Liencres Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Liencres over the next couple of weeks. Gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch. The swell is tiny for the first week, and the winds are mostly onshore or cross-onshore, making a mess of things. We’re looking at a long, quiet period before anything really gets going.

The week starts off flat and poor. Monday the 6th through to Thursday the 10th of July is a write-off. We’re talking wave heights of just 0.7ft to 2ft, mostly onshore winds, and the combined swell energy is weak, hanging around the 24 to 74 mark. The water temperature is sitting at a very unusual 71°, which is over 5° warmer than normal for this time of year – a real standout. But with no surf, it’s not much help.

Saturday the 11th of July morning offers a glimmer. Swell bumps to 2ft from the NW with a period of 11 seconds, and a cross-offshore breeze. The energy climbs to a moderate 110, and it’s looking clean. This is about the best we get for a while, but it’s still just marginal – surfable but ordinary.

Then we hit another dry spell. From Sunday the 12th right through to Saturday the 18th of July, it’s more of the same: small, messy, and poor. Heights stay below 3ft, winds are generally onshore, and the energy dips back down into the teens and twenties. Nothing to get excited about.

Finally, things show a pulse of life towards the end of the outlook. Sunday the 19th of July morning is the standout. The swell picks up to 4ft from the NW with an 8-second period, and the wind goes glassy – dead calm. That’s a huge positive for clean conditions. The combined energy jumps to a solid 163, moderate but noticeable. This is the best session on offer, but it’s still a full week and a half away, so keep your expectations in check.

Monday the 20th morning stays surfable with a cross-offshore breeze and similar 4ft swell, but the wind is a bit stronger. After that, Tuesday the 21st sees a jump in size – 5ft from the NW with an 11-second period, and the energy rockets to 524, which is strong. But the wind is onshore, so it’ll be choppy and probably not the cleanest. Could be one for the more experienced crew if you’re desperate for a wave, but the quality won’t be there.

Overall, this is a lean period for Liencres. Best chance for a clean wave is the glassy Sunday morning on the 19th, and maybe the Monday morning after that. The rest is a waiting game. Hang in there.

Rusty.
