Lesconil Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right then, let's have a look at what Lesconil's got for us. A couple of solid days are on the menu, then things go flat for a long time.

The action starts on Thursday, July 2nd. There's a clean 5ft swell from the WNW, with a 9-second period. The energy is moderate (287), but we’ve got a fresh offshore wind from the NW, so the waves will be smooth and clean. The water is sitting at a warm 67°, which is about 5° warmer than normal for this time of year – a real gift for an early July paddle. This is a solid session.

Friday the 3rd morning is the real prize. Glassy conditions with a 5 mph NE breeze, and a 4ft WNW swell with a 10-second period. The energy climbs to 342. It’ll be clean, lined up, and perfect for a long session before the wind gets going. By Friday afternoon, the WNW wind picks up to 19 mph, and the swell bumps to 5ft with a big energy reading of 832. That's a lot of power, but that strong offshore wind will make it choppy and tricky to ride.

Saturday the 4th starts glassy again with an E breeze and a 3ft W swell at 10 seconds. The energy is 204. It’ll be clean and fun for a learner or a log. The afternoon gets messier with a cross-offshore breeze.

After that, it’s a long, quiet slog. From Sunday the 5th all the way to Thursday the 17th, the swell is tiny. We're looking at waves from 0.7ft to 3ft, with very low energy. Most mornings have messy cross-shore or onshore winds. A few mornings, like Wednesday the 8th, are glassy but only have 2ft of swell – surfable, but nothing to get excited about. The wind does turn offshore again on the 11th and 12th, but the swell is just too small.

For a paddle surfer, it's a two-day window followed by a long dry spell. That 19 mph offshore wind on Friday the 3rd afternoon and Sunday the 12th afternoon might be more interesting if you've got a kite and a big grin.
