Liencres Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it.

Right now, the surf is flat and the conditions are messy. There’s nothing to get excited about for the first few days. We’ve got a string of poor surf and ordinary conditions from Monday the 24th right through to the end of the week. The swell is tiny, the wind is all over the place, and the energy is weak. You’re looking at a gap of about four days with no real recommendations.

Things start to perk up a bit on Thursday the 27th morning. The swell bumps up to a modest 4ft from the WNW with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy hits 277 (moderate), and the wind is a light cross-shore from the SW. It’s not perfect, but it’s surfable and a step in the right direction for a beginner-friendly spot like Liencres. The water is sitting at 73°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.

The real standout, the one you’ve been waiting for, is Saturday the 29th morning. The wind drops to glassy from the ENE, and we’ve got a clean 4ft swell from the NW with 9-second period. The energy is solid at 220 (moderate), and the conditions are glassy. This is the best session on offer for the near term. Expect clean, fun waves, and because it’s a consistent break, you’ll get plenty of rides. Crowds are often here, so get there early.

Now, for the long-range promise. Keep an eye on the morning of Sunday the 6th of September. We’ve got a 5ft swell from the NNW with a 9-second period, and glassy conditions with an ENE breeze. The energy is strong at 803 (very strong). This is a promising call, but it’s a week and a half out, so keep your fingers crossed.

Then, Monday the 7th of September morning is another one to circle. The swell drops slightly to 3ft from the NW, but the period stretches out to a very long 16 seconds. That’s groundswell, and it’ll be clean with a light cross-offshore wind from the east. The energy is still strong at 658. This is a classic setup for a point or reef, and the waves will have shape and power. The wind is clean, so the lines will be good.

Watch out for the 3rd of September afternoon, though. The swell is predicted to be 7ft from the NW with a 10-second period, and the energy is through the roof at 854. That’s too big for this break, so steer clear unless you’re an expert. Same goes for the 5th of September afternoon with a 7ft swell.

Alright, that’s the story. The beginning is a write-off, but there’s good glassy swell coming if you’re patient.

Rusty.
