Liencres Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here, lookin' at the Liencres forecast for the next couple of weeks. Gotta be honest with you, it's a bit of a mixed bag – a slow start, a couple of heavy hitters, then it fades out again. Let's get into it.

Right off the bat, the first few days are a write-off. The swell is small and messy, and the wind's got that cross-on chop on it. Tuesday the 15th and Wednesday the 16th are poor, with weak waves and wind all wrong. Thursday the 17th is only marginally better, still not a good look. We're pretty much looking at a four-day gap of nothing worth paddling out for.

Now, here's where it gets interesting and a bit wild. Friday the 18th afternoon, we get a massive jump in energy. Liencres is going to see a 8ft swell from the NNW with a very long period of 16 seconds. The combined energy is absolutely pumping at 2708 (moderate wave energy). The problem is the swell is predicted to be too big for this break. It'll be a show for the experts only, and even then, you need to be on your game. A long period groundswell like that will be breaking fast and heavy.

But hold on. Saturday the 19th is the standout. Saturday morning is the real deal. We’ve got a clean 8ft NW swell at a solid 13-second period, with a light ESE cross-offshore wind. The combined energy is very strong at 1811. This is the best on offer – clean, powerful, and the wind is going to make it glassy. Liencres (Spain) is exposed to this NW direction, and the wind is perfect. Just be aware, this is a beginner-friendly spot, and 8ft is pushing into expert territory. The crowds are often here, so get there early.

Sunday the 20th morning cleans up a little, with the swell dropping to a more manageable 5ft from the NW, still a good 11-second period. The light offshore easterly wind (E, 6 mph) will make it clean (combined energy of 602). It’ll be a good, fun day. The water temp is sitting at around 70°, which is about average for the time of year.

Monday the 21st morning keeps that quality going with another 5ft NW swell, and then Tuesday the 22nd morning turns glassy. A 4ft NW swell with zero wind. Absolutely perfect conditions if the swell has a bit of push.

The second week gets quieter. We see a few more glassy mornings on the 23rd and 25th, but the swell drops off to 2ft and 3ft. There’s a hopeful blip on Thursday the 24th morning with a clean 5ft NW swell at 13 seconds (energy of 822), which is a nice option if you're around.

Then it really fades. From the 26th onward, it's mostly small, weak, and poor, with wind getting in the way again. The last shout is on the 30th of September, a Wednesday morning, with a glassy 6ft NW swell at 11 seconds. That’s a promising call out at 15 days, but you know how long-range forecasts can be. Keep an eye on it.

So, to wrap it up: sleep in for a few days, then get ready for a powerful, possibly too-big Saturday the 19th, and a clean Sunday the 20th and Monday the 21st. After that, it’s a pick-and-choose game until a possible glassy day at the end of the month.

Stay stoked.
