The Lowdown
Alright, let's call it like it is. This is a tough 16-day outlook for Bossiney Haven. The pattern is straightforward: it's flat and messy. There’s nothing here worth paddling out for. The first bit of surf shows up on Wednesday afternoon, 29th July, but it's a tiny 2 ft west swell at 8 seconds with a cross-shore wind. The combined swell energy is a weak 50, and the water is 64°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. But the whole thing is just poor.
That sets the stage for a long gap of nothing. From Wednesday the 29th all the way to Friday the 7th of August, it’s tiny and choppy. The swell barely gets to 2 ft, the period is short, and the energy readings are all under 100. It’s cross-on or onshore winds the whole time. There’s a glass-off on Sunday the 2nd of August, but with only 1 ft of swell and 23 units of energy, it’s flat and clean. Not much use.
The only change comes on the 7th of August when a cross-offshore wind from the ESE cleans up the faces. But we’re talking about a 0.7 ft swell with only 10 units of energy. It’s a ripple. This cleaner pattern holds through the weekend of August 8th and 9th, and the best moment is Saturday the 8th of August afternoon: 2 ft from the WSW, a 10-second period, clean cross-off winds, and the energy climbs to 84. That’s as good as it gets, but it’s still extremely weak and small—beginners only.
After that, the energy crashes into single digits. The whole setup is so poor and weak that for paddle surfing, you’re wasting your time. With all that cross-shore wind, it looks more like a kite surfing spot than a surfing one.
So, the honest truth is there are no standouts. There is no good surf in this 16-day window. It’s a rare, flat run for the area, but it happens. Keep your board ready; forecasts change.

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. Our Bossiney Haven surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Bossiney Haven) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. 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.
