The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s talk about Crooklets-Bude. We've got a stretch of small, weak surf ahead, and honestly, it's going to be pretty bleak for a while.
The water is sitting around 64°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that's a small comfort.
Looking at what's coming, there's pretty much nothing worth paddling out for in the next week. From Wednesday the 29th right through to the middle of the following week, we're dealing with tiny, weak swell – mostly under 2ft. The wind is a problem too, with a lot of cross-onshore stuff keeping things choppy and messy. The wave energy is weak, all under 100 (as low as 9 at times), so there's just no push. This is a gap of about 7 days with no real recommendation.
Things start to look a little more interesting around Saturday the 8th of August. On Saturday morning, we get a clean, moderate offshore wind from the ESE at 19 mph, which is a solid positive. The swell picks up a little to 2ft from the WSW, with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy climbs to 70, which is still weak but it’s the most we've seen. The offshore breeze will make for some clean, glassy lines at Crooklets-Bude. It’s still small, so it's a good option for beginners and longboarders, and the crowds can be often here, so you might have some company for those clean little waves. The swell direction from the WSW is a decent match for the optimum westerly direction.
Saturday afternoon stays clean with the wind going cross-off, and the swell holding at 2ft with 84 energy. Sunday the 9th of August also looks clean with lighter winds, but the swell drops back to 1ft. These few days from the 8th are the only standouts in the whole 16-day window, but they are promising, with that clean offshore wind being the key. After that, we drift back into small, onshore slop through the end of the forecast.
So, if you want the best of a bad run, keep your eye on Saturday the 8th and Sunday the 9th of August for some fun, clean, small waves at Crooklets-Bude. Everything else is a write-off.
Rusty.
