Liencres Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Liencres. The opening stretch is a bit of a flat spell, so don’t bother waxing up just yet. We’ve got a gap of a few days with nothing worth paddling out for. The first chance of a wave comes on Thursday the 27th in the morning, but it’s small and ordinary.

Alright, let’s get into it. The water temp here is a touch warmer than normal for the time of year, sitting at about 72°.

Thursday morning, the 27th, sees a tiny 3ft swell from the NW with a short period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is weak (74). The wind is light from the SSW, making it clean, but it’s cross-offshore. It’s surfable, but honestly, it’s very ordinary. Not worth getting excited about.

Friday the 28th morning, the swell picks up to 5ft from the NW, period of 8 seconds. The energy jumps to moderate (256). But the wind is light and cross-shore, creating small ripples on the face. It’s marginal. By the afternoon, the wind swings onshore and it’s messy.

Now, Saturday the 29th morning is where we start to see a glimmer. The swell is 4ft from the NW, 8-second period, and the combined energy is moderate (241). The wind goes glassy – dead calm from the ENE. That’s a major positive. The conditions are clean, and it’s good surf. But the swell is still a bit weak for anything special.

Sunday the 30th morning is the first real standout. We’ve got a 4ft NW swell, period stretching to 10 seconds, giving it a bit more shape and energy (334). And the wind is glassy again from the NE. This is a good call. Clean, fun waves for a beginner-friendly spot. Liencres is consistent, but it’s an exposed break, so it catches everything.

The following week, there are a few more glassy mornings. Tuesday the 1st of September morning is another good one: 4ft NW swell, 9-second period, glassy conditions from the NE. The energy is moderate (266). Nice and clean.

Thursday the 3rd of September morning is also tidy: 4ft NW swell, 10-second period, glassy from the WNW. Energy is still moderate (355). These are solid, reliable mornings for a beginner to get some clean waves.

Then we get a big spike on Monday the 7th of September. The morning shows a 7ft NW swell with a very long period of 13 seconds. The combined energy is strong (1446). That’s a lot of power. However, the wind is light and cross-shore. The comment says it’s predicted to be too big for this break. For a beginner spot, this is expert territory. Not for the faint-hearted. The long period will make it wall up, but at a beach break it might be a bit tricky.

After that, Tuesday the 8th and Wednesday the 9th of September mornings settle back to nice, clean 4ft waves with glassy or clean conditions. Good energy behind them (440).

So, the best on offer across the whole 16 days? Sunday the 30th of August morning, with its glassy 4ft NW swell, is a top pick. And Thursday the 3rd of September morning is another beauty. For a more experienced surfer, the big swell on Monday the 7th of September is a monster, but it’s one for experts only.
