Table - best surf conditions forecast for Harlyn over the next 16 days.
Alright folks, Rusty here. Gotta be straight with you – looking at the Harlyn forecast for the next 16 days, it’s a tough one. There’s no real surf to recommend at all. The data shows a long, flat spell with nothing but “poor surf conditions” and a score of zero across the board. We’re talking about a gap that stretches from Friday, July 10th, all the way through to the morning of Thursday, July 23rd, with almost no rideable energy. The combined swell energy never gets above 97 (moderate) and mostly sits in the weak to very weak range, with the swell barely cracking 3 feet. It’s a frustrating run for a break that’s the only option in the area.
The only faint glimmer shows up on the morning of Friday, July 24th, with a slight bump from the west. Swell hits 4 feet from the W, with a period of 9 seconds and a combined energy of 258 (moderate). The wind is a gentle cross-shore, which is about as good as it gets, but the file still calls it “poor surf conditions.” Then on Saturday, July 25th, the swell holds at 4 feet from the W, period 10 seconds, energy 279. The wind turns cross-offshore from the SW at 30 km/h, and the description says “clean.” That’s the one standout in the whole outlook. It’s a week and a half away, so treat it as a promising long-range hope, but not a guarantee. The swell is manageable for most intermediates, but it’s small enough to be okay for beginners too.
Honestly, with the onshore winds and weak energy, this setup at Harlyn looks more interesting for a kite surfer than a paddle surfer for most of the window. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing weird going on there.
Hang in there, and keep checking back. It tends not to stay this poor for long.

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.
