Today's score by level (at the day's best, out of 100)
A magnificent protected coastal zone with spectacular dunes at the mouth of the Pas estuary. Very good beach break with multiple peaks depending on sandbars and tide.
Autumn and winter deliver the best conditions, with long powerful swells from the north.
Good level required. You can stand, paddle and read a peak. When it fires, better know what you're doing.
Easy beach access, parking usually nearby. Ask locally about seasonal currents.
Wear an appropriate wetsuit. Scout the currents before you paddle out. Respect the locals and right-of-way. Check weather and tides.
Liencres usually works best around mid-tide. The tide shapes the sandbanks and the depth over the reef, so check the day's tide times before your session.
Liencres is rather recommended for intermediate surfers. If you're a beginner, prefer a surf school, a small swell and a suitable tide, or look for a more sheltered nearby spot.
The ideal wind at Liencres comes broadly from South: it's offshore, which helps shape and hold the waves. A strong onshore wind generally degrades conditions.
Around Liencres, you can also check conditions at Suances, El Sardinero, Somo. Compare the scores, wind and swell direction before choosing where to surf.
