Bossiney Haven Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right then, let’s have a look at what Bossiney Haven’s got cookin’ for us. To be straight with you, it’s a pretty grim stretch ahead. Over the next 16 days, the model’s spitting out nothing but “poor surf conditions” for every single session. That’s a long, quiet run, and for a spot as sheltered as this one, it’s not all that unusual when the wind and swell don’t line up. There’s no real standout to get excited about, but let’s walk through it.

The water’s sitting at a touch warmer than normal for early September, about 65°, which is a nice surprise for your feet.

We start on Wednesday the 2nd of September with some chest-high swell from the WSW, around 5 ft at a weak 7 seconds. Wind’s a fresh cross-offshore, so it looks clean, but the energy’s rubbish at just 292 (weak to moderate)—it’s not gonna line up well on this west-facing bank. That same story carries through Thursday and Friday: 4 ft to 6 ft from the W, with moderate cross-shore breezes whipping up a chop. No go.

Then Saturday the 5th of September morning offers a tiny glimmer. We get a glassy morning with 4 ft of W swell at a nicer 10 seconds. The energy bumps up to 249 (moderate). It’s surfable, but just ordinary—small, weak, and only really for a beginner on a longboard. Wind shifts onshore by the afternoon and it’s gone.

From Sunday the 6th through the whole second week, it’s a series of misses: a lot of 2 ft to 3 ft slop, often with fresh to strong winds cross-shore or onshore. There’s a flash of size on the 7th and 8th with 7 ft to 7 ft from the W and WNW, and energy spiking into the 600–800 range (moderate to strong), but the wind’s always cross or cross-off at 15–22 mph, and the comment says poor conditions every time. Too lumpy to be any fun.

We see a few cleaner moments from the 12th to the 14th with 3 ft to 4 ft at 10-12 seconds, but the wind keeps it real—cross-off on the 12th, fresh breeze on the 13th and 14th. By the 15th and 16th of September, it’s mostly 2 ft–2 ft dribble with near-gale winds. A couple of days with rain showers and wind howling.

Honestly, for the whole 16-day outlook, there’s not a single session I’d tell you to paddle out for. Leave the boards in the van and maybe check back next week. Forecasts can change, but this one’s a hard pass.
