The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for Liencres. Right now, we’re looking at a pretty grim stretch of weather. The water is sitting at 73°, which is a wild 5° warmer than usual for this time of year, that’s a big anomaly and you’ll feel it.
The first bit of this outlook is a total write-off. From Monday the 20th all the way through Saturday the 26th of July, we’ve got nothing but poor surf conditions. It’s a solid week of no-go. The swell is weak and short-period, with combined energy barely cracking 200 (moderate wave energy at best), and the winds are all over the place – cross, cross-on, and onshore. There’s a storm risk on the 25th with 22 mph winds. Don’t even bother paddling out.
Things start to stir on Monday the 27th of July. The swell picks up a bit, coming from the NW with a period of 10 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 426 (moderate wave energy). It’s still only a marginal call, though. Tuesday morning the 28th is the first real glimmer of hope. The swell is 4ft from the NNW with a period of 9 seconds, combined energy of 274 (moderate wave energy), and we get a cross-offshore breeze from the ENE at 9 mph. The guidance says this spot is consistent and exposed to NW swell, but the wind is actually coming from the ENE, which is solid for Liencres. The water is clean, and the waves will be about waist to chest high. This is the best option for the first week, but it’s not a standout.
Wednesday morning the 29th of July is similar: 4ft from the NW at 10 seconds, with an ENE breeze at 3 mph. It’s clean and glassy. Again, a fun, small day for the beginner crew. The afternoons turn onshore and messy.
The real standout pops up on Sunday the 2nd of August. Wait for it. The morning is glassy, with a 10ft swell from the NNW at 10 seconds. The combined energy is a massive 1623 (very strong wave energy). That is a lot of water moving. Now, the caveat here is that this break is rated for beginners, and 10ft is too much for most. This is an expert-only, big-wave session. The swell is long-period groundswell, which will mean long sets and plenty of power. Given the size and the glassy offshore wind, this is the best on offer in the whole 16-day window. After that, it drops off quickly. Monday the 3rd of August sees a tiny 3ft NW swell, and the rest of the window fizzles out.
So, to wrap it up: the first week is a total dud. The second week has a few small, clean mornings for the learners, but the absolute standout is the 2nd of August. That’s a big, clean, glassy day for the experienced crew.
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.
