Liencres Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's brewing for the local line-up.

First up, the standout session is shaping up to be Tuesday the 28th of July. That morning, Liencres is looking like the pick of the bunch. We’ve got a clean 5ft swell rolling in from the NNW, with a 10-second period. The wind is a gentle cross-off from the East, keeping things tidy. The combined energy is sitting at a moderate 394, so there’s enough push to get you into a few. It’s a consistent, exposed spot, ideal for beginners, and the water temp is about average for this time of year, so not too shocking. The downside? It can get crowded here 'often', so expect company.

Tuesday afternoon sees the swell drop a touch to 4ft from the NW, still cross-off, but the energy drops to 252. It’s a bit more marginal.

Now, the bad news. From Wednesday the 29th of July all the way through to Monday the 3rd of August, it’s a complete write-off. We’re looking at a solid 10-day gap of tiny, weak, or onshore junk. The swell barely tickles 3ft, and the winds are mostly cross-on, so the surface is choppy and uninviting. Energy levels are pitiful, often under 100. There’s literally nothing to recommend.

We get a whisper of hope on Tuesday the 4th of August. Tuesday morning is glassy, but the swell is a pathetic 1ft from the NNW. It’s surfable, but only just.

Then, hold onto your boards, because Friday the 7th of August is another real standout. That morning, Liencres wakes up to a glassy, clean 5ft from the NW, with a decent 8-second period and a moderate energy reading of 334. It’s a solid chance for a good session, and the wind is dead calm – glassy conditions are a major positive. The afternoon turns a bit cross-shore, but the morning is the one to chase.

Saturday the 8th of August drops back to a weak 3ft, and Sunday the 9th of August sees a bigger pulse of 6ft from the NW, but it’s onshore, likely messy and blown out. That’s getting into the "experts only" territory for size, but the wind will ruin it. The energy is strong at 703, but it’s just not clean.

Monday the 10th of August is a similar story – a solid 5ft to 6ft from the NW, but with a cross-on or onshore wind. The energy is strong (566-562), but the quality is poor. The rest of the window fades back into small, weak, or choppy conditions.

So, to sum it up: your best bets are the morning of Tuesday the 28th of July and the morning of Friday the 7th of August. Everything else in between is a long, flat, or blown-out gap. Be patient.

Rusty.
