Bossiney Haven Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's get into it. We've got a bit of a flat spell on the cards for Bossiney Haven over the next two weeks, so don't get your hopes up too high. This is a sheltered spot and it looks like we’re in for a long stretch of mostly small, weak swells and less-than-ideal wind.

The water’s feeling pretty warm for this time of year, sitting at about 63°F, which is much warmer than normal. That’s a nice touch for a paddle, but it won't do much for the waves.

Looking at the forecast, things kick off on Saturday the 4th of July. We’ve got a westerly swell at about 2 ft with a 10-second period, but the wind’s howling from the west at 16 mph, making for a cross-chop. It’s a write-off. The combined swell energy is moderate but weak at 134, and the overall conditions are just poor. Sunday the 5th is even smaller at about 2 ft with a 9-second period and the wind stays cross, so it’s basically the same story – not worth paddling out.

We go through the whole next week with nothing but about 2 ft to 3 ft waves, short periods mostly around 5-9 seconds, and cross or onshore winds. The swell energy stays low, often in the 40s to 70s. Monday the 6th morning is a bit cleaner with a cross-offshore breeze, but the swell is tiny at about 2 ft. Early on Wednesday the 8th we get a brief glassy morning, but again, it’s about 2 ft – barely a ripple.

There’s a slight bump on Saturday the 11th, with the swell puffing up to about 4 ft, but it’s coming from the NNW with a pitiful 6-second period. That’s short-period windswell, all chop and no shape, and the wind is cross-onshore. Even with the combined energy hitting 135, it’s still poor conditions. This setup might look more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, to be honest.

After that, it’s back to tiny waves for the rest of the run, with the occasional clean window. Thursday the 16th morning has a gentle offshore breeze from the south, but the swell is only about 1 ft. Then on Saturday the 18th, we get a faint pulse of longer-period groundswell – about 0.7 ft from the WNW at 13 seconds. That’s a long period, which means good shape if there was any size, but 0.7 ft isn't even a ripple. The combined energy is a weak 38.

Honestly, there are no standouts here. If you’re desperate for a splash, the cleanest moments are probably the glassy morning on Wednesday the 8th of July, or the cross-offshore days around the 14th and 15th, but don't expect any surfable waves. The whole period is a gap of poor to nonexistent surf. Bossiney Haven is a beginner-friendly spot when it’s on, but it’s been completely flat for the foreseeable future.

Keep an eye on the charts – it tends not to stay this poor for long.

Rusty.
