The Lowdown
G’day, Rusty here. Let’s run through what Liencres has on offer for the next couple weeks. First week is slow to start, with a few gaps of flat or poor surf, but there are a couple of magic windows later on.
We open Monday 31 August with a 1.8m (6 ft) NW swell, but a cross-on north wind at 10 km/h and combined energy of 659 (moderate to strong) – it’s messy, marginal. Skip it.
Tuesday 1 September early morning brings a 1.3m (4 ft) NW swell and glassy ENE wind at just 5 km/h. That’s clean as a whistle. Combined energy 318 (moderate). Not huge, but silky smooth for beginners. Water temp is 22° (71°F), a touch warmer than usual for this time of year.
From Wednesday 2 September through Friday 4 September, it’s tiny – swell drops to 0.6m (2 ft) and then 0.4m (1 ft), weak energy (34 to 67), with onshore winds. Three days of nothing.
Saturday 5 September mornings – now we’re talking. 1.3m (4 ft) NW swell, clean cross-off ENE wind at 15 km/h, combined energy 906 (strong). That 14-second period means well-shaped, powerful sets that are spaced out – easier paddling. This is the standout for the first week. The afternoon pushes 1.6m (5 ft) but wind jumps to 25 km/h, so get in early.
Sunday 6 September and Monday 7 September drop back to marginal or poor – onshore, choppy. Another quiet stretch.
Tuesday 8 September morning goes glassy with a small 0.7m (2 ft) WNW swell, period 11 seconds, energy 127 (weak). Surfable but nothing special. Wednesday 9 September same story – tiny glassy waves.
Now the big one: Thursday 10 September morning. 1.8m (6 ft) NW swell, combined energy 510 (moderate to strong), and glassy NE wind at just 5 km/h. That’s clean head-high surf – the best on offer. The afternoon is 2.1m (7 ft) NW, which is expert territory and flagged as too big for this break.
Friday 11 September through Sunday 13 September is small to mediocre (0.6m to 1.1m / 2 ft to 4 ft) with mixed winds.
Monday 14 September is mostly flat.
Then Tuesday 15 September mornings deliver again: 1.8m (6 ft) NW swell, combined energy 971 (strong), light cross-on west wind at 10 km/h. Not perfectly clean, but powerful. The afternoon hits 1.9m (6 ft) and 1031 energy (very strong) – a promising late option, about a week and a half out, so keep tabs on it.
Crowds at Liencres are often around when it’s good, so expect company.
Standouts: Tuesday 1 September morning for small, glassy beginner-friendly waves, and Thursday 10 September morning for clean head-high juice with that glassy wind.
Rusty.

Information about the Liencres Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Liencres provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Liencres can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Liencres 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 (Liencres) 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 Liencres 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.
Liencres is 8 km (5 miles) from Camargo. If you plan a holiday in Spain - Cantabria, look for hotels and other accommodation in Camargo. Camargo has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
