Liencres Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s look at what’s on the table for Liencres over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, the first few days are a bit of a write-off. Saturday the 5th has some size, with a 4ft NW swell and a solid 14-second period, but the wind is a cross-offshore breeze, and the call is for marginal surf with questionable tide conditions. The wave energy is moderate at 567. Saturday afternoon gets a bit bigger to 5ft, but the wind picks up to 15 mph, making it messy. Sunday the 6th is a no-go with cross-onshore winds and a choppy surface. The whole start of the week is pretty poor – small waves, bad wind, or both. The swell drops right off, with energy readings like 258 and 270 on Monday, but it’s mostly cross-shore or cross-onshore junk.

The first real standout doesn’t pop up until Thursday the 10th. That morning, the wind goes glassy, dead calm from the southeast, and the swell is a clean 4ft from the NNW at 11 seconds. The combined energy is 375, which is moderate, but the glassy conditions make it look like a proper session. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 71°F, so you won’t be freezing. The swell direction is from the NNW, which is a bit off the optimum NW, but it’s still hitting the beach. The spot is exposed and consistent, though it can get crowded often, so expect company.

After that, it goes quiet again. A few days of small, weak swell with poor quality. Then, another highlight shows up on Sunday the 13th. That morning, it’s glassy again, zero wind from the NNW, and a 4ft NW swell with a 12-second period. The energy is 482, a nice step up from the week before. This is the best call of the whole outlook. The swell direction is straight from the NW, which is perfect for Liencres, and the glassy conditions will make it silky. The break is on the steeper side for a beginner spot at this size, but it’s consistent and exposed. Just be aware of the crowds.

The final week sees a mix of small, weak swells with energy readings below 200, and most days have moderate to fresh breezes that keep things from being great. The 16th and 17th are particularly poor, with tiny waves. The 18th and 19th have some clean cross-offshore winds, but the swell is tiny – 1ft to 2ft – so unless you’re on a log, it’s not worth the paddle.

So, to sum it up: the best day on offer is Thursday morning the 10th, with a close second on Sunday morning the 13th. Both are glassy, with decent, clean knee-to-waist high waves. The rest of the period is a lot of waiting around.
