The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty again. Here's the same outlook but in the old measurement system you might be used to.
We are looking at a real flat spell for our only spot, Droskyn Point. The swell windows are closed and the wind is against us for almost the entire 16-day window. The first week and a half is a dead loss. You're staring at a solid 12 days of tiny, blown-out surf.
The whole pattern is small, weak swell from the West and Northwest. The wave energy is pathetic, mostly in double-digit figures like 46 to 74, with only one late bump to 118. For the first two weeks, onshore and cross-onshore winds are the norm, keeping things choppy.
Even the most hopeful day, Sunday the 2nd of August morning, with a 2ft W swell and a light offshore ESE wind, is pitifully small. It's running on an 8-second period, so it's gutless. That's a tiny, weak wave for a longboard on a desperate day.
The one bit of light is on Thursday afternoon, the 13th of August. That's a full two weeks away, so keep your expectations tempered. We get a small improvement to a 2ft WNW swell, but the period stretches to 9 seconds, which gives it a bit more shape. The wind goes light offshore from the SE, so Droskyn will be glassy. The energy hits 74, the best we see. It's still only 2ft. It's not a standout, it's just the only window.
Friday morning the 14th has the energy jumping to 118 with a 3ft WNW swell, but the wind is a moderate cross-offshore from the ENE. Clean, but bumpy.
I wouldn't bother checking the tides for the first 12 days. This is a kite surfer's forecast, not a paddle surfer's. Nothing to write home about.
Tough stretch.

Information about the Droskyn Point Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Droskyn Point provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Droskyn Point can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Droskyn Point surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Droskyn Point) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Droskyn Point may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
Droskyn Point is 9 km (6 miles) from Newquay. If you plan a holiday in North Cornwall, look for hotels and other accommodation in Newquay. Newquay has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
