell, it’s a lake, not a surf.
Then things finally change on Friday the 24th. A pulse of swell shows up, pushing 6 ft from the WSW, but the period is a short 7 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 371 (moderate), but the quality is still marked as poor. The wind is a cross-offshore, so it’ll be clean, but that short period means it’ll be a bit messy and disorganised. It’s a glimmer, but not the one.
The standout window is Saturday the 25th. The swell drops a little to 5 ft, still from the WSW, but the energy is solid at 242 (moderate). The wind is light and cross-offshore in the afternoon, giving us clean surf. The forecast says “expect good surf conditions.” This is your best bet. For a beginner-friendly spot like Lesconil, 5 ft is right on the edge of being too big, but it’s manageable. The short period (7 seconds) means it’ll be a bit walled up at the beach, but the reef sections might offer a better line. Crowds are common here, so don’t expect to have it to yourself.
After that, Sunday the 26th gets blown out with strong winds gusting up to 31 mph from the SSW, making a mess of the 3 ft to 4 ft swell. The rest of the run into the end of the month drops back down to marginal, knee-high waves with onshore winds.
So, bottom line: sit tight through the first week and a half. Saturday the 25th is your day. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual there. It’s a long wait, but that one afternoon looks like it’ll deliver a few fun ones.
Rusty.

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.
