The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with the Liencres lowdown in proper feet and knots.
The forecast starts off pretty bleak. Tuesday afternoon is weak, short-period junk with a stiff onshore breeze, and that grim pattern sticks around for a couple of days. Poor to marginal all the way through to Friday morning.
Then Friday the 18th afternoon, the ocean wakes up. We’re looking at an 8ft groundswell from the NW. That's a lot of juice, with a combined energy reading of 2662. That's expert territory for sure. The wind is light and cross-onshore, but it’ll be a heavy, raw ocean out there.
Saturday the 19th morning is your best bet. The swell holds at a solid 8ft from the NW with a 13-second period. The combined energy sits at 1783. But the magic is the wind: light offshore from the east. That means glassy, clean lines. The water temp is around 70°F, which is a couple of degrees warmer than normal – nice surprise. This is a dawn-patrol classic. Liencres is an exposed, consistent spot, and with wind like that you’re in for some proper, peeling waves. Just remember, the crowds can be a factor here on a good day.
Sunday morning the 20th drops to a more manageable 5ft with a glassy offshore breeze again. Clean, but smaller.
The next week is a mixed bag. The morning of Wednesday the 23rd brings a nice 5ft swell with a long 14-second period and a light offshore breeze; good waves, but nothing as epic as that Saturday.
Keep an eye out from the 27th onwards – the wind swings hard onshore from the west. The last few days of September see another pulse of overhead swell (7ft to 7ft), but it's lumpy, messy, and blown out. If you've got a kite, those days from the 28th might be your playground.
Bottom line: the opening week is flat to messy. Saturday the 19th morning is the one you want.
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.
