The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here, talkin’ surf for Cantabria’s coast at Liencres.

Let’s cut to it—this 16-day window is a real tease with one killer morning, but a whole lot of flat and windy nonsense around it. The first few days are a total bust, only tiny, weak waves showing up.

Sunday the 23rd starts off with a small, gutless 3 ft NNE swell (energy 69). The morning breeze is a light cross-offshore, so it’s clean but ordinary—not worth paddling out for. The rest of that day and then Monday through Wednesday are all poor; knee-high slop with onshore or cross-shore wind.

Thursday the 27th brings a moderate bump: a 4 ft NW swell with an 8-second period and moderate energy (162). Still not great, with cross winds and a chop on it.

Then we lock into the good stuff. Friday morning, August 28th – this is the one. Liencres gets hit with a solid 7 ft NW groundswell, with an 11-second period and very strong energy (1086). The wind is glassy offshore from the SSW at 3 mph. Glassy and offshore. That’s a dream combo for the experienced crew. That 7 ft is into expert territory here—it’s going to be powerful. The long period means bigger, walled-up sets. For the skilled surfer, this is the morning. The water’s running a touch warmer than usual at 73°. Crowds are common here, and on a morning like this, the lineup will be busy. It’s still worth it.

Friday afternoon turns ugly: 10 ft and a strong onshore wind—that’s a mess.

Saturday morning, August 29th is your next best bet. A 6 ft NW swell (10-second period, moderate-strong energy at 542) with clean, glassy SSW winds. That’s a better size for more surfers and still very high quality.

Sunday the 30th and Monday the 31st drop down to 3 ft to 5 ft NW swell, but offer glassy or clean conditions in the mornings. Good for a mellow session or beginners, but energy is only low to moderate.

Then the plug gets pulled. From Tuesday, September 1st, right through to the end on Monday, September 7th, it’s mostly rubbish. Tiny waves (1 ft to 3 ft), and mostly onshore or cross-onshore wind. The only faint glimmer is Friday morning, September 4th, with a waist-high 3 ft NW swell (10-second period, moderate energy at 147) and light winds, but it’s still classed as poor. That whole week is essentially a blank period.

The final day, Monday the 7th, shows a 4 ft NW swell but with a brutal 28 mph cross-onshore wind. That’s a kite session, not a surf.

So, to wrap it up: your best bet by a mile is Friday morning the 28th for experts, with Saturday morning the 29th as a cleaner, slightly smaller alternative. Everything else is flat, blown out, or just not worth a look, especially from September 1st.

Rusty.

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.
