The Lowdown
Alright, let’s talk about Bossiney Haven in feet and miles per hour, because that’s how some of you think. The water’s a balmy 66°, which is about 4° warmer than normal for this time of year – your wetsuit’s going to feel like a summer shirt.
It’s a grim start, though. For the first week, there’s no surf to speak of. We’re talking ankle-snappers at best – 0.3ft to 2ft – with hardly any energy behind them. The wind is all over the place, mostly onshore, keeping things choppy and frustrating. You’re gonna be sitting on the beach watching the ocean do nothing.
The real window opens up on Thursday, September 5th, in the morning. That’s a full seven days of flatness to get through. But that morning, we get a 5ft groundswell from the west with a 11-second period, and a clean offshore breeze from the SSW at 19 mph. The energy reading jumps to 584, which is the biggest we’ll see all forecast. That’s a proper wave – too big for the grommets, but for anyone with a bit of experience, that’s going to be a clean, lined-up session. The wind will be blowing right off the land, keeping the face smooth for as long as the tide allows. The afternoon goes to shit with heavy rain and onshore wind, so you’ve got a tight window.
After that, it’s back to small, lumpy conditions. So, one morning to get excited about, and that’s it. Mark it down.

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.
