The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be honest right off the bat—this is a tough one for Crooklets-Bude. The whole 16-day window is a real struggle for decent waves. Apart from a couple of early morning windows that look promising, nearly every session is marked as poor surf conditions. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing much to get excited about.
The first real standout comes later on Saturday, the 15th of August. Saturday morning is the first time we see something worth paddling out for. The swell is 4ft coming from the west with a period of 8 seconds, and the wind is light and cross-offshore from the NE, keeping it clean. The combined energy of all swells directed here is moderate (217). The sets will be a bit inconsistent, but for a break that’s fairly consistent, it’s a genuine chance to get a few workable ones. Crowds are often an issue here, so expect company.
The pick of the whole outlook, though, is Sunday morning the 16th of August. This is the only session that scores a “good surf conditions” rating. The swell builds to 5ft from the west, period 8 seconds, and the wind is glassy from the southwest. That’s a major positive—glassy conditions will give you the cleanest surfaces you’ll see all forecast. The combined energy is strong (308). Sure, 5ft is getting a bit big for beginners, but for the experienced lot, this is the morning to circle. The period is moderate, so the waves will have some shape and won’t be too straight.
After that, the following Monday morning, the 17th of August, holds a similar 5ft west-northwest swell, but the wind is cross-on from the northwest, which will mess up the face. It’s a big drop-off in quality.
Water temperature at Crooklets-Bude is 65°, anomaly of 3°, so it’s a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. Not a game-changer, but a nice little bonus.
So, to sum it up: the whole 16 days is a desert with two small oases. Don’t hold your breath for the rest of it. Save your energy for the morning of the 16th—that’s the one.
Stay stoked, Rusty.
