The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down the surf at Liencres for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, Friday the 21st is a dud. Rain showers, a cross-on westerly wind, and choppy, messy conditions. The swell is there at 6 ft from the NW, but the wind ruins it. The water is sitting at 74°, which is about 4° warmer than average for this time of year – that’s a real warm streak.
The first real action is Saturday morning, the 22nd. Clear skies, a light offshore breeze from the east, and clean lines. Swell is 4 ft from the NW, period 9 seconds – decent energy for a fun wave. The combined energy is a modest 212. This is the pick of the early window for beginners and intermediates. The afternoon gets gusty onshore, so get out early.
Sunday the 23rd is small and ordinary, with tiny swell. Monday the 24th is glassy but the waves are barely there at 3 ft or less.
Tuesday the 25th through Thursday the 27th is a poor stretch. Tiny swell, messy winds. Thursday morning the 27th is glassy with a little 3 ft swell, but it’s ordinary.
Now, the standout. Friday the 28th morning is looking good. Clear skies, glassy, with a 5 ft NW swell, period 9 seconds, and combined energy of 452. This is a clean, solid morning.
The real gem is Saturday the 29th morning. Glassy, calm, with a southerly breeze. Swell is 6 ft from the NW, period 10 seconds, and the combined energy is a strong 682. This is the best of the whole forecast. Clean, powerful, good shape. The afternoon gets a cross-on breeze, so the window is narrow but totally worth it.
Sunday the 30th morning is also nice – glassy, 4 ft NW swell, period 9 seconds, energy 306. Clean and fun.
After that, the surf fades. From Monday the 31st onward, the swell drops and the wind turns mostly onshore. It’s small, weak, and messy. There’s a small blip on Wednesday the 2nd with 5 ft swell, but the wind is onshore and the period is short. Not worth it.
So, the best window is Saturday morning the 29th of August – glassy, 6 ft NW swell, clean, and powerful. Friday the 28th and Sunday the 30th mornings are also solid. The rest is quiet, especially into the second week. For beginners, Saturday morning the 22nd is your best bet for clean, safe waves.
This is 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.
