The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here for the imperial low-down on Crooklets-Bude. We’ve got a dry spell to start. Nothing worth paddling out for in the first week and a half. Just messy onshore wind and tiny weak swell that’ll leave you floating.
The one real standout is the morning of September 2nd—a Wednesday. The break delivers a west swell about 6ft with a period around 8 seconds. The wind is light from the south-southwest, just a gentle breeze crossing the wave, so the surface stays mostly clean. The energy reading is 491, which is moderate. Water temp feels average for the season. It’s only a marginal call with some tide issues and a slight cross-chop, but for this whole window, this is it. Crooklets is fairly consistent and it’s a beginner-friendly spot, so it’s good for the learner crowd. The swell direction lines up with what the break likes best.
After that, it’s back to onshore wind and grumpy conditions for the rest of the forecast period.
Rusty out.
