The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the table for Liencres over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, the first week and a half is a real struggle. We’ve got a long quiet spell ahead. The swell is tiny, the wind is messy, and the scores are just plain low. For the first few days, from the 9th of August right through, the waves are too weak and the wind is mostly cross or cross-onshore, giving us choppy, bumpy conditions. The wave energy is weak, sitting at just 120 or less, which is barely enough to push a log along. Forget about anything decent for the first 10 days – it’s a flat spell with a few barely rideable slopey moments. The water is currently around 72°, which is a bit warmer than usual for the time of year.
The first real glimmer of hope arrives on the morning of Monday, the 24th of August. The wind switches to a glassy cross-offshore breeze from the East, and the swell starts to show some life. We’re looking at a clean 3 ft swell from the NW, with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 292, which is a solid moderate energy for the area. The conditions are clean, and the wave comment says it’s good. This is the standout of the whole forecast.
The main break here is Liencres. It’s a consistent spot, exposed to the NW swell, which is exactly what we’re getting. The water temps are still a touch warmer than average. While the break is consistent, the crowds are often there, so expect a few others out for that Monday morning session. The swell is a manageable size for most, not too big, not too small.
The afternoon of the 24th also looks clean, with a 4 ft NW swell, but the wind picks up to a moderate breeze, and the tide conditions might be a bit tricky. The morning is the clear winner.
So, to sum it up: the first week and a half are a total dud. The best bet by a long shot is the early session on Monday, the 24th. It’s a long way off, so the long-range call is a bit of a promise, but when the data looks this clean and the swell is this good for Liencres, it’s worth circling on the calendar. Get out there if you can.
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.
