Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the outlook for Carbis Bay.
Honestly, for the next sixteen days, the surf is looking pretty flat and messy. The first real recommended swell doesn’t show up for a while, and even then, it’s a struggle. We’re looking at a long stretch of nothing special to start – about a week where the waves are just too small and the wind is all wrong. The first standout, if you can call it that, is on Wednesday morning, 15th July. But let's be straight – it’s not much.
The surf stays poor right through Tuesday, 14th July. We’ve got southwesterly swells trying to push in, but they’re tiny. On the 7th and 8th of July, we see small 2 ft and 3 ft swell from the west and west-northwest, but the wind is cross or cross-onshore, making it choppy and poor. The energy is weak – readings like 81, 75, 120 (moderate energy) – and the period is short, under 10 seconds, so no real push.
The only time things get even a little interesting is from the 15th of July onward. Wednesday morning, 15th July, we get a rare break. The wind swings to a light cross-offshore from the WSW at 9 mph, and the surf is clean. Swell is a tiny 2 ft from the north with a period of just 6 seconds, and the energy is puny (74). It’s inconsistent, and it’s a beginner break anyway, so don’t expect much. Still, clean conditions. The afternoon stays clean too, with a 2 ft north swell and cross-offshore WNW wind 12 mph. This is the best you’ll get – and it’s nothing to write home about.
After that, from the 16th of July through to the 22nd, it’s back to tiny, weak swells (1.0 ft to 2 ft) with periods mostly under 8 seconds. The wind is cross or cross-offshore at times, but the wave energy is in the double digits – 12, 11, 24, 34. Just not enough to get excited about.
So, bottom line: the one window is Wednesday, 15th of July, with a clean, tiny, inconsistent swell. That’s your best bet. Otherwise, it’s a long, flat run. Keep an eye on it – forecasts can change, and this area can sneak in a surprise, but right now it’s looking very quiet.

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.
