The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – we’ve got a long run of small, choppy, or just plain messy surf ahead, with one very clear standout.
Right now, we’re looking at a 16-day window that starts with a grim run. For the first 12 days, from Saturday 1st August right through to Wednesday morning 12th August, it’s pretty much a write-off. We are talking mostly tiny swells, periods under 9 seconds, and a lot of cross-onshore or onshore wind. You’ll see a spot of glass on Monday morning 3rd August at Crooklets-Bude, with a clean 2ft glassy wave from the W, but it’s so small the energy is weak (59). It’s just not worth paddling out for.
After that, the wind stays messy and the swell doesn't get its act together. There’s a spike in energy on Wednesday 5th and Thursday 6th August (184 to 254), but that’s all blown-out 4ft to 5ft W-WNW swell with fresh onshores and short 7-second periods. That’s more of a kite-surfing wind-lump than a proper surf.
Now, Thursday 13th August is where it gets interesting. Thursday morning we finally see a bit of life at Crooklets-Bude. The swell picks up to a clean 3ft from the WSW, but the real gem is the wind – it’s glassy. Slight air, no chop, and the energy is moderate (109). It's not huge, but those conditions are rare in this run – clean, open faces with a gentle offshore touch from the SW. That Thursday morning session is your only real shot at something decent.
Friday 14th through Sunday 16th August sees the biggest swell of the window – up to 7ft from the WNW on Sunday morning with strong energy (444). But that’s all blown out with onshore winds, making it a messy, lumpy mess. Too big for beginners and not clean enough for experts.
So here’s the call: The standout is Thursday morning 13th August at Crooklets-Bude. That glassy 3ft WSW swell (109 energy) is the cleanest we’ll see. It’s not a monster, but it’s surfable, it’s glassy, and after this long flat and choppy run, it’s the one to set your alarm for.
Rusty.
