The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks at Crackington Haven.
To be straight with you, the 16-day window looks like a tough stretch. There are no standout swells, and the wave energy is low across the whole period. We’ve got 16 days of forecast here, and honestly, there’s no session I’d recommend hauling your gear out for. The first two weeks of August are looking almost blank – that’s a long gap with nothing worth paddling out for.
The water at Crackington Haven is sitting at 65°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for the time of year.
The only time the combined energy of all swells gets above 50 (combined energy of all swells directed here: 61) is on Monday the 3rd of August, with a weak 2ft from the W at 9 seconds. But with a cross-shore breeze and poor conditions flagged, it’s not going to be clean. There’s a glassy morning on Sunday the 2nd of August, but the swell is tiny at 1ft with weak energy (23).
Later on, we see a bump in swell height to 3ft on the 12th and 13th of August, but those are onshore, short-period windswells (5-6 seconds) and the energy stays low to moderate (51 and 80). The wind is onshore and moderate, so the surf quality won’t be there. This is a beach setup, so with the size below 5ft, beginners could still have a go, but the poor conditions make it a miss for everyone.
Given the persistent poor surf conditions and low energy, Crackington Haven looks more interesting for a kite session than a proper paddle session on some of those afternoons when the wind is up, especially around the 7th and 9th of August with fresh cross-shore winds.
Overall, it’s a quiet period. Don’t get your hopes up. Forecasts can change, but right now, I’d save the wax.
Rusty.
