The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, pullin’ up a chair and lookin’ at what the next couple of weeks have got in store for us at Liencres.
Right off the bat, we’ve got a slow start. Friday the 28th is a write-off with that choppy cross-onshore wind, so don’t even bother. The real action starts to wake up Saturday morning, the 29th. We’re looking at a clean 5ft swell from the northwest with a period of 9 seconds. The real treat here is the wind – it’s glassy, dead calm. That’s the kind of morning you get your hopes up for. The water is sitting at a balmy 72°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s a bonus.
Now, Sunday the 30th has a little more size, with 5ft of swell from the NW, and the wind is blowing straight offshore. The combined energy is ramping right up to 424 (moderate) and the period’s at 10 seconds. It’s a solid-looking morning, but the notes say it’s marginal – could be a tide thing. Worth a look, though.
Monday the 31st is where it’s at. This is the standout of the first week. We’ve got 5ft of clean NW swell, a long 10-second period, and the wind is glassy again in the morning. The energy reading is a healthy 520 (moderate). That’s proper groundswell with real punch. For a consistent spot like Liencres, which is exposed to that NW direction, this is the session you want. The crowds can get thick here “often,” so get in early for the cleanest sets.
Things settle down after that. Tuesday the 1st has a glassy 4ft in the morning, which is still fun, but the energy drops to 327. By Wednesday the 2nd, we’re down to 3ft and the energy is weak at 82. Honestly, from Wednesday afternoon onwards, through to Saturday the 5th, it’s a real dry spell. The waves get tiny, barely 2ft, and the energy sinks to just 26. That’s a solid few days with nothing to offer a surfer.
We get a little bump back on Sunday the 6th of September. The swell jumps to 4ft with a very long 12-second period, and the energy hits 437. But the wind is a messy cross-onshore, so the quality is poor. That long-period swell needs a point break or a reef to really shine, and with that wind, it’s gonna be a bumpy mess here. The Monday morning after, the 7th, cleans right up with offshore cross-offshore wind, about 4ft of NW swell, and an energy of 248. That’s a good, clean option if you can get out.
The second week trails off pretty quickly. There’s a promising-looking Thursday morning, the 10th, with 3ft of NW swell and clean cross-offshore wind, energy at 202. But the afternoon brings a sloppy 6ft with a short 6-second period – that’s just wind swell, and with onshore wind, it’ll be a closeout mess, only for the brave (or the kites). The following Friday the 11th is just as messy with moderate winds. The final few days, into the 12th, are small and weak again.
Bottom line: The absolute best surf on offer is the glassy Monday morning, the 31st of August. That’s your winner. The Saturday morning, the 29th, is a very close second. After that, you’re picking at leftovers or fighting the wind.
Stay stoked, and don’t sleep on that Monday glass-off.

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.
