The Lowdown
Alright, I’ll be honest with you. For Crooklets-Bude, the next 16 days are looking like a total bust. There isn’t a single session that’s worth paddling out for. It’s a real bummer.
The first glimmer of anything, and I mean anything, is over a week away on Monday, August 3rd. Before that, it’s a solid 10-day stretch with no real hope. Swell is tiny, winds are messy, and the ocean just looks flat and blown out.
That Monday the 3rd, we finally see a 3ft swell from the WSW, but it’s only called 'surfable but ordinary'. The energy is moderate at best.
Then the wind switches hard from the south on the 4th and 5th. We get a 5ft+ W/NW swell with strong energy, but it’s completely hammered by strong onshore winds. It’ll be a rough, lumpy, and choppy mess. For a beach break like Crooklets, that's really just a kiteboarding scene.
Honestly, this is one of those blank runs where the forecasts just aren't showing anything. It’s not unusual for the area, but it still stings. Keep an eye on the charts, because it can't stay this flat forever.
