Bossiney Haven Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right then, let’s have a look at the outlook for the next couple of weeks. We’re talking Bossiney Haven here. Straight up, it’s a pretty slim pickin’s situation for a while. The surf is going to be small and a bit messy, so don’t expect any magic sessions just yet.

Looking at the first proper sniff of a wave, Saturday morning the 5th of September is where it starts. We’ve got a 4ft W swell rolling in with a 10-second period, which is a bit of a groundswell, but it’s coming with a cross-shore wind. The combined energy is moderate at 350 and the conditions are described as poor. It’s a beginner-friendly break, but the quality isn’t there, so it’s a bit of a wash-out.

The afternoon cleans up a touch, with the swell dropping to 3ft from the W, still 10 seconds, and the wind turns to a light cross-offshore, making things clean. The energy is still moderate at 209, but it’s surfable, if a little ordinary. That’s your best bet for the first few days, but it’s not a standout.

Sunday the 6th is a write-off – tiny 2ft swell with a fresh breeze, no energy to speak of. The same goes for Monday the 7th. There’s a bigger 7ft W swell with a long 13-second period, and the energy jumps right up to 1487, which is strong. But the wind is a moderate cross-shore, and the conditions are marginal. The size is getting into the expert zone, but the chop will make it awful. The afternoon is similar, 7ft with a 12-second period and 1148 energy, but the wind is still cross-offshore and clean. Even so, it’s more of a challenge than a treat, and not what I’d call a highlight.

The rest of the first week and into the second is a sad story. Tuesday the 8th through to the 11th is all small, messy, or blown-out surf. The wind is a constant problem, and the swell is either too small or too short period. There’s a pulse of 6ft on Thursday the 10th, but it’s only 7-8 seconds, and the energy is moderate. Nothing to write home about.

Then we hit a real flat spell. From around the 12th of September, it’s tiny. Saturday the 12th has a 4ft WNW swell with a short 6-second period, and while the wind is offshore in the morning, it’s just not enough to get excited about. The energy is weak at 159. From Sunday the 13th onwards, the swell drops to 2ft and below, and the energy is in the weak double digits. It’s a total blank run for the next week or so.

There is a little spike in the very long range. On the 16th of September, we see a 2ft swell with a 10-second period, and the wind is fresh and cross-offshore, giving clean conditions. The energy is weak at 119. It’s still small, but it’s the cleanest we’ve seen in a while. The 18th of September has a 2ft swell with a strong offshore wind, but it’s so small it’s hard to paddle into. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual. Honestly, for the next 16 days, the best wave you’ll get is that 3ft clean one on Saturday afternoon, but it’s not a standout. The pick of the bunch is that Monday the 7th afternoon, but only if you’re an expert and don’t mind the messy conditions. Even then, it’s not a classic.

To be fair, the break is fairly consistent, so it tends not to stay this poor for long, but this run is a tough one. Hang tight, the forecasts can change.
