The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what Bossiney Haven has got cooking for us over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, the first ten days are a bit of a struggle. We’re looking at a long, quiet spell with hardly any energy to get excited about. The swell is tiny, the period is short, and it’s mostly just dribble. You’d be better off taking the dog for a walk. The first real sign of life doesn’t show up until Tuesday the 11th of August, and even then, it’s still pretty ordinary.
The standout window, and the only time I’d really bother waxing up, is Tuesday the 11th and Wednesday the 12th. On Tuesday morning the 11th, we get a pulse of 4ft swell from the west with a 10-second period. That’s a proper groundswell, and the energy reading of 223 (moderate) is the highest we’ll see. The wind is light and offshore from the WSW, so the conditions will be clean. It’s a small wave, but it’s the best-looking session on offer. Come Tuesday afternoon, the swell bumps up to 5ft, but the wind swings cross-shore and it gets a bit chopped, so the morning is the pick.
Wednesday the 12th morning keeps it going with another 4ft from the west and a 9-second period, with clean offshore winds from the SSW. The energy is still solid at 202. It’s not a classic, but it’s surfable. After that, the wind picks up and the swell drops off again, and the rest of the run looks pretty ordinary.
The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there. Crowds at Bossiney Haven can show up sometimes, so you might have a few mates out, but it won’t be a circus.
Don’t expect much else after the 12th. The second week is all over the place with strong winds and weak, short-period junk. Not worth chasing.
Rusty.

Information about the Bossiney Haven Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Bossiney Haven provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Bossiney Haven can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Bossiney Haven 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.

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 Bossiney Haven 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.
