Table - best surf conditions forecast for Liencres over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next sixteen days.
To be honest, it's a pretty flat and quiet start. We're looking at a long stretch of small, weak swell and mostly onshore or cross-onshore winds. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, sitting at 70°, but that's about the only thing going for us for a while. There's a little window of hope on the morning of Saturday the 11th of July, where Liencres sees a clean, light cross-offshore breeze from the ENE with a 2ft NW swell running at a long 11-second period. The energy is weak (92), but the conditions are clean, making it surfable but very ordinary. That's about the only flicker of life in the first week.
From there, it's a dead zone. The days roll by with tiny waves and poor conditions, with the combined energy dropping down to single digits at times. A complete blank run for the area.
The real story starts to build towards the end of the second week. Swell energy picks up significantly on Wednesday the 22nd of July, with a 4ft NW swell (173 energy) in the morning, building to 5ft (226 energy) by the afternoon. The wind is light and cross-onshore, but the wave comment still reads "poor surf conditions". That continues into Thursday the 23rd with a similar 4ft to 4ft NW swell. It's still not clean.
Then, on Friday the 24th of July, we get the biggest swell of the forecast period. A solid 6ft NW swell rolls in, with a period of 8 seconds and a strong combined energy of 402. That's a decent pulse of power. Unfortunately, the wind is onshore from the NW, and the conditions are still described as "poor surf conditions". This is a classic case of the ocean having plenty of energy but the wind just ruining it for us. For a spot like Liencres, which is an exposed beach setup, that onshore wind will make it a choppy, blown-out mess. It's more likely to be a fun day for the kite surfers than for paddle surfing.
So, looking at the whole picture, there are no true standouts. The Saturday 11th morning is the cleanest window, but the waves are tiny. The best wave energy comes on the 24th, but the wind is terrible. If you're desperate, keep an eye on that 22nd and 23rd, as a change in wind could make all the difference, but as it stands, it's a tough run.
Rusty, signing off.

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.
Liencres is 8 km (5 miles) from Camargo. If you plan a holiday in Spain - Cantabria, look for hotels and other accommodation in Camargo. Camargo has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
