The Lowdown
Alright, let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks here at Lesconil. It’s pretty quiet for a while, but there’s a big pulse of energy coming in the second week that could be a proper treat.
First up, nothing much happening from Monday the 27th of July right through until the end of the first week. The swell is tiny, mostly around 1ft to 3ft, with weak wave energy (values between 29 and 101). The period is short, mostly 7 to 9 seconds, and the winds are all over the place – offshore at times, but the swell just isn’t there to back it up. The water temperature is sitting at 68°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’s pleasant enough to sit in the water, but there’s nothing to ride. You’ll be looking at a blank run for the best part of a week.
Now, the real story kicks off on Sunday the 9th of August. The morning brings a building swell from the west at 5ft, with a period of 8 seconds and moderate combined energy of 494. The wind is a gentle cross-offshore breeze from the WSW, and the surf is clean. It’s not a huge standout, but it’s the first sign of life. The afternoon, though, is where it gets interesting – the swell jumps to 7ft from the WSW, with energy climbing to 725. The wind is still a moderate cross-offshore, and the waves are clean, but that swell is getting a bit too big for this break, so it’s more for experienced surfers.
Monday the 10th of August is the real standout. The morning session delivers a solid 6ft west swell with a period of 11 seconds, giving it that long-period groundswell feel. The combined energy is 899 – moderate to strong – and the wind is a moderate offshore from the WNW, making for clean, lined-up waves. This is a fantastic window for Lesconil, especially for the points and reefs where that longer period will really shine. The afternoon gets bigger again, hitting 8ft from the west, but with energy up to 1352 and a fresh offshore wind, it’s going to be powerful and critical – only for the experts.
Tuesday the 11th of August keeps the energy high. The morning offers a 8ft west swell, period 10 seconds, and a massive energy reading of 1639. The wind is a gentle offshore from the NNW, so the conditions are glassy and clean. Again, that’s expert territory. The afternoon drops back to 5ft, still with a fresh offshore wind, and energy of 796 – still very surfable but with a bit less grunt.
So, the pick of the whole forecast is the Monday morning of the 10th of August. That 6ft west swell with a 11-second period, clean offshore wind, and moderate energy should offer some of the best shaped waves of the window. If you’re a more experienced surfer, the Tuesday morning of the 11th is also a prime session, but it’s big and intense. Keep in mind, the long-period swell (11 seconds) will be best at the reef and point setups around Lesconil, where the waves will hold their shape better than on the beach.
Crowds are likely here, especially when the quality picks up, so get out early.

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.
