The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a good, hard look at what’s on the table for Liencres over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a tough start. We’re looking at a real flat spell to kick things off. For the first week, from Tuesday the 4th right through to Sunday the 10th, there’s nothing worth paddling out for. The swell is tiny, the winds are messy, and the conditions are just plain poor. You’ll be sitting on your board doing nothing. This stretch is a write-off, so save your energy.
Things start to show a little pulse around Tuesday the 11th. The morning brings a 3ft swell from the NNW, with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy climbs to a moderate 210, and we’ve got a light cross-shore breeze, so it’s clean enough. But the forecast calls it marginal, and the wave quality is still not there. It’s a tease, not a goer.
The real standout, the one you’ve been waiting for, is Tuesday the 18th. That morning, Liencres is looking at a solid 5ft groundswell from the NW, with a long period of 11 seconds. The combined energy is a whopping 511 – that’s strong wave energy. It’s a touch on the bigger side, but with a light cross-onshore breeze and that long period, it’s got real power and shape. Given the NW swell matches the guidance optimum direction, this is the best bet on offer. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 72°, which is a nice bonus.
Wednesday the 19th keeps the hope alive. The morning is glassy with a 3ft NW swell, but the afternoon bumps up to 6ft from the NNW with combined energy at 671. That’s a lot of juice. This is getting into expert territory size-wise, but the conditions are marginal. It’s a strong, powerful swell that will need a keen eye on the tide.
So, if you’ve got patience, the second week is where it’s at. The 18th is the pick of the crop, but don’t write off the 19th either. The rest of the window is a frustrating mix of near-flat conditions and onshore chop. Hang tight, the wait will be worth 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.

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.
