The Lowdown
Alright surfers, Rusty here. Let's get straight into it. We've got a bit of a mixed bag coming our way for the next couple of weeks over at Crooklets-Bude.
Honestly, the first week is a write-off. The wind is going to be a nightmare, blowing hard from the west and northwest for days on end, trashing any chance of decent waves. We're looking at a solid run of poor surf conditions from Tuesday the 15th right through to Sunday the 21st, with the waves being blown out, onshore, and generally messy. You won't want to paddle out in that.
The first real glimmer of hope arrives on Tuesday the 22nd. That morning is the standout. We've got a glassy, clean start to the day with a 3ft west swell riding in on a period of 12 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 324, but it's that glassy wind that makes the difference – absolutely perfect conditions. This is your best bet for the whole outlook.
After that, Wednesday the 23rd looks decent too, with a light offshore breeze from the east keeping things clean. The swell is 4ft from the west with a nice 13-second period (moderate energy at 501), offering some clean, fun little waves for a morning session. Thursday the 24th drops back down and the wind picks up again, so don't get too excited.
Now, looking further out, there’s a huge red flag for Monday the 28th. The forecast is showing a 13ft west swell slamming the coast with massive energy readings of 3023 and 3262. That is way, *way* too big for a spot like Crooklets-Bude. It’s not just for experts; it’s dangerous. That morning, the wind looks okay, but the swell size is a serious problem. Avoid that like the plague.
The very tail end of the outlook on the 29th and 30th sees the swell dropping back to 5ft to 8ft, but with mixed wind conditions and questionable tides. Nothing really stands out after that first Tuesday.
So, to wrap it up: don't bother this week. Mark your calendar for Tuesday the 22nd – that morning is the real deal for a clean, glassy session. Wednesday the 23rd is a solid backup. Everything else is either blown out or way too big. Keep an eye on the forecasts, they can change, but for now, that's the pick.
