The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let's talk about what Liencres has lined up for us over the next couple of weeks. We've got a slow start with plenty of flat spells, but there are a couple of windows that will get the blood pumping.
First up, the water temp is sitting at 72°F, which is a touch warmer than what we'd normally expect for this time of year. Nice.
Alright, the first few days are a real bust. Monday the 24th through to the end of the week are just poor. Tiny, weak swell with a combined energy of just 23 to 93, and the wind is all over the place. Not worth paddling out for.
We get a tiny glimmer on Saturday the 29th morning. The swell stays small, around 5ft from the NW, but the wind goes dead calm – glassy as glass. The energy is still moderate at 390, so it’s not packing much punch, but for a beginner-friendly spot like Liencres, that's a solid, clean option. This is your best early bet.
Then we hit a bit of a gap again. Sunday the 30th has some surf but the wind goes onshore in the afternoon.
Now, look ahead to Monday the 31st. The morning is looking good. A clean 5ft NW swell with glassy conditions. The energy is building into the strong range at 388, so there’s some push behind it. That 9-second period is decent for a beach break like this. It’s still in the beginner-friendly range, too.
Tuesday the 1st of September morning is also worth a mention. The swell drops a touch to 4ft from the NW, but we get a clean, cross-offshore wind from the ENE. That'll keep the faces tidy. The energy sits at 326 and is solid.
The real standout, though, is Tuesday the 8th of September. Mark it down. The swell jumps to 4ft from the NW, but the period is a massive 18 seconds. That's groundswell energy, and the combined energy rockets to 977 – very strong. Morning is glassy, with just a slight air. For this kind of long-period NW swell at Liencres, you’re looking at proper, powerful surf. The water is glassy and the lines will have some real travel to them. It’s not huge, but the quality will be way above anything else in this outlook. Given it's two weeks out, keep an eye on it, but it's got the potential to be the best session of the whole period.
The afternoon of the 8th will see the swell build further to 5ft with the same long period, pushing the energy to 1334 – very strong. The wind goes cross-onshore, which will mess it up a bit, but the raw swell energy is undeniable.
To wrap it up: The first week is mostly a write-off for decent waves, with only a handful of glassy, small windows. The second week, and especially that Tuesday the 8th, is where the interest lies with that long-period groundswell. It’s a promising but distant prospect.
Stay stoked,
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.
