Alright, let's take a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
Right now, it's pretty flat and messy, so we're not getting much of a start. The first few days are a write-off – Monday the 6th has some tiny, weak, bumpy waves with poor conditions. That stays the story for a good while. We’ve got a real dry spell running from Monday the 6th right through until Thursday the 16th. That’s a long stretch of nada.
We finally see a pulse of energy around Friday the 17th, but the wind is onshore and the quality is still poor. Don’t get your hopes up for that.
The one true standout is a long way off, but it’s looking like the real deal. Tuesday, 21st July is the day to circle on the calendar. Crackington Haven should get a clean, solid 8 ft swell from the west, and we're looking at a gentle offshore wind from the ESE. That’s a game changer. The combined energy will be strong at 780, and the 9-second period will give it some decent shape. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year at 63°, which is a nice bonus. Keep in mind, it's a beach break, and with a swell over 8 ft, this one is for experienced surfers only – it'll be too much for beginners. Crowds can be an issue here sometimes, so on a day like that, expect plenty of company.
Before that, there’s a smaller window on Monday the 20th with 7 ft swell, but the cross-on wind and chop will make it a messy, onshore affair. Not worth the drive.
So, in short: the next ten days are a bust. Hang in there, and get ready for a proper session on the 21st if the forecasts hold.
