Liencres Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's look at what's coming down the pipe at Liencres.

We’ve got a slow start, but hold tight, because there’s a couple of absolute gems in the second week if you can wait. The water temp is about what you’d expect for this time of year, nothing unusual there.

The first real action kicks off Sunday the 13th. Early morning session is your best bet. The swell is a clean 4ft from the NW with a decent 13-second period, packing moderate energy (565). The wind is a light cross-offshore from the east at just 3 mph, so it’s going to be clean with some shape. It's a beginner-friendly break but reasonably consistent, so expect a few others out there. The afternoon gets messy as the wind swings NE and picks up to 12 mph, making it choppy, so bag the morning wave.

Monday the 14th is smaller at 4ft but still offering a clean morning with light cross-off winds. The energy drops to 333, so it’s a leg-burner for smaller boards but still fun for the logs.

Tuesday the 15th and Wednesday the 16th are sloppy. The wind goes onshore, the swell gets mixed up, and on Wednesday the period drops to a short 7 seconds. It’s a write-off for a paddle board - might be worth it for the kites though.

Thursday the 17th sees a bump in size to 6ft from the NW, but the wind is still blowing onshore from the NW at 9 mph. The energy is high (695) but the wind is going to ruin it.

Now for the standouts. The wait is worth it. Saturday the 19th morning is looking prime. The swell jumps to 7ft from the NW with a long 14-second period, and the energy is very strong (1895). The wind is glassy from the east at just 3 mph. This is a big, powerful groundswell with perfect conditions. For experienced surfers only—7ft here is serious. Because the break is exposed and consistent, and the wind is glass, this is the best on offer. Crowds are possible with conditions this good.

Sunday the 20th and Monday the 21st keep the big swell going, 7ft to 8ft from the NNW/NW, still with favorable cross-off winds. The energy is massive (over 2000). Again, this is expert territory. The swell direction matches the optimum, but at this size, it’s not for the faint-hearted.

The pattern eases off from Tuesday the 22nd. The 22nd morning is glassy again with a 6ft NW swell. A great option for strong intermediates.

Wednesday the 23rd sees another glassy morning with a 5ft swell. Very clean, very approachable.

From Thursday the 24th onward, things taper off fast. The swell drops below 3ft and the energy falls away. By Monday the 28th we’re looking at barely 2ft and the forecast is tiny.

So in summary: the first week is average to poor. The standout window is Saturday the 19th through Monday the 21st, with epic, glassy conditions on a big NW groundswell, but only for the experienced crew. The 22nd and 23rd mornings offer clean, smaller options for everyone else.

Rusty, signing off.
