The Lowdown
Alright, let’s be real. The next week and a half is a bit of a waiting game for Liencres. We’ve got a lot of small, weak swell and the wind just isn’t playing nice for the most part. The first real look at anything with a pulse is around Thursday the 6th, but even then, it’s pretty average. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, so no surprises there.
The real story, the one that’s got me a little fired up, is that first proper window of clean surf arrives on Sunday morning, August 16th. The wind is forecast to be glassy, and we’re looking at chest to head-high swell from the NW, with a period of 10 seconds. The energy is starting to build (332) compared to the dribble we’ve been seeing. It’s not a monster, but it’s the first time the conditions and swell actually line up. It’s a proper surf, not just a paddle.
After that little tease, the ocean really wakes up. The standout, the one you should be circling on your calendar, is Tuesday morning, August 18th. The forecast is showing a serious pulse of NW groundswell, 8ft, with a solid 9-second period. The energy reading is massive (845). That’s a powerful, heavy swell. The wind is forecast to be glassy, which is a huge green light. But, and this is a big but, this is over 8ft, so we’re talking expert-only territory. It’s going to be a proper, challenging day at Liencres. This is the one that’ll get the heart rate up.
The following morning, Wednesday the 19th, still has a big swell (7ft) but the wind turns a bit cross-on and the energy drops off (806). It's still a solid day, but the Tuesday morning is the clear winner. The period for this whole run is around 9-10 seconds, which is decent, not overly long, so it should still have some shape to it.
Outside of that, the days are mostly a write-off. There’s a lot of small, weak, and chopped-up surf. The first week is mostly poor, with a few days of “surfable but very ordinary” conditions. Just keep an eye on the long-range charts, because that Tuesday looks like a proper session for the crew who know what they’re doing.

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.
