Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Crackington Haven over the next couple of weeks.
To be straight with you, this stretch is looking pretty flat and uninspiring for the foreseeable future. The swell is tiny, the wind is mostly rubbish, and there’s just nothing to get excited about. We’re looking at a long, long gap of poor conditions right from the start, stretching out for over a week with barely a wave worth paddling for.
The first day that even gets a sniff of something is Wednesday the 8th of July. Tuesday the 7th is a write-off – tiny 2ft swell with a cross-onshore breeze making it choppy and poor. Water temp is sitting at 63°, which is a touch warmer than normal for the time of year.
Wednesday morning on the 8th is the closest we get to anything decent. Glassy conditions, with a light 2ft swell from the west, period around 9 seconds. Combined wave energy is weak at 63. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. The wind goes cross-onshore in the afternoon and messes it up again.
Thursday the 9th and Friday the 10th offer similar tiny windows – glassy spells on Friday morning with a 3ft west swell and energy creeping up to 107, which is still weak. But the waves are just small and lack any punch. It’s all very forgettable.
After that, from Saturday the 11th right through to Tuesday the 22nd of July, we’re mostly below 2ft, with onshore or cross-off winds that don’t do the shape any favours. The swell direction changes to the north and northeast, but the sizes are pathetic – 1ft, 1ft, and energy levels dipping into the teens and single digits. There’s a few clean spells, but with waves that small, it’s a flat calm. Not worth getting the board wet.
For a beginner-friendly spot like Crackington Haven, any swell over 5ft would be too much, but we don’t even get close. Everything here is tiny and weak. There’s no standout, no gem hiding in this forecast. It’s a full-on blank run. The consistency here is fairly consistent normally, but forecasts can change, so don’t give up hope entirely.
