The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's take a look at what we've got coming down the line for your local stretch. I'm not gonna sugarcoat it—this 16-day window is a tough one. There's nothing here that screams "go time," and a lot of it is just plain ugly.
For a beginner-friendly spot like Crooklets-Bude, we're looking at a long stretch of poor conditions. The first surf on offer kicks off on Saturday the 12th, and honestly, it's a rough start. From Saturday the 12th all the way through to the morning of Thursday the 24th, every single session is rated as poor. That’s twelve straight days of choppy, lumpy, or just generally unappealing surf. The wind is mostly cross-onshore or onshore, and the quality is just not there. The only bright spot in that whole stretch is that the water temp is sitting at 65°, which is 4° warmer than normal for this time of year—so at least you won't freeze while you're getting worked.
We don't really get a sniff of anything decent until Friday the 25th. For the morning session, the swell drops to 0.8 ft from the west with a period of 10 seconds. The wind goes light and clean, turning off-shore from the SSE. It's the first time we see the word "clean" in this whole forecast. The combined swell energy is weak at 113, so don't expect any power, but at least the surface will be smooth. The afternoon on the 25th gets a bit scrappy again with a cross-shore wind, so your window is tight.
After that, it's back to the doldrums. The rest of the run shows small, weak swells and messy wind. There is no standout session in this whole outlook. For a spot that’s fairly consistent, this is a rough patch, but forecasts can change. For now, keep your board in the car and your expectations low.
Rusty out.
