The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for Crooklets-Bude.
Honestly, it’s a grim stretch ahead. We’re lookin’ at a solid 12 days of poor surf conditions before anything even remotely worth paddling out for shows up. That’s a long, flat, lumpy gap. The swell sticks around, but the wind is just a killer – mostly onshore and cross-onshore, keeping things choppy and messy. There’s a bit of size, but it’s junk.
The only glimmer comes right at the tail end. On Tuesday the 15th of September, we finally see a glassy morning. The wind drops to zero – dead calm. Swell is a weak 4 ft from the west with a 9-second period, energy is a measly 185. It’s surfable, but very ordinary. Then Wednesday the 16th of September morning is glassy again, with a tiny 3 ft west swell, 10-second period, energy down to 131. Again, surfable, but you’ll be workin’ for it.
The water temp is about 65° at the start, and that anomaly of 4° means it’s much warmer than normal for this time of year – feels like a late summer treat, but the waves don’t match the warmth.
So, the standout, if you can call it that, is Tuesday the 15th of September morning. Glassy conditions, a bit of west swell. It’s a beginner-friendly spot by nature, and the wind will be perfect. The swell direction is west, which is the optimum for this break. It’s small, but clean. Keep your expectations in check.
No other days are worth gettin’ excited about. It’s a rough run, but forecasts can change – sometimes the ocean throws a surprise.
Rusty.
