The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, switching to feet and miles for the imperial crew. Bossiney Haven is looking at a real dry spell. The entire 16-day forecast is a washout for surf, with every single session flagged as poor. No standouts, no hidden gems, just a long flat run.
Monday the 3rd kicks off with a 2ft west swell, period of 9 seconds, and combined energy of just 55. It’s clean with light cross-off winds, but it’s tiny. Wednesday the 5th sees the swell jump to 6ft from the west, but the period is a short 7 seconds, and with 30 km/h cross-shore winds, it’s just a lumpy, choppy mess. Thursday the 6th has a 5ft west-northwest swell with a poor 6-second period and onshore winds. Friday the 7th goes glassy but with a tiny 1ft swell – not enough to push you.
The second week repeats the pattern. Saturday the 8th is flat at 0.7ft. Sunday the 9th has a 3ft west swell, but the energy is weak. Water temp is 18°C, a touch warmer than normal, but it doesn’t help the waves. The 16th of August offers a 4ft north-northwest swell in the afternoon, but the period is short at 6 seconds and the wind is a moderate cross-onshore, making it choppy. With that setup, you’d be better off on a kite than a surfboard. For a straight-up surf report, there’s nothing to call a winner. A total blank run like this is par for the course when the conditions don’t line up at this sheltered spot. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s 16 days of nothing.
Rusty.

Information about the Bossiney Haven Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Bossiney Haven provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Bossiney Haven can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Bossiney Haven surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Bossiney Haven) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Bossiney Haven may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
