The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on the table for our local stretch.

Alright, the overall pattern is a bit of a mixed bag. We’ve got some solid swell pulses coming through, but the wind and tide are going to be the real gatekeepers. The water temp is sitting at 66°F, which is about normal for this time of year, so the wetsuit you’re wearing is fine.

The first real chance to get wet kicks off on Monday the 7th. Lesconil is seeing a 6ft to 6ft swell from the west, with a long 13-second period, packing a hefty amount of energy (1155 and 1179). The wind is a cross-off, so the waves will be clean. It’s a very consistent spot, but it’s often crowded, so you’ll have company. That said, this is a good start to the week.

Tuesday the 8th is a write-off. We’ve got a 34 mph offshore wind on the morning session. The swell is 7ft, but with that wind, it’s a mess. The afternoon sees a drop in wind to 22 mph, and the swell pushes to 8ft, but the forecast says it’s too big for this break. This is expert territory, and even then, it’s a tough paddle.

Wednesday the 9th is a drop-off. Swell drops to 5ft-6ft, and the wind is cross-off or offshore, but the energy is lower (509 and 893). The quality is only marginal.

We hit a flat spell from Thursday the 10th through to Saturday the 12th. The swell drops to under 3ft, and the energy is weak (85 to 266). The 12th morning has a glassy 2ft, but it’s just not enough to get excited about.

Sunday the 13th is the standout. The morning brings a 5ft swell from the west-northwest, a very long 13-second period, and a light cross-off wind. The energy is solid (823). The afternoon is similar, with a 5ft swell. This is the best bet for the first week. The long period will make for nice, well-shaped waves at the reef and river, but the sets will be spaced out. It’s a very consistent spot, but likely crowded, so get in early.

Monday the 14th is a glassy morning with a 3ft swell, but it’s small. The rest of the week is a bit of a blur. Tuesday the 15th afternoon has a promising 6ft swell with a 12-second period and clean conditions (933 energy), but the morning is a cross-on mess.

Then we get into some serious size. Thursday the 17th and Friday the 18th see the swell jump to 10ft and 8ft, with energy readings over 2000. This is well into the “experts only” zone. The wind is offshore on the 18th afternoon, but the swell is still too big for the break. The morning of the 18th is a 8ft, and the wind is cross-off, but again, it’s too big. This is more of a kite-surfing show than a paddle session.

The tail end of the window, from the 20th to the 22nd, sees the swell drop back down, but the wind is onshore or cross-shore, so the quality is poor.

So, the best of the crop is definitely Sunday the 13th, with clean, long-period swell at Lesconil. The other standout is Tuesday the 15th afternoon, but that’s a bit further out, so the forecast is less certain. Get on it while it’s good.

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.
