The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. Rusty here, looking at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks at our little corner of the coast.
First up, we’re looking at a bit of a slow start, so if you’re hanging for a wave, you might need to be patient. The first few days are mostly small and messy, with the Tuesday morning session on the 25th giving us a glassy 2ft NW swell, but it’s pretty weak with only 22 units of energy and the report says poor conditions, so it’s really not worth paddling out for. The wind is light though, so it’s a nice looking ocean when you drive past, but the push just isn't there.
We’ll see a slow build towards the end of the week. Thursday the 27th shows a cleaner, more lined-up 3ft NW swell with a south-southeast cross-off breeze, which improves things for the morning, but it's still not the highlight.
Now, here’s where it starts to get interesting. Friday morning, the 28th of August, is the first standout. We’re looking at a clean, cross-off 5ft NW swell with combined energy climbing to 276 units. The morning is clear, the wind is light from the SSW and it’s a proper *clean* session. This one is definitely worth a dawny. Remember, Liencres here is an exposed NW spot, so it’s going to pick up that swell nicely. The water temperature is sitting at 72°F which is a touch warmer than average for the time of year.
That Friday afternoon though, the wind swings to a fresh onshore NW at 18 mph, and the swell jumps to 7ft. That combo will blow things out, and the chart says poor surf conditions, so if you are out in the morning, be done by lunch.
Saturday morning the 29th gives us another real treat. Glassy conditions and a 5ft NW swell with 325 units of energy. That’s clean, lined-up, and perfect for the spot. The wind is dead calm from the NE, making it glassy. That's the second standout for the near term.
After the weekend, things kind of tail off into smaller, wind-affected waves again, lots of onshore slop and rain in the mix through Monday and Tuesday of the first week of September. Not much to write home about.
Now, looking further ahead, there’s a real beauty lurking in the long-range. Tuesday morning, the 1st of September, offers a clean, cross-off 5ft NW swell with a long 11-second period. The energy is strong at 603 units. The wind is light from the east, keeping it clean. This is a proper groundswell, so the waves will have some shape and power.
And then there’s Tuesday morning, the 8th of September, but this one comes with a big warning. The swell is a massive 8ft from the WNW, with a staggering 1993 units of energy. The wind is light and off the land, so it looks clean, but the report says it’s going to be too big for this break. This is strictly for experts only, and even then, it might be more of a show than a go. The period is 9 seconds for that one, so it’s not a super long period groundswell, but the size is the story.
Overall, the best bets for good, clean, surfable waves for the average punter are Friday the 28th and Saturday the 29th of August, and then a promising but less certain call for Tuesday the 1st of September. The long-range stuff on the 8th is huge but likely unsurfable here. If you’re a seasoned pro, maybe have a look, but for the rest of us, stick to those cleaner mornings earlier on.
Stay stoked, and I’ll see you in the water.
Rusty.

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.
