Lesconil Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Lesconil over the next two weeks.

The biggest thing I’m seeing is that we’ve got a long, quiet stretch ahead. We’re looking at a whole lot of nothing until things finally start to move around the 26th of July. For the first few days, the swell is tiny, with the combined energy barely registering—just 34 and 14 on the 23rd, then even smaller. The wind is a mess, and the water is sitting at 68°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but it doesn’t matter when there’s no surf to ride. It’s a proper flat spell, so don’t bother checking the beach until the weekend.

The first real spark of hope comes on Sunday the 26th of July. The morning kicks off with a 5ft swell from the WNW, with a period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy jumps right up to 199 (moderate). The wind is offshore from the WNW, meaning it will be clean. That’s the first session worth paddling out for. The afternoon gets a bit bigger, hitting 6ft from the WNW with a period of 8 seconds, and the energy jumps to 319 (moderate). It’s a bit more size, but the wind is still fresh offshore, so it’ll be clean. That 6ft is getting a little meaty, but it’s still manageable for most.

Now, the standout. Monday the 27th of July is the pick of the whole forecast. The morning session has a 4ft WNW swell, a 9-second period, and a combined energy of 299 (moderate). The wind is a light cross-offshore from the N, so the surface will be pretty clean. It’s the best combo of size, shape, and conditions we see. The afternoon gets a bit bigger at 5ft and the energy jumps to 370 (moderate), but the wind swings fresh offshore from the WNW, which is still clean but a bit more of a handful. Monday morning is the one to set the alarm for.

After that, it drops off again. Tuesday the 28th is a write-off with cross-onshore wind and messy, choppy conditions. The rest of the week into August is a mix of tiny, weak swells with combined energy mostly under 100. The wind is a real mixed bag, sometimes offshore, sometimes cross-off, but the swell just isn’t there to make it worthwhile. There’s a moment on the 3rd of August, Monday morning, where the wind goes glassy and the swell is 3ft from the W with a 7-second period, but the energy is only 64 (weak). It’s a nice, clean morning for a longboard or a finless setup, but don’t expect any power.

Overall, this is a lean period with one clear highlight on the 27th of July. For the rest, you’re looking at flat spells and small, weak waves. The best advice is to watch the wind and pounce on that Monday morning, because the rest of the window is pretty quiet.

Rusty.
