Liencres Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for Liencres over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, the first few days are a bit of a write-off. We’ve got a bit of a flat spell to start, with the first real reason to grab a board coming on the morning of the 5th. Before that, it’s tiny, choppy, and cross-shore – not worth the paddle.

The 5th Saturday morning sees a pulse of long-period groundswell, 2.6 ft from the NW with a 12-second period. The combined energy is moderate (191), and the ENE wind is light, keeping it clean. It’s a small start, but the period is long, so it’ll have some push. For the afternoon, the swell picks up to 3.3 ft, but the wind swings NE and gets a bit stronger, so the morning is the better session.

Now, Sunday the 6th is where it gets interesting. The morning is shaping up to be a standout. We’re looking at 4.6 ft of NW swell, with a 12-second period, and the combined energy jumps to 512 (moderate). The wind is a light, clean offshore from the east. This is going to be the best of the run. The afternoon stays clean too, with glassy conditions and a 3.9 ft NW swell. Beautiful.

Liencres on the 6th is the pick. Expect clean, lined-up waves with that longer period. It’s an exposed spot, so it’ll be handling that energy well. The water temp is 70.9°, which is about normal for this time of year, so a spring suit is fine.

Monday the 7th slips back into poor conditions with cross-onshore wind, but Tuesday the 8th morning brings a window of opportunity. Glassy conditions with a 3.6 ft NW swell, period of 10 seconds, and energy at 234 (moderate). It’s a clean, small morning session. The afternoon turns onshore, so get it early.

The 9th Wednesday sees a bigger push of swell, 6.2 ft from the NNW with a 11-second period. The energy is strong (834). However, the wind is cross-onshore, so it will be a bit messy and choppy. This is more for the experienced crew who can handle the size and less-than-ideal surface. The afternoon drops to 4.9 ft, still decent size, but also onshore.

Thursday the 10th morning is a hidden gem. Glassy, calm conditions with 3.9 ft of NW swell (268 energy). That’s a very clean window for the size.

After that, the second week gets a bit ragged. The 14th Monday afternoon is a good call – 4.6 ft of NW swell, period of 7 seconds, with a clean cross-off breeze from the east. Energy is moderate (219). It’s a solid afternoon session.

The 15th Tuesday afternoon sees a big jump in period to 12 seconds, and a 4.9 ft NW swell, with energy hitting 843. But the wind is directly onshore, so it’s going to be a bumpy, blown-out affair. Only for the keen.

The very last day, the 16th Wednesday afternoon, wraps things up with a glassy, clean 3.0 ft NW swell. It’s a tiny, clean finisher.

So, to sum it up: the standout is clearly the morning of Sunday the 6th. Get on it. The mornings of the 8th and 10th are also solid, clean options. The 14th afternoon is a good one for the second week. The bigger days on the 9th and 15th are for the experts only, and the wind will be a challenge.

Stay stoked.
