The Lowdown
Alright, let’s switch to plain English for those who think in feet and miles.
Right now, truth be told, Bossiney Haven is either flat or blown out. You’re looking at a long dry spell with nothing worth paddling out for from Thursday the 27th of August until the end of the first week of September. The wind is just relentless from bad angles or the swell is puny.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Saturday the 5th of September. That morning, the swell bumps up to a solid 6 to 7 feet from the west, with an 8-second period and a combined energy reading of 628. The wind goes light and cross-offshore, making for clean, workable faces. This is the pick of the entire forecast. For a bigger wave like that, it’s better for experienced surfers, not a learner’s day.
Then, Monday the 7th of September morning rolls in with another good one: a 7 foot west swell, with a gentle offshore breeze out of the south. Energy is strong at 572. Surf will be clean and the sets will have some push. Again, at that size, you want to know what you’re doing.
Things go downhill after that. There’s a brief, smaller session on Wednesday the 9th of September morning with cleaner but smaller 3 foot waves and offshore wind, but it’s nothing compared to the weekend standout. The rest of the second week is mostly small and messy.
Water temps are running warm, too. When we get that Saturday swell, the earlier readings show the water around 66°F, which is a good 4° warmer than average for this time of year.
Bottom line: circle Saturday the 5th and Monday the 7th of September. Those are your two best shots.

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.

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.
