Liencres Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, this is Rusty checking in with the outlook for Liencres. I'm looking at the charts and... well, it's a quiet start. We're looking at a long stretch of nothing much until things finally start to wake up.

For the first few days, from Sunday the 23rd through to Wednesday the 27th of August, it's pretty flat and blown out. The swell is tiny, the period is short, and the wind is mostly cross or onshore. You're better off doing something else. There's a moment of glassy conditions on the 25th, but with a swell of just 0.3ft... it's a pond. A lake.

Then, Thursday the 27th morning finally shows a pulse of life. We get a 4ft swell from the WNW with a 8-second period. The combined energy is moderate (185), and with glassy conditions, it's surfable, but it's just ordinary. The afternoon turns messy with cross-off wind. Not the one.

Now, Friday the 28th of August morning is where it starts to get interesting. A 5ft groundswell from the NW, 9-second period, and the energy jumps to moderate (406). The wind is light and cross-off, so the surf will be clean. This is a solid beginner-friendly option with good shape. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 73°F, so you're not freezing.

But the real standout? Saturday the 29th of August morning. Get your alarm set. We’ve got a 6ft swell from the NW, with a 10-second period, and the combined energy is strong (671). What makes this special is the glassy conditions. That wind is dead calm from the SSE. This is going to be clean, lined-up, and punchy. It's a true standout for the whole period. The afternoon will get choppy again, so it's all about that dawn patrol.

After that, things settle down. The first week of September has some glassy mornings but the swell drops off. There's a 4ft swell on the 1st of September with glassy conditions, and a 4ft on the 31st of August, but the energy is lower and the consistency isn't there.

The last notable event is on Monday the 7th of September. The models are showing a big 7ft to 10ft swell from the WNW with massive energy (862 to 1327). The wind is looking glassy. But here's the thing: that size is too big for this spot. This is a beginner-friendly break, and when it gets over 8ft, it's only for experts. The forecast says it's too big for Liencres. So unless you're a very experienced local, you're better off sitting that one out. It's a long way out, so keep an eye on it, but don't count on it.

So, if you're looking for a wave, the clear winner is Saturday, 29th of August morning. The glassy conditions and a solid 6ft NW swell are the best combination we've got. Friday the 28th morning is a good backup.

Rusty, signing off.
