The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for the Liencres stretch. It’s a bit of a mixed bag with a long quiet spell, but there’s a couple of moments that could be worth a paddle.
The first few days are a write-off, I’m sorry to say. From Thursday afternoon the 23rd right through the weekend, the wind is howling onshore or cross-onshore, and the swell is small and weak. We’re talking tiny waves around 2ft to 6ft, with short periods of 5 to 6 seconds, and the combined energy is low to moderate (51 to 263). The water is much warmer than normal for this time of year at 73°F, but with that lumpy, choppy mess, it’s not worth the drive. The wind is strong from the WNW and W, and it’s just not surfable.
Monday morning the 27th sees a bit of a change. The swell picks up to 5ft from the NNW with a period of 10 seconds, and the combined energy jumps to 551 (strong). The wind is light cross-shore from the NNE, but the conditions are still marginal. The morning is the better call, with that light 3 mph breeze, but it’s not clean. By afternoon, the wind swings NE and picks up to 12 mph, making it choppy again. This is one for the patient, experienced surfer only.
The standout window, and the only real quality on offer, is Tuesday morning the 28th. The wind turns cross-offshore from the east at 9 mph, and the swell is 4ft from the NW with a 10-second period. The combined energy is 242 (moderate) and the wave comment says “expect good surf conditions.” The waves will be clean, and the crowd profile at Liencres says “often” busy, so expect company. The swell direction from the NW matches the optimum, so the break should be working well. This is the best session of the whole forecast.
After that, it’s back to small, weak, and onshore. Wednesday the 29th through Friday the 1st of August is mostly flat with poor surf conditions. There’s a moment on Friday morning the 31st with glassy conditions and 2ft waves from the NW, but it’s ordinary. Saturday morning the 1st of August is also glassy with 3ft, but again, just surfable, not exciting.
The second week doesn’t offer much. Sunday the 2nd of August has a moderate 4ft to 5ft swell from the NW with a 10-second period, and combined energy up to 569 (strong), but the wind is cross-shore or cross-offshore and the conditions are marginal. The best of that week is the morning of the 2nd with clean conditions from a cross-offshore ENE breeze at 9 mph, but it’s still only a 1/10. The rest of the week is onshore and choppy. There’s a glassy moment on Wednesday morning the 5th of August with 3ft, but again, it’s ordinary.
If you’re a beginner, most of this is too small or too messy. Anything over 5ft here is only for the experienced, and the 5ft on the 27th and 2nd of August fits that. The long-period 10-second swells will give decent shape, but the beach break setup might not hold the line perfectly.
Overall, the only real standout is Tuesday morning the 28th. Get out there early, it’s clean, it’s fun, and the water is warm. The rest of the 16 days is a long, drawn-out gap of poor conditions. It’s not a total blank, but it’s close.
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.
