Fistral-North Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Fistral-North over the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, it’s a pretty flat run. The whole 16-day window is dominated by tiny, weak swell and onshore or cross‑shore wind most days. There are a few brief windows where the conditions clean up, but the waves stay small – nothing even close to a proper session. If you’re desperate for a paddle, you’ll need to pick the moments carefully.

Starting off Monday the 6th of July – nothing doing. Light cross‑onshore wind with a pathetic 2.6‑ft west swell at 8 seconds. Combined energy is just 97 (weak). Water temp is 61.0° – about average for this time of year.

Tuesday the 7th is even smaller – 2‑ft west swell, onshore wind, poor.

Then Wednesday morning the 8th of July offers a brief glimmer. The wind goes glassy out of the north at 3 mph, and the swell is still only 2.3‑ft from the west, period 9 seconds, energy 90 (weak). It’s surfable but very ordinary – think knee‑high slop with no punch. Still, if you absolutely need to get wet, that’s your best early window. Crowds are often a problem here, but with waves this small it might be less busy.

After that it’s back to tiny cross‑shore junk through Thursday the 9th and the rest of the week, with swell heights hovering around 2–3 ft but poor wind. No joy.

Saturday the 11th and Sunday the 12th are even worse – Sunday morning a 0.3‑ft long‑period groundswell (16 seconds) from the SW but energy only 17, and the wind is a strong cross‑offshore at 16 mph from the ENE. Clean but way too small.

Another tiny improvement pops up Tuesday the 14th of July in the afternoon. Clear skies, light east cross‑offshore wind at 9 mph, swell 1‑ft from the west but with a nice 11‑second period, energy 61. Again surfable but ordinary. Don’t expect more than a knee‑high ripple.

The rest of that week stays small with clean offshore wind, but the swell drops to 0.7–1 ft – barely a bump.

Then we get a little more hope on Sunday the 19th of July. The morning has a moderate offshore breeze from the ESE at 16 mph, a 2‑ft west swell with a 13‑second period, and energy up to 137 (moderate). The afternoon is similar but with a 12‑second period and energy 121. The wind stays offshore and clean – but the waves are still only waist‑high at best. It’s the best looking combo in the whole forecast: offshore wind, a proper groundswell, and enough energy to break. However, it’s still small and the consistency isn’t there. With crowds likely, this might be the best bet for a patient surfer.

After that Monday the 20th and Tuesday the 21st fade back into onshore junk with nothing worth chasing.

So bottom line: no proper surf to get excited about
