The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here, looking over the Liencres stretch for the next couple of weeks. It’s a mixed bag, but we’ve got a couple of moments that are gonna make it worth keeping an eye on the ocean.
Right off the bat, things are pretty lackluster. We’ve got a few small, choppy days to start with, so don’t expect much. The water is sitting at a pleasant 72.7°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s a bonus if you’re just going for a paddle.
Saturday the 22nd is a write-off with cross-off winds and messy, small waves. Sunday the 23rd morning sees a tiny 2.3ft swell from the NE (period 6 seconds) with glassy conditions, so at least the ocean will look smooth, even if there’s barely any energy to ride. The combined energy is only 77, so it's a weak pulse.
We hit a real slow patch from Monday the 24th right through Thursday the 27th morning. I’m talking days of tiny, weak surf with nothing to recommend. It’s a proper blank run, which isn't unusual for this area when the winds swing around like they are.
Thursday the 27th does see a jump in size, with a 5.6ft to 5.9ft WNW swell arriving, but the onshore wind is nasty and it’s chopped to bits (combined energy hitting 472-552). Not one for the log.
Now, the real standout is shaping up. Saturday the 29th morning is the pick of the forecast. You’ll want to be at Liencres for this one. We’ve got a solid 5.2ft NW groundswell, period of 10 seconds, and the wind is looking clean from the east, cross-off, with a slight air. That’s going to give us clean, lined-up waves. The combined energy is a healthy 930, so there’s some real punch behind it. This is an exposed, consistent spot that works well with a NW swell, and with the offshore wind, it should be great for all levels. It’s just about the only real winner in the whole run.
Sunday the 30th morning will also have some fun, glassy 4.3ft waves (period 9 seconds, energy 306), but it won’t have the same quality as Saturday.
After that, it’s back to waiting. There’s a massive spike of energy on Thursday the 3rd of September, with a 7.2ft to 7.5ft NW groundswell with a very long period of 13 seconds (energy over 1400). But I have to be honest, the wind is onshore and it's simply too much swell for Liencres. That much power, over 7ft, is big-wave territory for this spot, and it’s really only going to be for the experts, and even then, the cross-onshore wind will likely make it a messy beast. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing on those big days.
So there you have it. A lean couple of weeks with one clear, beautiful morning on the 29th of August. Don’t miss it.

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.
