Liencres Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for this stretch. We’re looking at a pretty slow start, but there’s a serious pulse of energy waiting for us if we’re patient.

The first real chance to get wet won’t be until Friday morning, 4th of September. It’s tiny, with waves around 2ft from the WNW, but the wind is glassy. That’s a rare treat, making it clean as a whistle. It’s surfable, but barely. Honestly, it’s more of a paddle-and-chat session than a wave-chasing one.

The standout window opens on Saturday, 5th of September. The Saturday morning session is the real deal. We’ve got a solid 4ft swell from the NW mixing with a very long period of 14 seconds. That’s groundswell, folks, and it’s packing a punch with moderate wave energy (663). The wind is light and cross-off, so Liencres is going to be clean. The swell direction is right on the money for this spot. This is the one to point your board at.

Sunday morning, 6th of September, holds a similar 4ft swell from the NW, but the wind swings cross-on, which will mess up the face. It’s a pass.

The next real highlight comes on Wednesday morning, 9th of September. The swell bumps up to 5ft from the NW, period at 10 seconds, and the energy is strong (540). The wind goes glassy again. This is a fantastic morning for a surfer who wants some size with glassy, clean conditions. The water temperature is about average for this time of year.

Thursday morning, 10th of September, is another glassy morning with a clean 4ft swell from the NW. It’s a good, fun option, but not the standout.

Now, for the big dog. Monday, 14th of September. Monday morning is a beast. The swell jumps to 7ft from the NW, with a very long period of 14 seconds and very strong wave energy (1649). The wind is dead calm, glassy. This is a proper groundswell, and at that size, it’s going to be for experienced surfers only. The afternoon sees the swell hit 7ft, but the wind turns light cross-on, and the guidance says it’s too big for this break. So, get out there early Monday morning or don’t bother.

After that, the swell drops back down, and the conditions get messy with onshore winds. There’s a small window of glassy conditions on Saturday morning, 12th and Sunday morning, 13th, but the swell is tiny, under 2ft. It’s not worth the drive.

Best Bet: Saturday morning, 5th September, for the clean, long-period groundswell. And if you’re an experienced surfer, Monday morning, 14th September, is the big, clean, glassy session you’ve been waiting for.

Rusty.
