The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Lesconil's got cookin' for us over the next couple of weeks.
The opening is a bit of a slow burn. We're looking at Thursday the 3rd and Friday the 4th with small, weak 4ft swell from the west. The combined energy is low at around 309, and with a cross-offshore wind, it'll be clean but pretty gutless. The water’s sitting at 65°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so nothing weird there. You could probably get wet, but it's more of a longboard cruise than anything to get excited about.
Saturday the 5th sees a pulse of longer-period groundswell rolling in, 5ft to 6ft from the WNW with a period of 12 seconds. The energy jumps up to 841, which is a nice kick. The wind is light cross-onshore, so it'll be a bit bumpy, but that longer period means there's some actual push behind the waves. Not a standout, but a definite step up from what we've seen.
Then we hit a flat spot. Sunday the 6th is a write-off with weak, short-period dribble and poor wind. Monday and Tuesday morning the 7th and 8th are the real winners here, no doubt about it. The swell builds, hitting 7ft on Monday afternoon and 7ft early Tuesday from the WNW, with combined energy screaming into the 1000s. More importantly, the wind goes clean offshore from the NW both days. That's the ticket. The Monday session is rated excellent for experienced surfers, and Tuesday morning's early call has pure, lined-up, offshore perfection. This is the standout window. Keep in mind, though, with a 7ft swell and up to 19 mph fresh offshore, the beach-and-reef setup at Lesconil will be firing, but it’s strictly for the crew with some skill; this is expert territory.
The rest of the run is a bit of a mixed bag. There are glimmers of hope, like Thursday the 10th morning with another 6ft pulse and offshore wind, and the following Monday the 14th is clean and rideable at 4ft. But a lot of the second week is plagued by onshore breezes and dropping swell size, making for average conditions. The 17th and 18th of September fade out with small, weak swell and strong winds, not worth paddling out for.
So, to boil it down: the window from Monday the 7th through Tuesday morning the 8th is the time. That’s the one to circle on the calendar.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
