The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Bossiney Haven.
Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – it’s a tough stretch ahead. The forecast is showing a whole lot of nothing for the next couple of weeks. We’re looking at a proper run of flat, weak conditions that just won’t get the blood pumping. For a spot that’s already pretty sheltered, this is a real bummer.
The first week and a half is basically a write-off. From Tuesday the 21st right through to the end of July, the swell is tiny, mostly under 2 feet, and what little bump there is comes with short, weak periods of 4 to 8 seconds. The combined energy is practically non-existent, barely cracking double digits – we’re talking 10 to 39 (weak energy). It’s all showing as “poor surf conditions” and honestly, that’s putting it kindly. Even on Thursday the 23rd morning when the wind goes glassy, there’s just no swell to work with. The water temp is sitting at 64°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s small comfort when you’re staring at a flat ocean.
We do see a little bump in the second week. Around Sunday the 2nd of August, the swell height starts to nudge up to 4 feet from the W, with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 225 (moderate wave energy), which is the most we see in the whole window. But here’s the kicker – the wind is cross-shore at 15 mph, so it’s going to be a messy, choppy affair. That’s not the kind of clean, lined-up surf you want. It’s more of a grunt session than a classic day out.
So, looking at the entire 16 days, there isn’t a single standout. There’s no day where the stars align – good swell, clean wind, and decent break quality. This is a time to leave the boards in the garage, maybe go for a walk along the cliffs, and wait for the next proper weather system to roll in. The forecast can change, but right now, it’s a long, flat wait.

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.
