The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. The next couple of weeks are looking pretty flat and grim for Liencres. We’ve got a real run of small, weak, and messy surf ahead, and honestly, there’s not a whole lot to get excited about for a while. The good news is it won't be like this forever, but you’ll need some patience.

The first real chance of anything rideable doesn’t even show up until Thursday the 11th. Before that, we’ve got a stretch of tiny waves, mostly under 3ft, with poor conditions and a lot of cross-onshore wind. The energy in the water is weak, with values in the 20s and 30s, so it’s just not doing anything. Wednesday the 5th and Thursday the 6th are write-offs, with poor surf and light, messy winds. Friday the 7th morning is a bit cleaner with an ENE cross-offshore breeze, but the swell is only 2ft with a weak 42 units of energy. It’s just not worth paddling out for.

The weekend and early next week stay poor. The swell tries to pick up a touch on Monday the 10th afternoon, with a 2ft NW swell at 12 seconds, but the conditions are still poor and the wind is onshore. Tuesday the 11th morning is the first glimmer of hope: we see a 3ft NNW swell at 10 seconds, with a light ENE cross-offshore breeze making things clean. The energy is moderate at 166. It’s still not big, but it’s the best we’ve seen in days. Still, the guidance says it’s only "surfable but very ordinary", so don’t expect much.

Then it’s another dry spell. From Wednesday the 12th through Sunday the 16th, the swell stays small and the wind is mostly cross-onshore, so the surf quality remains poor. We’re looking at a lot of 1ft to 3ft waves with a lot of chop. The energy levels are mostly weak to moderate, with a couple of bumps to 170 and 218 on Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th, but the wind is just ruining any potential.

The real standout, and the only one worth circling on your calendar, is Wednesday the 19th. We’ve got a solid push of new energy arriving. The swell jumps to 4ft in the morning and 5ft in the afternoon, coming from the NW with a period of 11 seconds. The energy readings are strong, hitting 320 in the morning and 456 in the afternoon. That’s the most powerful surf we’ve seen in the whole forecast. The wind is light and cross-onshore, so it might be a bit lumpy, but this is the one to watch for. This is over 4ft, so it’s getting a bit big for beginners, but still manageable for most. The longish 11-second period will give it some push, and it should be the best waves of the period.

The morning of Thursday the 20th also looks interesting. The swell drops back to 4ft, but the wind is glassy from the ENE. That’s a major positive for clean conditions. It’s not going to be as powerful, with energy at 172, but if you can get out there early, it could be a fun, clean session on the smaller waves.

So, overall, it’s a long, slow grind until Wednesday the 19th. That’s your one true standout for the next two weeks—a couple of days of real, rideable swell with decent energy after a lot of nothing. The long-range call is promising, but less certain, so keep an eye on it. Until then, it’s a lot of flat and blown-out water out there at Liencres (Cantabria). The water temp is 72°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least it’ll be comfortable while you’re waiting for something to surf.

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.
