Table - best surf conditions forecast for Liencres over the next 16 days.
The Lowdown
Alright, let’s have a look at what’s shaping up here for Liencres. This is a solid stretch of exposed coastline that picks up a nice NW swell, and for an exposed beach and reef setup, it’s pretty consistent. The water temp is pretty much where you’d expect it for this time of year, nothing out of the ordinary, so you won’t need a thicker suit just yet.
We’ve got a bit of a slow start, but hang tight. The first proper standout comes on Friday morning, August 28. Liencres is showing clean, cross-off wind from the SSE at 6 mph, with a 5ft NW swell at 8 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (216), meaning the waves are certainly rideable, and with that light breeze off the land, the surface is going to be smooth. It’s a good beginner-friendly size, so everyone can get amongst it.
The next real highlight is Saturday morning, August 29. Glassy conditions with the wind swinging ESE at just 3 mph, offshore, and the swell is a touch bigger at 5ft from the NW, period up to 9 seconds. The energy has bumped up to 361 (moderate), and the waves are clean and well-shaped. This is a strong morning for a paddle.
Sunday morning, August 30, is another cracker. We’ve got glassy conditions again, a light NW breeze at 3 mph, and the same 5ft NW swell, but the period is now 10 seconds and the energy jumps to 425 (moderate). These waves will have a bit more push and shape. It’s clean, consistent, and beginner-friendly. This is one of the best sessions on offer.
Monday morning, August 31, also looks good with glassy conditions, WSW wind at 3 mph, and a 5ft NW swell, period 9 seconds, energy 393 (moderate). Another clean morning, easy to get a wave.
Tuesday morning, September 1, stays glassy with WSW wind at 3 mph, but the swell drops slightly to 4ft, period 10 seconds, energy 269 (moderate). Still clean and fun, just a bit smaller.
There’s a bit of a lull from Wednesday afternoon, September 2, through to the end of the first week. The swell drops, and the wind picks up onshore, making conditions less appealing. You’ll see a few waist-high leftovers but nothing to get excited about.
Now, the real standout for the second week, and possibly the best of the whole forecast, is Saturday morning, September 5. This is one to circle. The swell jumps to 4ft, but the period is a long 14 seconds from the NW, and the energy is a strong 817 (strong). Clean cross-off wind from the ENE at 10 mph. These are groundswell waves, longer period, more energy, and better shape. Keep in mind that at a beach break, a long period like this can make the waves a bit more powerful and the sets slower, but for a point or reef setup, it’s mint. For Liencres, it’ll be a fantastic session. The afternoon is bigger at 6ft and 13 seconds, but the wind is stronger (16 mph), so morning is the call.
Sunday morning, September 6, still has a clean 4ft NW swell, 11-second period, energy 364, with cross-off wind. Good, but not as strong as Saturday.
Tuesday morning, September 8, is another clean entry with 4ft from the NNW, 10 seconds, energy 419, and light cross-off wind. A solid session.
After that, the swell fades out again, and winds become more onshore or cross-onshore, making it poor for paddle surfing. The last few days from September 9 to 12 are a write-off for waves.
So, to wrap it up: the best windows are Saturday morning, August 29, Sunday morning, August 30, and Monday morning, August 31, all clean and fun. But the absolute standout is Saturday morning, September 5 – that long period groundswell with clean winds is a promise of something special. Keep an eye on that one, it’s worth a drive.

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.

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.
