The Lowdown
Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Bossiney Haven over the next couple of weeks. I have to be straight with you – it’s a grim start for this sheltered little beginner spot. The first real chance of anything rideable doesn’t show up until Thursday, July 24th, and even then it’s just a whisper.
For the first ten days or so, we’re looking at tiny dribble. Mostly 1ft of weak, short-period windswell, hacked up by onshore and cross-shore breezes. The wind just won’t play ball. There are a couple of glassy moments – Friday morning July 17th sees a flat calm with 2ft swell but it’s from the NNW with only a 5-second period, so barely any push. You’d be sitting there waiting for a ripple. A similar glassy patch shows up on Tuesday July 21st with 1ft from the west, but again, it’s got no energy (combined energy of all swells directed here is just 22). Don’t get your hopes up.
The one standout in this entire 16-day window lands on Monday, July 27th. That morning we get a proper pulse: 6ft of swell from the west, with an 8-second period and a combined energy of 401 – that’s moderate wave energy finally hitting the coast. The wind is a clean cross-offshore from the WSW, which will clean the faces up nice. Now, this is a beginner spot, and 6ft is pushing the limit for less experienced surfers, but for anyone who’s got their pop-up dialed, this is the only window worth marking on the calendar. The afternoon holds at 6ft but the breeze picks up to 16 mph, still cross-off though. Tuesday July 28th is smaller at 4ft with a longer 10-second period, but the wind is fresh and cross-off again, so it’ll be clean but weaker.
Water temperature is unremarkable for the time of year, nothing to mention there.
Bottom line: if you’re desperate for a paddle, wait for that Monday July 27th morning. The rest is a write-off for a sheltered spot like this. A longer-period west swell would ideally be better at a point or reef, but this is the only game in town. It’s a long wait, but that one session might just reward you.

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.
