Liencres Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, let’s talk Liencres in feet and miles. Rusty here.

Water temp is about 73°, which is a touch warmer than what’s normal for this time of year—so you’ll be fine in a spring suit or a shorty if you’re feeling it.

The start is a bit slow. Friday the 21st has a 6-foot NW swell with a 10-second period, but the wind is blowing from the WNW at 9 mph, putting it onshore. The energy is moderate (647), but it’s messy. Saturday the 22nd morning is the first real window. The swell drops to 4 feet from the NW, and the wind switches to the east at 9 mph, giving us a clean cross-offshore breeze. The energy is weak (212), but it’s rideable and clean. This break is consistent and exposed, and crowds are “often,” so expect to share the water. This is the best option of the early days.

Saturday afternoon gets too windy—18 mph from the ENE—so that’s a no-go. Sunday the 23rd is tiny and weak, with a 2-foot swell from the NNW and a short 7-second period. There’s a lull through Monday and Tuesday, with tiny waves and glassy conditions but not enough to surf.

Thursday the 27th brings a big 7 to 8-foot WNW swell, but it’s paired with thunderstorms and strong onshore winds (22 mph). That’s a big, chunky mess—more for the kite guys than paddle surfers. The energy is strong (635 to 924), but the quality is poor.

Friday the 28th morning is the real standout. The swell is 6 feet from the NW, with a 9-second period, and the wind is glassy—calm from the WSW. The energy is strong (516), and the forecast says “expect very good surf conditions.” This is the cleanest, punchiest session of the whole outlook. The size is a bit much for beginners, but it’s still manageable.

Saturday the 29th and Sunday the 30th mornings are decent, with 6 feet and 4 feet respectively, but the wind is cross-onshore, so not as clean. Monday the 31st morning is glassy again with a 4-foot NW swell, offering another good window.

Looking further out, Wednesday the 3rd of September morning brings a solid 6-foot NW swell with glassy conditions—strong energy (426)—and Thursday the 4th and Friday the 5th mornings also look clean with 5-foot and 4-foot swells, respectively. Those are promising but still a week and a half away, so don’t lock in your plans yet.

Overall, the best bet is Friday the 28th morning, with Saturday the 22nd morning as a solid secondary option. There’s a gap of a few days in the middle where the surf is too small or too windy, but that’s normal for this spot. The second week has some nice glassy windows, but it’s a bit further out, so keep your fingers crossed.

Rusty out.
