The Lowdown
Alright, this is a tough one to write, folks. I'm looking at the whole 16-day window for Bossiney Haven, and I've got to be straight with you – it's pretty bleak. We've got a long stretch here where the surf just isn't going to be worth paddling out for.
The whole period is looking flat and weak. The water is sitting about a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, which is nice for a dip, but not much help for the waves. The combined energy readings are almost always in the single-digit or low double-digit range – that's weak stuff, with nothing pushing past moderate. For example, through most of the first week and into the second, the energy is barely registering, often just `7`.
The first real sniff of anything comes on Monday, July 29th morning, with a 0.7m west swell. But that's paired with strong cross-shore winds and messy chop. The energy climbs to 102, but the conditions sound terrible. It's a shame, because the direction is right for this spot, but the wind kills it. That afternoon and the following days see the energy dropping back down.
Honestly, throughout all this, it's "poor surf conditions" on every single record. The swell barely cracks 3 ft at the best of times and the period is often short, mostly under 8 seconds, meaning weak, crumbly waves. We get a few glassy mornings, like Tuesday the 22nd and Friday the 24th, but they coincide with tiny 0.6 ft to 2 ft swells. You'd be bobbing around more than surfing.
This is a sheltered spot, and with no real groundswell on the cards and the wind being mostly onshore or cross, it's just not happening. For a beginner looking for a float in the summer, maybe you could mess around on a foamie during one of those tiny glassy windows, but there's nothing here for anyone wanting a proper wave.
Don't lose hope though, Bossiney can fire when the conditions line up – it's just not in this forecast.
