The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. We’re looking at the next 16 days at Crooklets-Bude, and I’ve got to be straight with you – it’s a tough watch for a while. The first week or so is pretty much a write-off for any decent surf, with a real lack of size and energy. We’re looking at a gap of about 6 days before we see anything that’s even worth a second look. The water temp is sitting around 64°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won’t be freezing while you’re staring at a flat ocean.
The first real glimmer of hope, and it’s a faint one, shows up on the morning of Monday, July 27th. The swell bumps up to 3 ft from the WNW, with a combined energy of 154 (moderate), and the wind is a light cross-off from the NNE. That’ll keep the surface clean. It’s not a standout by any stretch, just a surfable wave in very ordinary conditions. The rest of that week is back to small, choppy, and cross-on.
We get another little spike early on the morning of Tuesday, July 28th with glassy conditions and a 1 ft WNW swell, but again, it’s just too small to get excited about. The best on offer, if you can call it that, is that Monday the 27th. It’s the biggest and cleanest we see for a long time, but with a period of only 8 seconds, it’s not going to have much push. Crowds are listed as “often” here, so expect company if you’re even thinking about paddling out.
The rest of the run into the first week of August stays small and messy. There’s a bit more size on Saturday, August 1st morning with 4 ft from the west, but the wind is cross-on and the period is a short 6 seconds, making for a bumpy, weak wave. The energy is only 100 (weak to moderate). It’s a kite-surfing setup more than anything for a paddle surfer.
The long-range stuff, around August 5th, is just tiny dribbles. There’s nothing here that qualifies as a true standout. It’s a blank run, and for this area, that’s not totally unusual. Forecasts can change, but right now, you’re better off finding something else to do for a while.
Rusty.
