The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get real about the next couple of weeks at Liencres. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, but there’s a light at the end of the tunnel.
Right now, things are pretty flat. We’re kicking off with a weak 1ft NW swell on Sunday the 19th, but it’s a cross-shore mess with a moderate breeze, so don’t even bother. The water is a balmy 73°, which is *much warmer than normal* for this time of year – a solid 5° above average, so you’ll be comfortable in a shorty or spring suit.
Monday the 20th through to Saturday the 26th is a real write-off. The swell is tiny, mostly under 3ft, and when it does bump up a little, the wind is all wrong. There’s a small window on Tuesday afternoon the 21st with a 5ft NNE swell and some cross-off wind, but it’s still rated poor. Honestly, there’s a solid week of nothing here. The energy is weak, barely cracking 100 (moderate energy).
Now, things start to get interesting from Sunday the 27th. We see a nice little NW groundswell filling in with a period of 11 seconds, giving it some real shape. The energy is moderate (162) and the morning is glassy – that’s clean. It’s only 2ft, so it’s surfable but ordinary.
The real standout, the one you should circle on your calendar, is Wednesday morning the 29th of July. Liencres is an exposed NW break, and this is where it all comes together. We’ve got a solid 4ft groundswell from the NW, with a 11-second period. The energy is strong at 387 (moderate). But the best part? Glassy conditions. Absolutely flat calm. The break is consistent, and it’s a beginner-friendly spot, so the crowd could be there often, but the waves will be clean and fun. This is the best on offer by a long shot. Thursday morning the 30th keeps that clean glassy vibe with a 4ft NNW swell, but the energy is a bit higher (468) – still a good option.
The tail end of the run, from Friday the 31st into August, drops off again. The swell fades back to 3ft or smaller, and the winds pick up from the east, making it choppy. Not worth paddling out for.
So, to sum it up: suffer through the first week. The 29th and 30th of July are your golden tickets with clean, glassy conditions and a decent NW groundswell. Get on it.
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.
