The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for Bossiney Haven over the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I’ve got to be straight with you – this is a tough stretch. We’re looking at a solid 16-day run where the surf just doesn’t show up with any real punch. The swell energy is weak, barely cracking into the double digits (49 is the highest early on), and the wave heights are tiny. You’re going to see a lot of flat spells.
For the first week, from Friday, 31 July right through to Thursday, 6 August, the swell is tiny. We’re talking about 0.7ft to 2ft from the west or west-southwest, with periods that are mostly short, around 7 to 10 seconds. The wind is a problem too – mostly cross-on or onshore, keeping things choppy or at best clean but small. There’s a little moment on Sunday morning, 2 August, with a light offshore breeze, but the swell is only 1ft. It’s clean, but you’re basically bobbing around on nothing.
The second week isn’t any kinder. From Friday, 7 August onward, the swell stays below 3ft, with the biggest spike being 4ft on Monday morning, 10 August, from the north-northwest. That’s still small, and the period is a short 5 seconds – that’s windswell, not real groundswell. The combined energy hits 75, which is still weak. You’ll see some clean conditions with offshore winds on that Monday, but the waves are just too weak and crumbly to get excited about.
Honestly, if you’re desperate for a paddle, the best of a bad bunch is probably that Monday, 10 August, morning. The wind is offshore from the south-southeast, so it’ll be clean, and the swell is 4ft. But it’s short-period and weak. For a beginner, that’s a safe little wave, but it’s not going to get anyone’s heart racing.
The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so no wetsuit surprises there.
Given the persistent lack of swell and the poor quality, this stretch of Cornwall looks a lot more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer. The wind is consistent, but the waves just aren’t there for us.
Rusty.
