The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk Liencres in feet and miles. Rusty here.
Water temp is about 73°, which is a touch warmer than what’s normal for this time of year—so you’ll be fine in a spring suit or a shorty if you’re feeling it.
The start is a bit slow. Friday the 21st has a 6-foot NW swell with a 10-second period, but the wind is blowing from the WNW at 9 mph, putting it onshore. The energy is moderate (647), but it’s messy. Saturday the 22nd morning is the first real window. The swell drops to 4 feet from the NW, and the wind switches to the east at 9 mph, giving us a clean cross-offshore breeze. The energy is weak (212), but it’s rideable and clean. This break is consistent and exposed, and crowds are “often,” so expect to share the water. This is the best option of the early days.
Saturday afternoon gets too windy—18 mph from the ENE—so that’s a no-go. Sunday the 23rd is tiny and weak, with a 2-foot swell from the NNW and a short 7-second period. There’s a lull through Monday and Tuesday, with tiny waves and glassy conditions but not enough to surf.
Thursday the 27th brings a big 7 to 8-foot WNW swell, but it’s paired with thunderstorms and strong onshore winds (22 mph). That’s a big, chunky mess—more for the kite guys than paddle surfers. The energy is strong (635 to 924), but the quality is poor.
Friday the 28th morning is the real standout. The swell is 6 feet from the NW, with a 9-second period, and the wind is glassy—calm from the WSW. The energy is strong (516), and the forecast says “expect very good surf conditions.” This is the cleanest, punchiest session of the whole outlook. The size is a bit much for beginners, but it’s still manageable.
Saturday the 29th and Sunday the 30th mornings are decent, with 6 feet and 4 feet respectively, but the wind is cross-onshore, so not as clean. Monday the 31st morning is glassy again with a 4-foot NW swell, offering another good window.
Looking further out, Wednesday the 3rd of September morning brings a solid 6-foot NW swell with glassy conditions—strong energy (426)—and Thursday the 4th and Friday the 5th mornings also look clean with 5-foot and 4-foot swells, respectively. Those are promising but still a week and a half away, so don’t lock in your plans yet.
Overall, the best bet is Friday the 28th morning, with Saturday the 22nd morning as a solid secondary option. There’s a gap of a few days in the middle where the surf is too small or too windy, but that’s normal for this spot. The second week has some nice glassy windows, but it’s a bit further out, so keep your fingers crossed.
Rusty out.

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.
