Liencres Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for our local stretch.

The first good news is we’ve got a solid pulse of swell arriving right away. The standout session is Sunday morning, the 6th at Liencres. We’re looking at a clean 5 feet of NW groundswell, with a period of 11 seconds pumping in. The wind is glassy from the west, so the ocean will be smooth as a mirror. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 71°. The combined energy is well up there at 578, so there’s plenty of push. This is the pick of the bunch – a real treat for a Sunday morning.

After that, the surf drops off. Monday the 7th has a tiny 2 feet swell in the morning with glassy conditions, but it’s weak. Tuesday is a write-off with onshore winds. Wednesday the 9th actually sees a jump in size to 6 feet of NW swell, but the wind is onshore and the period is a short, jumbly 8 seconds. The combined energy is 443, but it’s messy. That’s more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle session.

The next real window of opportunity is Thursday morning, the 10th. Swell is 5 feet from the NW, 10-second period, with a light cross-offshore breeze from the south. The ocean will be clean. It’s a solid option, but not as good as that Sunday glass-off.

We then hit a long dry spell. From Friday the 11th right through to Saturday the 19th, the swell is mostly below 3 feet, and the conditions are ordinary. There are a few moments of glassy water, like Friday the 11th afternoon and later, but the waves are tiny and weak. The combined energy drops to two-digit figures, barely a ripple.

The forecast starts to look interesting again towards the end of the window. Thursday morning, the 17th offers a 4 feet NW swell, zero wind, glassy conditions and a combined energy of 385. That’s a late highlight, but being 11 days out, it’s a promising one to keep an eye on.

So, in summary: This Sunday morning is the absolute best of the 16 days. Get in the water early. After that, it’s mostly small and weak until the middle of the second week, where a clean, glassy day might just pop up.

Rusty.
