The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at the next couple of weeks for Bossiney Haven. It's a pretty quiet run ahead, so don't get your hopes up too high.
We’re starting off with a real flat spell. From Wednesday the 26th right through to Friday the 29th, it’s a write-off. Tiny swell, mostly under 2 ft, with a weak energy reading (41) and short 8-second periods. The water is a notable 66° – that’s a solid 4° warmer than usual for this time of year, so it feels like a bit of a late summer bath. But the waves? Not worth paddling out for.
The first real glimmer comes on Sunday the 30th. The morning shows a bit of life with a 5 ft swell from the west (10-second period) and a nice offshore wind from the SSW. The energy is moderate (408) and conditions look clean. But it’s marked as marginal, so don’t expect perfection. It’s the best of a pretty average bunch, but it’s still a beginner-friendly size.
After that, things get messy. Monday the 31st sees a jump in size to 7 ft from the west, but the wind is a cross-shore mess, and the energy is up to 800. It’s not clean, and that size is pushing into the zone where it’s more for the experienced crew. Tuesday and the rest of the week are a mix of small, choppy, or just plain messy swells. The wind is a constant problem, mostly cross-off or cross-shore, and the wave quality just isn’t there.
Looking further out, the second week of September doesn’t offer much to get excited about. The 5th of September has a 6 ft groundswell with a long 11-second period, but the wind is onshore, which kills it. By the 10th, we see a 8 ft swell from the west with a 11-second period and a massive 1190 energy reading, but again, it’s cross-onshore and choppy. That’s a big, powerful swell that’s only going to be for experts, and even then, it’s not clean.
In short, it’s a lean period. The water is warm, but the waves are mostly absent or ugly. Keep an eye on that Sunday the 30th morning for a small, clean window, but don’t hold your breath for anything else.
Rusty.
