The Lowdown

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for our little corner of the coast.

The next couple of days are a bit of a slow burn, but don’t write it off just yet. We’ve got a solid run of waves building through the middle of next week, and a proper standout session shaping up that’ll have the early birds grinning.

Saturday afternoon (Sep 12) kicks things off with a small but clean 3.6ft swell from the west, period a short 8 seconds. It’s cross-offshore with a gentle breeze, so the surface will be tidy. The combined energy is moderate at 284 – not powerful, but a fun little warm-up for the weekend. The water’s sitting at 64.9°, which is bang on average for this time of year.

Sunday morning (Sep 13) is where it perks up. We’ve got a 4.6ft groundswell from the west-northwest, a much nicer 11-second period, and the wind drops to glassy. That’s a magic combo. The energy jumps to a solid 431 (moderate). This is probably the pick of the first few days – clean, punchy lines at Lesconil (beach and reef). The crowds can be a thing here, but with these conditions, you’ll be sharing the peak with a few mates. The afternoon stays clean but the wind picks up to a cross-off, and the score drops a notch – still surfable but not as perfect.

Monday (Sep 14) is a write-off. Onshore wind, poor conditions, tiny 3ft swell. Skip it.

Tuesday morning (Sep 15) brings a tiny 2ft swell from the west, but with a clean offshore wind. Combined energy is weak at 107. It’s surfable if you’re desperate, but it’s ordinary. The afternoon goes feral with a 35 km/h offshore wind and a 3ft swell – too much wind for the size, even though it’s offshore.

Wednesday (Sep 16) is a big step up. 5.9ft to 6.2ft from the west-northwest, periods around 9 to 10 seconds. Energy jumps to moderate-strong (510 to 761). The wind is offshore and cross-offshore, so it’ll be clean. This is chest to head-high and lined up. However, the comments say marginal conditions due to tide – so check the local bank. This is one for experienced surfers.

Thursday (Sep 17) stays in the same range with 5.2ft sets and offshore wind, but energy drops a bit (512). Still a worthwhile paddle.

Now, here’s the real standout: Friday morning (Sep 18). This is the one. A 3.6ft swell from the west, but with a *16-second period*. That’s a long-period groundswell rolling in with serious energy – 1083, which is strong. Combined with a gentle cross-offshore breeze, this is going to produce beautiful, lined-up waves. At Lesconil’s beach and reef setup, those long-period swells will wrap in nicely. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers – not too big, but powerful. The morning is the moment.

Friday afternoon is still good but bumpier with a 6.6ft swell and 14-second period. Energy is high at 1482, but the wind is a moderate cross-off. Still plenty of juice.

Saturday (Sep 19) gets messy. Strong cross-shore wind in the morning makes it a write-off. The afternoon cleans up with a strong offshore wind, but 40 km/h winds with 5.6ft swell make it hard to paddle into – one for the kite crew or the very committed.

Sunday (Sep 20) has fresh offshore wind all day, with swells from 4.9ft to 6.6ft. The afternoon sees a 6.6ft, 15-second period swell with energy at 1902 – very strong. Waves will be powerful and clean, but that long period will make it dumpy on the beach. Reef and point picks will be better.

Monday (Sep 21) – this is a big one. 7.9ft to 8.2ft from the west-northwest, 13-14 second periods. Energy is massive – over 2000. The wind is a moderate cross-offshore, and the forecast says the swell is too big for this break. That’s expert-only territory, and even then, it’s pushing the limit. If you’re not a charger, stay on the sand.

Tuesday (Sep 22) is another absolute gem. The morning has a 6.2ft groundswell from the west-northwest

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.
