Table - best surf conditions forecast for Lesconil over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s happening in our little corner of the coast.
The next 16 days are a bit of a mixed bag. We’ve got a frustratingly quiet start, with a real gap in the action. The first solid surf recommendation doesn't show up until Wednesday 22 July, so you’re looking at over a week of mostly flat or poor conditions before we get a proper window. That’s a long stretch of waiting.
Lesconil (beach and reef) is the only game in town, and it’s not looking great until that final week. The water temp is sitting at 64°, which is bang on average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The first real standout is Wednesday 22 July, morning. The swell bumps up to 4 ft from the WNW with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (255). The wind is light and cross-offshore, almost glassy. That’s the cleanest we’ll see all week. The waves will be long-period groundswell, so it’ll be a bit more lined up and punchy, with longer waits between sets. Solid for a beginner-friendly spot – not too big, not too small. The crowds at Lesconil are often around, so expect a few others in the water.
After that, we get a spike on Thursday 23 July, afternoon with 5 ft from the west, but it’s blown out by a fresh cross-offshore breeze. The combined energy is strong (298), but the quality is poor. That’s one for the experts only – too big for beginners, and the wind will make it messy.
The rest of the period is a write-off. Small swell, wrong wind, or just plain weak energy. The only other wave worth mentioning is Tuesday 21 July, morning – 3 ft from the SW with a 6-second period, gentle offshore wind, and moderate energy (108). It’s surfable but ordinary, a last resort if you’re desperate.
Honestly, if you’re not keen on waiting until the 22nd, you might be better off checking the kite forecast. The beach-and-reef setup with these stiff winds and small to moderate swell looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing during the first week.
Rusty.

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.
