The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about Lesconil over the next couple of weeks. The first few days are a dud, so don’t rush down. Water temp is about 18°, which is normal for this time of year, so a spring suit will do.
Wednesday the 2nd and Thursday the 3rd of September are flat and ugly. Cross-shore breezes and weak, short-period swell with energy barely over 100. Not worth your time. Friday the 4th is a little better with a clean morning and 1.1m of west swell, but still just okay. Friday afternoon sees energy climb to 421, but the conditions are nothing special.
Saturday the 5th is where it gets real. The morning is a bit of a letdown with onshore wind, but Saturday afternoon is a standout. Clean, 1.5m swell from the W/NW, period hitting 12 seconds, and combined energy of 617. The wind is offshore from the west, so the waves will be clean and well-shaped. This is the best of the whole run. Sunday the 6th goes flat again.
Monday the 7th of September is another killer. Clear skies, strong offshore wind from the NW at 20–30 km/h, and a solid 1.3m to 1.5m groundswell from the west with a very long period of 14 seconds. Energy is pumping (661–670). This is a proper groundswell, best for the reef and points at Lesconil – the long period will make the beach breaks a bit too straight. Tuesday the 8th is still good, with clean 1–1.4m waves.
Now, Wednesday the 9th of September brings a meaty 2.0m morning swell from the west, 9-second period, and massive energy of 1191. The wind is offshore and strong, so the waves will be powerful and clean. At 2.0m, this is for experts only. The afternoon drops to 1.6m, still solid.
After that, the swell fades through the 10th and 11th, with wind and chop making it rough. The 12th and 13th pick up again with moderate offshore winds and 1–1.6m swell, but nothing like the Monday peak. The 14th is a washout, and the 15th is tiny.
The back half, from the 16th and 17th, shows a little pulse of longer-period swell (11–14 seconds) but with mixed cross-shore winds and energy around 100–319. It’s rideable but not memorable.
So, the two best windows are Saturday afternoon the 5th and Monday morning the 7th of September. Saturday is clean, 1.5m, and fun for everyone. Monday is bigger, cleaner, and more powerful – one for the experienced surfers. Don’t miss those.

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.
