Liencres Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Liencres over the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, I gotta be honest with you – it’s a pretty grim run. The first week and a half is almost a total write-off for any kind of decent surf. We’re looking at a big gap of little to no action. There’s a tiny pulse on Saturday morning, the 1st of August, with some 2ft swell from the NNW, but it’s paired with a cross-offshore wind and weak energy (70). It’s surfable, but very ordinary. After that, it’s a real flat spell. The wind is mostly onshore, cross-shore, or just plain messy, and the swell heights barely tickle 2ft for days. The water temp is sitting at 72°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.

We finally get a glimmer of hope on Sunday morning, the 9th of August. That’s when the charts start showing some life. The wind goes glassy, calm, and the swell bumps up to 4ft from the NW with a period of 8 seconds. The combined energy hits 210, which is a solid moderate pulse. This is the standout of the whole forecast period. Liencres is an exposed, consistent spot, and with the wind dead calm and the swell direction coming from the NW (which is its optimum), this is the one to aim for. It’s not a giant, but it’s got enough push to be fun. Expect good conditions, but keep in mind Liencres can get crowded often, so get in early.

After that Sunday morning window, the wind swings around and the quality drops off again. The 16th of August, a Sunday, shows a bit more size – 4ft from the NNW again – but the wind is cross-onshore, so it’s gonna be choppy and messy. The energy is strong (230), but the conditions just won’t be there to make it enjoyable.

So, to sum it up: if you’re a beginner, almost everything is small enough to manage, but the wind is awful. The only real stand-out is Sunday morning, the 9th. That’s the one to circle on the calendar. For the rest, it’s a waiting game.

Rusty.
