The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Bossiney Haven's got cookin' for us over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch ahead for this corner of the coast. The water's sitting at 66°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that's about the only thing that's comfortable. The first proper swell doesn't even show up until Wednesday the 12th, so we're looking at a dry spell from now until then. That's nearly a week of flat, poor conditions where you'd be better off waxing your board at home.
Wednesday the 12th morning finally sees some life, with a 3ft swell rolling in from the west. The combined energy is moderate (153), but the wind is a cross-onshore from the NW, so it's gonna be choppy and messy. Thursday the 13th is a bit better – still a 3ft west swell, but the wind goes light and cross, making for a cleaner, less bumpy surface. Energy picks up too (206). For a beginner spot, this is about as good as it gets in this outlook, but honestly, it's still just "ordinary."
Friday the 14th morning is a tease – glassy conditions with a 3ft west swell, but the energy is weak (89) and the period is short. It'll be clean but fat and weak. After that, the wind swings onshore or cross-onshore for days, and while the swell tries to build again around the 17th and 18th, the wind just ruins it.
The one standout, if you can call it that, is Tuesday morning the 18th. We get a 4ft west swell with a clean offshore breeze from the south. The energy is moderate (179), and the period is a workable 8 seconds. For Bossiney Haven, this is the best shot. It's a sheltered beginner wave, so an offshore wind will really clean it up. Just know that this spot can get crowded sometimes, so get out early. The swell direction (W) matches what this break likes to see.
From the 19th onwards, it's just a slog of onshore winds and choppy, lumpy seas. The swell sticks around at 3ft to 4ft, but with a fresh cross-onshore wind, you're looking at a washing machine. Not worth the paddle.
So, to sum it up: we've got a long flat spell, then a window from Wednesday the 12th to Tuesday the 18th where you might find a rideable wave. Tuesday the 18th morning is your best bet for clean conditions. Don't expect any magic. This is a spot that can go quiet, so a blank run like this isn't totally unusual for the area. Forecasts can change, though, so keep an eye on it.
Rusty.
