Liencres Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what we’ve got coming down the line at Liencres.

The water is sitting at about 69.6°, which is about average for this time of year, so nothing crazy on that front. We’ve got a bit of a wait for anything worth getting wet for. The first few days are a write-off. Saturday the 12th and Sunday the 13th morning are the first real signs of life, but the wind is a problem. The swell is okay, but that cross-off breeze is a bit stiff in the afternoon.

Your first proper window opens up Sunday morning, the 13th. The swell fills in at 4.3ft from the NW with a 13-second period, which is a nice groundswell. The energy is solid at 565 (moderate), and with a light cross-off breeze it’ll be clean. This is a good one for the beginners—consistent, and the size is manageable. A real standout for the early part of the forecast.

Now, if you’re experienced and can handle some size, keep an eye on Friday the 18th afternoon. That swell jumps to 5.9ft from the NW, but the period is a very long 14 seconds. That’s a lot of energy, 1459 (strong), and it’s going to wrap in with some punch. The wind is light and cross-on, so it might be a bit lumpy, but for a point break like this, that long period will line up nicely. Crowds are often here, so expect company.

Saturday the 19th holds similar size, 6.6ft in the morning, also from the NW with a 13-second period. The energy is massive at 1325 (strong). It’s a clean cross-off light breeze, but the size is getting up there. For the average punter, it’s a bit much. This is more of an expert zone by then.

We get a bit of a drop on the 20th, back to 3.6ft, glassy morning conditions. Good for a fun, easy session but nothing epic.

The big daddy of the forecast is Monday the 21st of September. The swell hits 6.9ft from the NNW, with a 14-second period. The energy reading is 1977 (very strong). The morning is dead glassy. That’s the best conditions you’ll see for the biggest swell. However, this break can get overwhelmed at this size. If you’re an expert and the tide lines up, this could be the best session of the lot. It’s a proper caveat though—if it’s too big, it won’t hold.

Tuesday the 22nd morning is also glassy with a 5.6ft NW groundswell at 13 seconds. That’s a solid, clean option with 970 (moderate to strong) energy. After that, the swell drops off a bit, but we get another clean morning on the 24th of September with 4.9ft from the NNW at 14 seconds, but the wind turns cross-on in the afternoon, so get it early.

The tail end of the forecast, from the 26th on, is pretty small and weak, with the energy dropping to under 200 (weak). The wind is messy or onshore, so not one to get excited about.

So, to wrap it up: the standouts are Sunday the 13th for a clean, manageable session, and Monday the 21st for the biggest, glassiest, most powerful swell of the period—if you’ve got the skills for it. The stretch from the 15th to the 17th is a bit of a write-off with onshore winds and lumpy conditions. Stay stoked.
