The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what's on offer for the coming weeks in our local area.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it's a tough start. For the next ten days or so, we're looking at a real flat spell. From Thursday the 16th of July right through to Monday the 27th, the wave energy is just too weak to bother with. We're talking tiny 1ft to 2ft swells with poor energy readings, and the wind just never seems to line up right. You'll be sitting on your board more than you're riding. Honestly, it's a write-off for a solid week and a half.
Now, hang in there, because things finally start to look interesting towards the back end of the month. The first real glimmer of hope arrives on Tuesday the 28th of July. Early morning we see a jump in size to about 5ft from the SW, but it's a short-period wind swell (6 seconds) and the energy is still moderate. The wind is offshore from the NW, so it'll be clean, but that short period means it's likely to be a bit fat and crumbly. The afternoon gets bigger at around 6ft but the forecast is a bit marginal.
The standout though, and I mean the real standout, is Wednesday the 29th of July. This is the one to circle on your calendar. Early morning we've got nearly 7ft of swell from the west, but here's the kicker – the energy reading is huge, telling you there's some serious power behind it. The wind is glassy, absolutely dead flat from the NNE. It'll be a beautiful morning. Now, that 7ft is getting up there, it's really for experienced surfers only at that size, especially on a beach and reef setup like Lesconil.
Thursday the 30th of July morning is still offering a decent 5ft from the west with light offshore winds, so good clean conditions for the lads who find Wednesday a bit too spicy. Friday the 31st of July morning also looks clean with about 6ft from the west and light offshores. So, while the first week and a half is a total dud, we've got a solid few days of proper surf right at the end of the month. It's a long way out, so don't bank on it, but it's looking promising.
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.
