The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you about the surf ahead for Lesconil.
To be honest, the next week and a half is looking pretty flat and average. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak swell that’s just not going to deliver much. The combined wave energy is pathetically low, often in the double digits, and the swell height just isn’t there. The water is a notable 68°F with an anomaly of 5°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’ll be nice for a paddle but not for a proper surf.
The first real highlight comes on Thursday, July 23rd afternoon. The swell picks up a bit from the SSW at 4ft, and the energy jumps to a moderate 224. The wind goes light from the west, making it a clean cross-off, and the surf conditions are actually looking good. This is your best bet for a sneaky session on a longboard, but it’s still not huge.
The biggest swell of the period hits Saturday, July 25th. We’re looking at a solid 8ft from the west on the morning, with a decent 10-second period and a massive 996 energy reading. This is the real deal for size, but here’s the catch: the wind is a light onshore breeze, and the forecast clearly says the swell is too big for this break. This is expert-only territory, and even then, it’s going to be a washing machine. The afternoon is similar, with 7ft and 804 energy, but a cleaner cross-off wind. Sunday, July 27th repeats the pattern with a 7ft west swell, again called too big, but with clean offshore winds in the morning. If you’re a seasoned charger and know the inside-out of Lesconil, those are the only windows, but it’s a serious warning.
For the rest of the time, it’s a mix of choppy, small, and wind-affected waves. The consistent but small NW swell on the 28th and 29th will offer clean, offshore conditions at times, but the waves are only around 5ft to 6ft and the energy is moderate. It’s better than nothing, but don’t expect a classic.
Overall, the standout is the Thursday, July 23rd afternoon for the clean, manageable conditions. The bigger weekend swells are too meaty for this spot, so be careful.
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.

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.
