The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break down what’s happening here in Liencres. The water’s about average for this time of year, nothing unusual. The next couple of weeks are a mixed bag, with a lot of small, weak energy and poor conditions early on, but there’s a hint of something better later.
We start off with not much going on. Saturday the 15th and Sunday the 16th have tiny waves around 2ft to 3ft, with cross-onshore winds and messy, choppy conditions. The combined swell energy is really low, between 58 and 120 (weak), so it’s a washout. Monday the 17th starts with a glassy morning and a tiny 2ft NNW swell, but it’s short-period and weak, just “surfable but very ordinary.” The week continues similar: small, inconsistent, and mostly blown out or cross-shore. Tuesday the 18th morning has a clean 2ft with a cross-offshore breeze, but it’s barely a ripple. Wednesday the 19th is glassy in the morning but only 1ft – not worth getting wet for.
There’s a real gap with no solid recommendations until the 20th, when we start to see a slight uptick. Thursday the 20th offers a clean morning with 3ft NW swell and a cross-offshore wind, then a better afternoon with 4ft and clean conditions. The combined energy is climbing to 158 and 237 (moderate), but it’s still marginal. Friday the 21st sees the biggest swell so far – 5ft from the NNW with a period of 10 seconds and combined energy of 481 (strong). The morning is cross-shore with light wind ripples, but the afternoon gets cross-onshore and a bit choppy. Still, this is the first real pulse of energy, and it’s decent for a surf, though the wind isn’t perfect.
Then we hit another dry spell from the 22nd to the 25th: small waves, mostly 2ft to 3ft, with cross-onshore or onshore winds and choppy, lumpy conditions. Combined energy is weak, between 18 and 116. Not worth paddling out.
The standout window arrives on Wednesday the 26th of August. The morning is clean with a cross-offshore breeze from the ENE, and a solid 4ft swell from the NW with a 12-second period. The combined swell energy is 401 (strong), and it’s labelled “expect good surf conditions.” This is the best on offer – a proper groundswell, good shape, and clean faces. The break handles the NW swell well, and with the wind blowing offshore, it’ll be glassy and lined up. Liencres is a consistent spot, but it can get crowded, so keep an eye out for company. The 4ft is a nice size for most surfers, not too big, not too small.
Thursday the 27th follows up with a similar morning: 5ft from the NW, 10-second period, combined energy of 400, clean with a cross-offshore breeze. Another good session, though the afternoon gets a bit windier and drops a notch. After that, it fades. Friday the 28th and Saturday the 29th have glassy mornings but tiny 2ft to 2ft waves, and Sunday the 30th is glassy with 3ft, but just ordinary.
So, the pick of the litter is Wednesday the 26th and Thursday the 27th mornings. That’s where you want to be. The rest is either too small, too windy, or just plain flat. Don’t hold your breath for the first two weeks, but that late August window has some promise.

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.
