Liencres Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, surfers, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, I’m lookin’ at a bit of a flat spell to kick things off. We’ve got a long stretch of small, poor-quality surf or just straight-up nothing. From now until the 24th of July, you’re mostly lookin’ at weak, short-period windswell with onshore winds messin’ things up. The waves are tiny, the energy is low, and the conditions are just ugly. It’s a tough run for a paddle.

The first real glimmer of hope doesn’t show up until the morning of the 24th of July. Liencres will see a little bump of 3 ft from the NNW with glassy conditions. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 71°. That’s the first time we see a “surfable” tag, but the energy is still weak (62), so it’s a tiny, clean wave for the beginners. Not a standout, just a sign of life.

The surf starts to build from the 26th of July. The morning of the 27th of July is where things get interesting. The swell jumps to 4 ft from the NNW with a period of 10 seconds, and the combined energy is a solid 418. That’s a proper groundswell with some grunt. The wind is light cross-onshore, which is okay, but not perfect. This is the first real surfable swell of the window, though it’s still only a marginal call.

The real standout, and the best bet of the whole 16-day window, is the morning of the 31st of July. The swell is 4 ft from the NW with a long 11-second period, and the combined energy hits 322. The wind is light and cross-offshore from the ENE, which will make for clean, lined-up waves. This is a proper groundswell, and with that offshore wind, Liencres will be the place to be. It’s a couple of weeks out, so don’t hold me to it, but if it comes together, that’s the session.

Beyond that, the 1st of August morning has a similar 4 ft NW swell at 10 seconds, but with onshore wind, so it’s not as clean.
