Alright, Rusty here again, looking at the same charts but in feet and miles. It’s a grim picture for Crooklets-Bude over this sixteen-day period. There’s a massive gap of poor, onshore wind-affected surf at the start, and we don’t really get a decent chance until the middle of the second week.
The first day, Saturday the 4th of July, we’re looking at a weak 3 ft swell from the west, getting hammered by a 12 mph onshore breeze. The wave energy is low, and the water is 63°F, which is much warmer than average for this time of year, but that doesn’t help the quality. This small, wind-battered pattern just repeats for days. We get a brief moment of glassy conditions on the 12th, but with a 1 ft wave, it’s barely a ripple.
The entire first week is a write-off. There’s a clean window on the morning of the 8th with a glassy 5 mph breeze, but that 2 ft swell has zero power. It’s a dry spell right through to the 13th.
Your only real chance comes on the morning of Tuesday the 14th of July. We get a 2 ft west swell with a 10-second period, pushing a modest amount of energy. The wind turns offshore, a light 9 mph easterly, cleaning the faces up nicely. This beginner break will be rideable, and those clean conditions are a huge relief after this long run of poor stuff. The afternoon turns choppy again, so you need to be on it early in the day.
The end of the run around Friday the 17th shows a bump in size to 4 ft and then 5 ft from the west, but with a short period and a strong onshore wind, it’s going to be a messy, blown-out mess. Not one for paddling.
So, you’ve got a long stretch of nothing, one clean but small morning on the 14th that’s your pick, and then a return to sloppy onshore conditions. Not a good run for Crooklets-Bude.
Rusty.
