Lesconil Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Lesconil. I’ll be straight with you – it’s a pretty quiet stretch ahead, so don’t go clearing your calendar just yet.

We kick off on Monday, 3rd August with a tiny little pulse. The swell is only 2ft from the W with a short 8-second period, so the energy is weak (78). Winds are light and cross-off though, making it clean for a beginner session. The water is sitting at 66°, which is about average for this time of year. It’s surfable, but nothing to write home about.

Tuesday the 4th sees a bump in size – 4ft from the WSW, period still short at 8 seconds, and the energy picks up to moderate (202). But the wind swings SW at 15 mph, putting a cross-chop on it. The afternoon is a bit cleaner with cross-off winds, but the swell drops to 4ft. The conditions are poor overall, so I’d say give it a miss.

Wednesday the 5th has the biggest swell of the whole outlook – 5ft from the W, period still short at 8 seconds, and energy is moderate (339). The wind is cross-off at 12-15 mph, so it’s clean. But the wave comment says it’s marginal, and with that short period, it’s going to be a bit messy. For the more experienced surfers, it might be worth a look, but beginners should sit this one out as it’s pushing over 5ft.

Thursday morning the 6th offers a glimmer of hope. The swell is 3ft from the WNW with a gentle offshore wind from the NW, so it’s clean. Energy is moderate (125). It’s surfable but ordinary – a 1 out of 10 on the score. The afternoon gets cross-off again, so the window is narrow.

From Friday the 7th all the way through to the end of the 16-day window, it’s pretty grim. The swell drops to under 3ft, often below 2ft, with periods as short as 4 seconds. The wind is often offshore or cross-off, keeping the surface clean, but there’s just no wave energy to work with. The energy values are all two-digit numbers (12 to 94), confirming it’s weak. There’s a long gap of poor surf from around Friday morning through to the end, with no real standout session.

The best call in the whole period? That early Wednesday morning on the 5th of August. The swell is the biggest, the wind is cross-off, and it’s as clean as it gets. But don’t get your hopes up – it’s marginal at best. Otherwise, Lesconil is going to be flat and quiet for the foreseeable future. Forecasts can change, but this one’s a tough pill to swallow.

Rusty.
