The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cookin’ for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, I gotta be straight with you—this is a tough stretch. The swell is tiny and the wind is a mess for most of it. We’ve got a long gap of nothing worthwhile until the very end.
Right now, on Monday the 3rd of August, you’re looking at a weak 2 ft of swell from the west, with a cross-on breeze. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 65°, but the energy is next to nothing (39). It’s not worth paddling out.
Tuesday the 4th and Wednesday the 5th bring a little more size, up to 6 ft, but the wind is howling onshore at 19 mph, making it choppy and blown out. The combined energy climbs to 311, but it’s just messy. Thursday the 6th isn’t much better—cross-on wind and a short, weak swell.
We slide into a real flat spell from Friday the 7th through to the 17th of August. Tiny waves, barely 0.7 ft to 2 ft, with a mix of glassy and clean conditions, but no real push. The energy drops to single digits some days. It’s a classic summer lull.
Finally, there’s a glimmer. On Tuesday the 18th of August, the swell bumps up to 4 ft from the west-northwest, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy hits 133, and the wind turns cross-offshore from the northeast at 9 mph, giving us clean conditions. It’s not a standout by any stretch, but it’s the only surfable moment in the whole outlook. The waves will be very ordinary, but if you’re desperate, you’ll find a few grovelly ones. Crowds are often a thing at Crooklets-Bude, so expect company.
So, the best on offer? That’s Tuesday the 18th of August—just a tiny window of clean, small waves for the dedicated. The rest of the 16 days is a write-off.
Rusty.
