Liencres Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s break down the surf outlook for Liencres. This is a consistent, exposed beach break that’s best for beginners, and it’s a spot that’s often crowded. The water temperature is sitting at 71°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.

The first part of the sixteen-day window is a bit of a struggle. We’re looking at Saturday the 5th: morning brings some clouds and a cross-offshore breeze from the east, with 4ft of NW swell, but it’s a marginal call with questionable tide. The afternoon gets windier and bumpier, so not worth rushing out for. Sunday the 6th is a write-off with onshore winds and poor surf. Monday the 7th stays small and messy, and Tuesday the 8th is small and very ordinary, though late Tuesday afternoon we get a brief moment of glassy conditions with a 3ft NW swell (164 energy units), but it’s still just surfable, not special.

Then we get to the real standout. Wednesday morning, the 9th of September. This is the one. Glassy conditions, an offshore wind from the NNW, and a solid 6ft groundswell from the NW with a long period of 13 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 1303, which is strong. This is excellent surf for experienced surfers. The water will be clean, the waves will have some punch. If you can handle it, this is the session to aim for. The afternoon turns a bit bumpy with a cross-shore wind, but the morning is pure gold.

Thursday the 10th is still worth a look: glassy again in the morning with 5ft NW swell, period 11 seconds, and moderate energy (485). Expect good, clean surf, though it won’t be as powerful as Wednesday. The afternoon gets a bit cross-shore and less clean.

After that, we drop off. Friday the 11th and Saturday the 12th are poor or tiny, with onshore winds and minimal swell. Sunday the 13th morning has a glassy window with 4ft NNW swell, which is surfable and clean, but nothing to write home about. The rest of the second week is a mix of small, onshore, and generally poor conditions. Monday the 14th morning has a brief glassy spell with 3ft, and Thursday the 17th morning has a clean but tiny 2ft cross-offshore wave. The last real highlight is Saturday the 19th morning: glassy again, 4ft NW swell, period 12 seconds, and decent energy (333). That’s a clean, fun-sized morning for a longboard or a fish, but the afternoon gets hammered by a strong onshore wind.

So, the one true standout is Wednesday the 9th, especially the morning. It’s the biggest, cleanest, and most powerful window of the whole run. The rest is a mix of small clean windows and a lot of onshore junk. The crowds at Liencres are often there, so expect company on the better days.
