The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s look at what the next couple of weeks are shaping up like for our local stretch.
Gonna be a bit of a slow start, I won’t lie. The first few days are looking pretty ordinary with some weak, short-period windswell and tricky cross-shore breezes. The energy is just not there for the first week, with combined energy readings struggling to get past 272 (moderate at best) and often dropping below 100 (weak). The water is sitting at 73°F, which is a solid 5°F warmer than usual for this time of year – you’ll notice that as soon as you get in. It’s actually *much warmer than normal* right now.
We finally get a bit of a pulse around the 27th of July – Monday morning sees a jump in energy to 450 (moderate) with a 4ft swell from the NNW, but the wind is onshore and it’s coming with rain, so the quality is still poor. The afternoon on the 27th is similar, just a touch bigger at 5ft, but still onshore wind.
The real standout window opens up on the morning of Tuesday, 29 July. That morning at Liencres is your best bet across the whole forecast. The swell is a clean 4ft from the NW with a solid 10-second period, giving it some proper push. Combined energy is a decent 360 (moderate). The wind is a light cross-offshore breeze from the NE, which is going to groom those faces nicely. Conditions are expected to be good. This is a beginner-friendly spot and it’s *consistent*, so the waves will be rolling through. The only downside is that it’s *often* crowded, so get out there early.
Another morning to circle is Friday, 31 July. The swell drops a little to 4ft from the NNW, but the period is still a solid 9 seconds, and combined energy sits at 288 (moderate). The wind is light cross-offshore (ENE) again, promising clean, lined-up waves. Good surf conditions are expected here too. Again, expect it to be busy.
For the rest of the first week of August, the swell hangs around the 3ft to 4ft mark, but the wind is mostly onshore or cross-onshore, keeping things messy. There’s a chance on the morning of Monday, 3 August where the wind goes totally glassy, but the swell is only 4ft from the NW with a shorter 8-second period, making it very ordinary.
So, to wrap it up: the first week is a write-off for quality surf. The last few days of July and the very start of August offer a couple of clean windows, but only the morning of 29 July and the morning of 31 July are truly worth paddling out for. Keep an eye on the forecast, because these windows can change.
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.
