The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. The first couple of days are pretty flat. Wednesday morning you’re looking at a tiny 2 ft swell from the west at Lesconil—weak energy (63), cross-on wind, and generally poor surf. Water temp is sitting at 63°, which is a bit colder than normal for this time of year. Nothing to get excited about.
Thursday sees a bump to 4 ft from the southwest, but the period is short (7 seconds) and the wind is cross-shore, so it’s messy. Afternoon cleans up with clear skies but still just marginal. Friday morning offers a cleaner look with cross-off wind and 4 ft from the west at 9 seconds, energy (234). Still not great, but the best so far.
Now, Saturday 29th August gets interesting. The morning is a write-off: 8 ft from the southwest with a strong 28 mph cross-wind, energy (666) but messy. But the afternoon? That’s the standout. 8 ft from the west-southwest at 8 seconds, clean with cross-off wind. That’s a big, powerful swell—960 units of energy. It’s going to be too big for beginners, but for experienced surfers, Lesconil could be pumping. The wind is favorable and the tide should line up.
Sunday 30th August is a step down: 6 ft from the west, 10 seconds, but cross-wind and messy. The afternoon looks cleaner but the wind is up to 25 mph. Monday 31st August morning is another big one—8 ft from the west, 9 seconds, energy (1000), clean cross-off wind. Again, too big for beginners but for experts it’s a solid swell. The afternoon settles to 7 ft with 10 seconds, still clean and glassy—very good surf.
Tuesday 1st September is more manageable: 4 ft from the west, 9 seconds, cross-off wind, clean, and energy (282). Good surf, and a nice option for most surfers. After that, things drop off. Wednesday through Friday are small, weak, and messy. The wave energy dips to as low as 80 on Thursday 3rd September.
Then Saturday 5th September brings a longer period swell—6 ft from the west at 11 seconds, energy (807)—but the wind is cross-on and choppy. Not ideal. Sunday 6th is similar, with a 13-second period but only 3 ft. The swell is there but the wind is cross.
Monday 7th September afternoon sees a surge: 7 ft from the west, 8 seconds, energy (612), light cross-off wind. Clean, but again too big for beginners. The real gem is Thursday 10th September: 7 ft from the west at 11 seconds, energy (1070), and glassy conditions. That’s a serious groundswell—long period, clean, and powerful. It’s a bit heavy for most, but for experts, it’s a dream.
So, the best on offer? Saturday 29th August afternoon and Thursday 10th September. Both are big, clean, and powerful. If you’re an experienced surfer, mark those dates.

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.
