Table - best surf conditions forecast for Carbis Bay over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a pretty grim picture for the whole 16-day window. We’re looking at a long, dry spell with no real surf to get excited about. The waves are tiny, the wind is almost always messy, and the forecast is just one big shrug. It’s honestly one of those stretches where you’re better off checking the tide charts for a good beach walk than unstrapping your board.
We’re kicking off with Carbis Bay. The water temp is sitting at 61°F which is pretty much where you’d expect it to be for this time of year, so no nasty surprises there. But that’s where the good news ends. Thursday the 9th sees a tiny 3ft swell from the WNW with a 10-second period. The combined swell energy is a weak 125, and with a light breeze on it, the conditions are just poor. Friday the 10th isn’t any better, with a similar 3ft swell from the W and wind already starting to get on it. The energy stays weak at 139.
Saturday the 11th is a write-off. The swell gets a bit bumpy, but the wind is a stiff 12 mph cross-onshore, making it choppy and uninviting. The swell is a messy mix, and the energy is still a paltry 165. From Sunday the 12th all the way through to the end of the forecast on the 24th of July, it’s the same story: tiny waves, often under 2ft, with periods all over the place and wind that’s constantly cross-onshore or just plain messy. Everything is flagged as "poor surf conditions." There's no standout, no window, no hope for a good session anywhere in this period.
The one slightly interesting thing is that on the 15th and 16th, the wind goes a little more cross-offshore, which would clean the surface up. But the waves are so small, like 0.7ft to 1ft, it’s barely a ripple. The combined energy drops to 38 and 44, which is just whisper-quiet. Even a clean ankle-snapper isn't gonna get you out of bed.
So, to sum it up: there’s nothing here. No standouts, no best options. Just a long gap of flat, windy, or messy conditions. For a spot like Carbis Bay, it’s a normal blank run. The forecasts can change, but right now, don’t bother waxing up.
Rusty.

Information about the Carbis Bay Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Carbis Bay provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Carbis Bay can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Carbis Bay 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 (Carbis Bay) 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 Carbis Bay 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.
Carbis Bay is 10 km (6 miles) from Camborne. If you plan a holiday in North Cornwall, look for hotels and other accommodation in Camborne. Camborne has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
