Liencres Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s get into it. I’m Rusty, and I’m looking at the next couple of weeks for Liencres.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you: it’s a tough stretch. We’ve got a long, flat spell from Wednesday the 8th of July all the way through to late July. No real surf to get excited about – just tiny, weak pulses and a lot of poor conditions. For the first two weeks, the swell is barely registering, with combined wave energy sitting in the weak category, mostly in the teens and twenties (25 to 92 range). It’s not going to be worth paddling out unless you’re after a float.

The water temp is sitting at 70°F, which is a notable 4°F warmer than usual for this time of year – feels like a warm bath out there, but the waves are missing.

Now, the only thing that really grabs my attention is far out, on Thursday the 23rd of July. The morning brings a jump in swell height to 6ft from the WNW, and the combined energy jumps up to a strong 476. That’s a proper pulse of energy. But here’s the catch: the wind is cross-on from the W at 9 mph, and the period is a short 7 seconds. That’s wind swell, not the clean, lined-up groundswell we’d hope for. It’s going to be a bit lumpy and choppy. For a beginner, that 6ft is getting into the too-big zone, so it’s for more experienced surfers. The afternoon sees 7ft from the NW with a lighter cross-on breeze from the NNW at 6 mph – still not perfect, but a bit cleaner with small wind ripples only. The energy stays strong at 443.

Because it’s 16 days out, take this with a grain of salt. It’s promising, but not locked in. If you’re an expert and can handle a bit of chop, that Thursday the 23rd is your only real shot at something with some push. For the rest of the 16-day window, it’s a long blank run. But hey, forecasts can change, and it’s not always this flat around here.

Stay tuned, keep checking.
