The Lowdown
Oi, Rusty here. Let's be straight with you: this is a grim outlook for Bossiney Haven. We've got a 16-day window and pretty much nothing to get excited about.
The whole run is a write-off. The swell sticks around waist-to-chest high for the first week or so, but the wind is never your friend. It's cross-off or worse, constantly onshore or cross-shore and lumpy. There's a stretch from midday Sunday the 14th right through to the morning of Saturday the 20th where the wind is just junk. That's nearly six days of poor conditions. The wave energy is moderate at best, hitting values like 395 (moderate) mid-week, but it doesn't matter when the surface is a mess.
There's a glimmer on the morning of Sunday the 20th. The wind swings offshore (S at 12 mph), and the swell is 5ft from the WNW with a 10-second period. The water is a balmy 64°, which is a solid 4° warmer than usual for this time of year – that's notably warm. The combined energy is 386 (moderate). The report calls it "surfable waves but very ordinary conditions", so even then it's a low expectation session. Bossiney Haven is a sheltered beginner spot, fairly consistent, and gets a W swell best. The crowd factor is "sometimes", so you might have it quiet, but for this one brief window, you'd be scratching for a clean little peak.
After that, it's a steep drop. By Monday the 22nd, there's a pulse of 8ft on the morning with a short 7-second period, but it's a north wind straight onshore and the wave energy gets up to 586 (moderate-strong). That's a messy, blown-out wall for experts only, and the onshore wind will make it a grinding closeout. Then we're into total flatness for days – Tuesday the 24th through Sunday the 28th you're looking at ankle-to-knee high dribble with energy readings in the teens and twenties. The wind finally shows some clean offshore or cross-off on the 25th and 26th, but there is no swell to ride.
Honestly, there is no standout. The only half-decent chance is the morning of the 20th of September, but I wouldn't bother driving out for it. For this area, a blank run like this is pretty normal when the conditions don't line up.
Rusty.
