Liencres Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Liencres.

Honestly, mate, the next couple of weeks are a bit of a mixed bag. We’re looking at a long stretch of small, weak surf with barely any energy to get excited about. The water’s a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 70° – about 3° above average, so it’s pleasant enough for a paddle, but the waves are mostly a no-show.

The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t pop up until Monday, July 27th. That morning, we’ve got a groundswell from the NW with a solid 4ft of swell, a period of 10 seconds, and the combined energy jumps right up to 257 (moderate). The wind is glassy, from the W at just 3 mph, so it’ll be clean. That’s the standout window. Monday morning is the best bet, but keep in mind the afternoon turns onshore, so get in early.

Then Tuesday, July 28th, the swell actually builds. Morning sees 5ft from the NW, energy at 461 (strong), and by the afternoon it’s 6ft with 541 (strong energy). That’s more size, but it’s cross-onshore wind both sessions, and the forecaster is calling it marginal – tide could be a factor, and the wind will put a bit of bump on the face. That size is also pushing into the “too big for beginners” territory, so it’s more for the experienced crew.

Before that, it’s a flat spell. From the 13th of July right through to the 26th, there’s nothing worth paddling out for. The swell is tiny, the period is short, and the energy is in the single digits or low double digits. Even the few glassy mornings only have 0.7ft to 1ft – not enough to push a log. Plenty of clean-looking water, but no surf to speak of.

The standout here is Monday, July 27th, from the morning. Clean, glassy, moderate groundswell, and a decent 4ft. That’s the one to circle. The Tuesday after has more size, but the wind is worse, so the quality drops. If you’re after a clean session, the 27th morning is your best call.

Rusty.
