Lesconil Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. We’ve got a bit of a mixed bag on the horizon for Lesconil. The first few days look a bit scrappy, but there’s some real potential if you’re willing to wait for the back half of the week.

The week kicks off with some moderate wave energy (910) on Saturday the 5th. Swell is around 6ft from the WNW with a solid 13-second period, but the wind is a cross-on light breeze, making it a bit messy. It’s not the best, but there’s enough there to get wet. The real story starts to build on Monday the 7th. The combined energy jumps to 1127, with a solid 6ft WNW groundswell that has real punch. The wind swings cross-offshore, cleaning things up nicely. This is a good window for the more experienced among you, as that size with a long period will offer some power.

The standout, without a doubt, is Tuesday the 8th afternoon. The swell drops back a touch to 5ft from the WNW, but the wind goes full offshore and the energy is still pumping at 892. The period is a snappy 9 seconds, which keeps the waves a bit more manageable and punchy. This is a high-quality window for Lesconil. The break is a beach and reef, very consistent, and likes a WSW swell direction, so this WNW swell is a little off-angle, but with that offshore wind cleaning it up, the sets will be well-formed and fun. Just be prepared for the crowds, as it’s often busy.

After that, Wednesday the 9th morning still has clean offshore winds, but the swell drops to 3ft (345 energy). It’s still worth a look. Then we hit a bit of a lull from Thursday the 10th through Saturday the 12th, with small, weak swell and poor conditions.

The next real opportunity pops up on Sunday the 13th morning. The swell is a modest 4ft from the WNW, but the wind is *glassy*. Zero wind. That’s a rare treat for Lesconil. The period is 10 seconds, and the energy is low at 237, but for a log or a fun fish, it’ll be clean and user-friendly. A good session for the beginners.

We then go into a long, flat spell. From Monday the 14th all the way through to Saturday the 20th, the swell is tiny or non-existent, with the combined energy barely cracking 200. The wind is mostly onshore or cross-shore, and the conditions are described as poor. The morning of Saturday the 19th offers a little hope with a clean offshore wind and a 3ft swell, but it’s barely surfable. It’s a long wait for nothing.

So, to wrap it up: the clear winner is Tuesday the 8th afternoon. The swell, the wind, and the energy all line up for a proper session. The glassy Sunday the 13th morning is a solid second choice for a clean, cruisy paddle. The rest of the 16-day window is a write-off, so make the most of those two days.

Rusty.
