Liencres Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here, let's talk about what's cookin' at Liencres.

Looking at the whole 16-day window, we've got a bit of a slow start, then a decent run of clean, fun waves, followed by a flat spell, and then a big, powerful, and potentially tricky pulse of swell right at the end.

The first real action worth mentioning is Thursday morning, the 27th of August. It's small, with waves around 3 ft from the NW, but the wind is light and cross-off, keeping things clean. The energy is weak though, clocking in at 63, so you'll be hunting for the little ones. The afternoon of the 27th gets blown out with a strong 22 mph SW wind, so that's a wash.

Now, the standout period kicks off Friday the 28th of August. The morning is a beauty. We've got a clean 4 ft NW swell, but it's that glassy wind that really makes it. The energy is moderate at 212, and for a beginner-friendly, consistent spot like Liencres, that's perfect. The water temp is about average for this time of year, no weird anomalies to worry about.

The run continues. Saturday the 29th of August morning is another glassy gem with a 5 ft swell from the NW and moderate energy (291). Then, Sunday the 30th of August morning is the absolute best of the first week. The swell jumps to 6 ft from the NW, still glassy, and the energy is strong at 627. The consistent exposure to the NW swell really pays off here. The afternoon gets a bit messy with an onshore wind, but that morning session is the one to circle.

After Sunday, things get a bit more marginal. The mornings of the 31st and 1st of September have a bit of cross-on wind, but the swell is still in the 4 ft to 6 ft range with strong energy. You could still find a wave, but it won't be as clean.

We'll hit a dry spell from about the 2nd of September through the 9th. The swell drops way down, and the wind is inconsistent. There are a few glassy mornings on the 3rd and 4th, but the waves are tiny, under 2 ft, and the energy is feeble. It's a real lull, and not worth paddling out for.

Now, hold on to your board, because around the 10th of September, things get serious. Thursday the 10th morning sees a 6 ft swell from the NNW, but it's short period (8 seconds) and the energy is strong at 808. The wind is light cross, so it's rideable for the experienced. The real kicker is Thursday afternoon and Friday the 11th of September morning. We're looking at a 7 ft to 8 ft NW swell with a solid period and energy over 1000. The wind is light and cross-on, but at this size for a beach break, it's going to be a washing machine. It's expert-only territory, and honestly, the setup might be more interesting for the kite surfers than paddle surfers. It's a big, powerful, and challenging end to the forecast.

Stay stoked.
Rusty.
