The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at the stretch ahead for Crooklets-Bude. To be straight with you, the next week and a half is a bit of a grind. There’s swell on the way, but the wind and the sea state are going to be working against us for most of it. We’re looking at a lot of cross-onshore and onshore wind, which is going to mess up what would otherwise be some decent sized waves. We’ll see a peak in the swell around Wednesday the 16th, with the energy jumping to 746, but it’s going to be lumpy and messy. That’s the trade-off.
The first real chance of something clean doesn’t show up until Monday the 21st. We’re looking at small surf, around 2ft, but the wind finally swings offshore from the southeast. It’s not much, but it’s clean. Then, Tuesday the 22nd morning is where it gets interesting. The swell bumps up a touch to 3ft, but the real story is the glassy conditions with that light ESE breeze. The water’s much warmer than normal for this time of year, which is a nice bonus. We've got a long-period west swell at 12 seconds, which should give the waves a bit more push. It’s not big, but it’ll be the cleanest surf we’ve seen in days.
The following morning, Wednesday the 23rd, also looks clean and glassy with a small 3ft west swell. It’s more of the same, tiny but tidy. And again on Thursday the 24th, we have another morning of glassy conditions with a 3ft west swell. These mornings are your best bet for a splashing session.
After that, it peters out again. The winds go a bit variable, but the swell drops right off. By the 27th, it’s tiny, and the long-range stuff for the end of the month is too small and weak to get excited about. The 29th has some longer period energy at 14 seconds, but we’re talking 2ft, not enough to do much with.
So, the short version is: it’s a rough start, but don’t sleep on the mornings of the 22nd, 23rd, and 24th. They’re the standout windows in this forecast, with clean, glassy conditions and small but fun waves. If you're a beginner, this is the time to be out. For the more experienced crew, it's a longboard and a grovel board situation. After that, the taps turn off.
This is Rusty, signing off. Keep it salty.
