Table - best surf conditions forecast for Liencres over the next 16 days.
Alright, grab a coffee and listen up. It’s Rusty here, and I’ve had a proper look at what’s coming for our stretch of coast. I’m not gonna lie to you, this 16-day window is looking pretty grim. No two ways about it, the surf forecast is a tough one. We’ve got a long stretch of poor conditions ahead.
I’m talking about Liencres. It’s an exposed beginner-friendly spot, consistently breaking, but that’s about the only thing going for it for the next couple of weeks. The water temp is sitting right about average for the time of year, nothing to write home about.
The pattern is basically flat and weak. We’re starting on Thursday the 9th and the whole first week is a write-off. Swell is tiny, barely pushing 2ft to 2ft from the NW and WNW, with short periods around 9–10 seconds. The combined energy is weak, barely scratching 60–80 (52 to 80). The wind is a mess, mostly cross or cross-onshore, and the wave comment just says "poor surf conditions" across the board. The scores are all zeros. There is nothing to get excited about.
Saturday the 11th has a moment of cleaner conditions with a cross-offshore breeze from the NE at 15 km/h, and a longer period of 11 seconds from the NW, but the swell is only 1ft and the combined energy is still a weak 80. It’s a tease. You might get a tiny, clean ankle-snapper, but it’s not worth paddling out for.
The entire first week, from the 9th through to the 15th, is a total gap. There are no recommendations. No standouts. Nothing. It’s a blank run, and honestly, for this area, it’s not that unusual. We just have to wait it out.
The second week doesn’t get much better. The swell stays small, mostly under 2ft, and the period drops off to 5–7 seconds. The wind is all over the place, with a mostly cross-on or onshore direction. The combined energy stays weak, with a few blips like on the morning of Monday the 21st of July showing 75 and Tuesday the 22nd showing 80, but that’s still tiny. The swell is only 3ft maximum from the N, with a rubbish period of 6–7 seconds. It’s barely surfable.
The only real “standout” in this whole forecast, if you can call it that, is the morning of Saturday the 18th of July. We’ve got 0.7ft of swell from the NNW, a period of 5 seconds, and the combined energy is a pathetic 4. But here’s the kicker: the wind is glassy. Absolutely glassy. If you’re desperate for a paddle and want to sit on a lake-like surface, maybe you’ll find a ripple. But for any real surfing, it’s a non-event.
The best of the best, if you are a true optimist, is the morning of Tuesday the 21st of July. Swell of 3ft from the N at 6 seconds, combined energy of 75, and a gentle cross-onshore breeze. It’s the biggest swell of the whole period, but the poor period and the wind direction mean it’ll be a bit messy. It’s nothing to get excited about.
So, I’m telling you straight: there’s no real surf to be had. The forecasts can change, it doesn’t stay poor forever, but for now, leave the boards at home.
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.
