The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get into it for the Liencres stretch. The next couple of weeks are a real mixed bag, with a lot of ordinary, blown-out days to wade through before we get a proper taste of something good. The water is sitting at a balmy 73°F, which is much warmer than normal for this time of year – a solid 5°F above average, so you’ll be comfortable in a spring suit or even a shorty.
The first real chance to paddle out comes on Tuesday the 21st. Tuesday morning at Liencres is actually glassy, with a light 3 mph NNE breeze. The swell is a modest 5 ft from the NNE with a short period of 7 seconds, and the combined energy is weak at 169. It’s surfable, but the conditions are very ordinary. The afternoon gets ruined by a 16 mph cross-shore, so that’s a write-off.
Wednesday the 22nd through Saturday the 26th is a rough stretch. The wind is relentless – cross-offshore, cross-on, and fresh cross-onshore – with swell sizes fluctuating between 2 ft and 6 ft, but the quality is consistently poor. Saturday afternoon sees a 6 ft NW swell but with 22 mph winds and a risk of thunderstorms, making it lumpy and messy. The combined energy hits 227, which is moderate, but it’s not worth it for paddle surfing; that setup looks more interesting for kite surfing.
We finally get a standout window on Monday the 27th. Monday morning is the real deal. The wind goes glassy out of the NW at just 3 mph, and the swell is a clean 5 ft from the NW with a long period of 10 seconds. The combined energy is strong at 460. This is a proper groundswell, and while it’s a beach break setup, the glassy conditions and quality energy should produce some clean, lined-up waves. The period is long enough to give you good shape and make paddling out easier. Mark Monday morning as the best on offer.
After that, Monday afternoon gets messy with a cross-shore, and Tuesday the 28th is marginal with a cross-offshore breeze. Wednesday the 29th offers tiny 2 ft waves with glassy conditions again, but it’s very ordinary – just a small, clean knee-high dribble for a longboard.
From Thursday the 30th through Tuesday the 5th of August, it’s a long run of poor surf. The wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, with swell sizes dropping to 1 ft to 3 ft. The combined energy is weak, often below 100, and the conditions are choppy or messy. There’s a few tiny windows of glassy, surfable waves on the 4th and 5th of August, but the swell is super small at 2 ft to 3 ft, so it’s barely worth the paddle.
So, the takeaway: hold out for Monday the 27th morning. That’s your standout. The rest of the window is mostly a write-off, with a long gap of poor conditions from the 30th of July onwards. Stay patient – it tends not to stay poor for long, but this time it’s a solid run of flat, blown-out days.
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.
