The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let me break down the next 16 days for us.
Straight up, it’s a tough run for Bossiney Haven. We’re looking at a long stretch of small, sloppy surf with constant onshore or cross-shore wind. There’s very little to get excited about for the first week and a half. The water temp is sitting at 64° at the start, which is a touch warmer than normal for the time of year, so the water feels alright, but the waves are just not playing ball.
From Saturday the 18th all the way through to Wednesday the 29th of July, it’s pretty grim. Wave heights are mostly under 3 feet, periods are short, and the wind is junk—mostly from the north or NNW, which is straight onshore. The combined energy is in the double digits or barely cracking 100 (weak), showing just how little power there is. You’re looking at closed-out, weak surf day after day.
The first real glimmer of hope shows up on the morning of Thursday the 30th of July. A new swell from the WNW bumps things up to about 5 feet, with the wind swinging around to the south, blowing offshore. Clean conditions for once, and the combined energy jumps to 292 (moderate). The period is still short at 7 seconds, so it’s not going to be a groundswell of any real quality, but it’ll be clean and surfable. This is the best window we’ve got, but it’s not a standout. The break itself is sheltered, so it handles the swell direction okay, and the wind being offshore here is a major positive for the face of the wave.
After that, the window closes quick. Friday the 31st, the wind swings back onshore and the quality drops off a cliff. The first week of August looks like it’s back to square one with small, choppy surf.
To be honest, the only time to even bother paddling out in this whole 16-day run is Thursday the 30th of July. It’s not gonna be perfect, but it’s the closest we get to decent. For the rest of it, maybe just leave the board in the car.
Rusty.
