The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a proper look at the outlook for Liencres.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a grim stretch. The whole 16-day window is a struggle. We’re looking at a dry spell that runs from now, Thursday the 16th of July, all the way through to the morning of Wednesday the 22nd, with nothing but tiny, weak waves and rubbish conditions. Honestly, it’s one of those periods where you’re better off checking your gear than getting wet.
The water is sitting at 71°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – not a bad thing for the paddle, but it’s the only silver lining.
Let’s start with that long flat gap. From Thursday the 16th through to Tuesday the 21st, it’s all small windswell from the north, mostly under 2ft, with periods around 4-6 seconds. The energy readings are pathetic – down around 9 to 26 units of combined swell energy. The wind is a mess, too. We’ve got cross-onshore breezes and nothing clean. Even on Sunday the 19th morning, when it goes glassy, the swell is only 1ft with a 9-second period. That’s just not enough to ride.
Then on Monday the 20th, we finally see a bit of life. The swell pushes up to 4ft from the NE with a 6-second period, and the energy climbs to 186 units – moderate, finally. The wind is cross-shore, so it’s not ideal, but it’s something. Monday afternoon stays similar, with 5ft from the NNE and a cross-offshore breeze that keeps it clean. The energy is 194 units. Still not a standout, but it’s the first time in days you could actually paddle out and maybe find a small, crumbly wave.
Tuesday the 21st is the closest we get to a call. Morning has 4ft from the NNE with cross-off wind and 114 units of energy. The afternoon is the best of the lot: 5ft from the NNE, 7-second period, fresh cross-offshore breeze, clean conditions, and 176 units of moderate energy. It’s not big, but for Liencres in this flat spell, that afternoon window is your only real shot at a few fun ones. The swell direction from the NNE is about as good as it gets for this break, which likes NW, but it’s a close cousin. The break is consistent, but with that crowd being often, you won’t be alone.
Everything after that tails off again. Wednesday the 22nd morning goes glassy with 4ft from the NNE, 6-second period, but the energy drops to 102 and the surf is described as *surfable but very ordinary*. It's just enough to bob around if you're desperate.
The rest of the month just fades. Thursday the 23rd back to 2ft. Friday the 24th the same. Over the weekend of the 25th and 26th, there is a very minor bump – we see 5ft from the NW late on Sunday the 26th afternoon with 222 units of energy, but the wind is cross-onshore and choppy. Not a clean wave, and the period is just 7 seconds. The following Monday the 27th is marginal, with 4ft from the NW and 200 units of energy, but the wind stays cross-onshore.
Honestly, mate, for this 16-day run, the standout – and I use that word loosely – is Tuesday the 21st afternoon. The 5ft NNE swell, with that fresh cross-off breeze making it clean, offers the most rideable waves we’ll see. Everywhere else is a struggle. If you’re itching, that’s your only real window.
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.
