Liencres Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, let’s get into it. We’re looking at a mixed bag over the next couple of weeks. The first few days are a bit of a write-off, but there’s a solid pulse of swell coming through that should get us stoked.

We start off with a tiny window on Monday morning, the 7th of September. Liencres is seeing a clean 2ft swell from the WNW with glassy conditions. The combined energy is weak (258), so it’s small, but it’s clean. That’s about it for the start though, as things go downhill quickly. Monday afternoon turns choppy, and Tuesday and Wednesday are a complete mess with onshore winds and poor surf. We’re looking at a gap of a few days with nothing worthwhile.

Now, Thursday morning the 10th, it starts to get interesting. The swell picks up to 5ft from the NW, and with glassy conditions, it’s looking clean. The combined energy is moderate (381). This is a good sign, but the real standout comes later.

The best of the forecast is shaping up for the morning of Sunday, the 13th of September. We’ve got a solid 5ft groundswell from the NW, with a long period of 13 seconds. The wind is a light cross-offshore from the E, keeping things clean. The combined energy is strong (759), and this is a beginner-friendly break that’s consistent. The water temp is 70°, which is about average for this time of year. This is the one to circle. The swell is getting some size, but it’s not too big, and the conditions are prime.

Monday morning the 14th is also a solid follow-up with 5ft NW swell, a long 12-second period, and light cross-offshore winds. Combined energy is moderate (570). This is another good session, but it’s a notch below Sunday.

After that, things get wild. From the 16th, the swell builds significantly, but it’s all onshore wind and choppy. By Thursday the 17th and Friday the 18th, we’re looking at 8ft to 8ft NW swell, but the wind is a cross-on mess. The combined energy is very strong (over 1000), but it’s too big and messy for this spot. It’s a pass unless you’re a hardcore expert looking for a challenge, but even then, the wind is bad.

The second week sees a few more pulses, but the conditions are a gamble. The 21st of September has a 7ft NNW swell with a very long 12-second period, but it’s a cross-shore wind and the swell is too big for this break. The energy is massive (1327), but it’s not for the average surfer.

Overall, keep your eyes on Sunday the 13th and Monday the 14th for the best windows. The rest is a lot of wind and chop, or swell that’s just too big for the setup here.

Rusty.
