Table - best surf conditions forecast for Crackington Haven over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – this forecast is a tough read. We're looking at Crackington Haven right now and honestly, it's a bit of a desert for paddle surfing for the next two weeks. There's no action starting out and a long, quiet spell stretches well into the third week of July.
The one tiny blip of something rideable is on the morning of Wednesday, July 8th. We're talking a tiny 2ft swell rolling in from the west, with a period of 9 seconds. The combined wave energy is super weak at just 63, so there's barely any push. What makes it even remotely interesting is that the wind is glassy, just 3 mph out of the WNW. That means the surface will be clean as a whistle. The water temp is sitting at 63°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that's a small bonus. Honestly, for a total beginner just wanting to bob around on a foamie, it might be a laugh, but that's about it.
After that Wednesday morning window, it falls away again. There's a little bump on Friday the 10th morning with a 3ft west swell, cleaner with a light cross-offshore breeze, and the energy ticks up to a moderate 106. It's surfable, but still very ordinary. Beyond that, the pattern is all poor conditions. Even when the swell tries to show a pulse, the wind is wrong onshore, or it's blown out.
Then way out on Thursday the 23rd of July, we see a big jump in the numbers. A 7ft west swell is forecast, with the combined energy rocketing to 617! That's a serious amount of water moving. But here's the kicker – that afternoon, you've got 25 mph winds from the southwest making it messy. The period is short at 8 seconds, so it'll be lumpy and unorganized. With waves over 5ft and those horrible winds, this is strictly for experts and honestly, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. The morning of that day is a little smaller at 3ft but still has a fresh cross-breeze. It's a long way off, so treat it as a promising but less certain possibility.
Right now, nothing here is a standout. It's a quiet period for the area.
