Alright, let’s get straight into it.
The sixteen-day outlook for this area is a real struggle, I won’t lie to ya. There is a massive gap right from the start with no proper surf on offer for a solid stretch. The first week and a half are basically a write-off unless you’re happy to sit on a flat board. The water temp is sitting at 63°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s the only highlight for a while.
The first chance of anything resembling a wave comes on Saturday the 11th of July. That morning looks clean with light wind from the north and near glassy conditions at Harlyn. The swell is coming from the north at 5 ft, but it’s short period – only 6 seconds – so it’ll be pretty weak and disorganised. The combined energy is 281, which is moderate. It’s surfable but it won’t set the world on fire. Crowds are often here, so expect some company. This is the only real window of the whole run, and it’s a pretty average one. For a sheltered spot like Harlyn, that north swell direction isn’t ideal either – it’s exposed to all swell from the WNW, so this is a bit of a left-field bump. Still, it’s the best you’re gonna get.
After that, it’s back to tiny, weak, and messy for the rest of the run. Nothing else comes close. The second week has a few spots with cross-offshore wind on the 14th and 15th, but the swell is tiny – only 2 ft to 2 ft – so it’s not worth paddling out for. There’s a long period swell on the 18th of July at 12 seconds, but again the height is only 2 ft, so it’s just a ripple.
Honestly, if you’re looking for something proper, this isn’t the fortnight. Forecasts change though, so keep an eye on it.

Information about the Harlyn Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Harlyn provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Harlyn can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Harlyn 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 (Harlyn) 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 Harlyn 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.
Harlyn is 6 km (4 miles) from Padstow. If you plan a holiday in North Cornwall, look for hotels and other accommodation in Padstow. Padstow has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
