Lesconil Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here, let's talk about what's brewing for our little corner of the coast. We've got a bit of a mixed bag coming our way over the next couple of weeks, so let's get into it.

The first few days are a write-off, I'm afraid. Sunday the 6th is a no-go with a messy cross-onshore breeze and poor conditions. You can leave the boards in the shed.

Things start to look up on Monday the 7th. We've got a solid pulse of swell building, around 6ft to 6ft from the west, and the wind is clean and cross-offshore. The combined energy is strong, sitting at around 1030-1065. It's a bit on the bigger side for beginners, but for the rest of us, it's looking fun. Tuesday the 8th morning is the real standout early in the period though. Lesconil is going to be absolutely glassy with light winds and a clean 5ft west swell. The energy is still moderate at 514, but that glassy surface will make for some silky smooth rides. If you can get out there Tuesday morning, do it.

We get another window Wednesday the 9th morning with a clean 6ft swell from the WNW and a moderate offshore breeze. The energy is strong at 882. It's a similar story to Monday but with a bit more push. After that, things get a little messy again with onshore winds and choppy conditions through to the weekend. There's a few small clean windows, like Saturday the 12th afternoon with a very long period 15-second swell, but it's only 1ft, so not much to work with. That long period would be better at a point break or reef, but here at Lesconil's beach and reef setup, it might be a bit too straight.

The second week has some promise, but it's a bit more of a long-range tease. The middle of the week from the 16th and 17th has strong offshore winds with some decent 5ft to 5ft WNW swells. The energy is building, and conditions look clean. The best of the second week looks like it could be Friday the 18th. The morning has a 8ft WNW swell with a gentle offshore breeze and very strong combined energy at 2148, but the data flags it as potentially too big for the break, so that's for experienced surfers only. The afternoon settles down to a more manageable 6ft with moderate offshore winds and strong energy at 827. That's the one to circle on the calendar, but remember, it's a long way out, so keep an eye on it.

Lesconil is an exposed spot that handles a WSW swell best, and the water temp is sitting at 66°, which is pretty normal for this time of year. The crowds can be an issue here, so keep that in mind, especially on the better days.

That's the long and short of it. The Tuesday morning glass-off and the potential Friday the 18th afternoon are the picks of the fortnight.

Rusty.
