Alright, let me have a look at what’s coming up for Kennack Sands.
Honestly mate, this is a tough one. For a good stretch, there’s just nothing doing. The swell energy is flat or barely a ripple for days on end. We’re looking at a long, quiet run from the start of the month all the way through until mid-July. You’d be waiting around a lot.
Now, the first tiny hint of something rideable pops up on Thursday the 16th of July, in the morning. We’ve got a weak 4ft swell knocking from the east, with a short, unremarkable period. The combined energy sits at a modest 119 (moderate). The wind is cross-offshore, which will keep the surface clean, but the wave quality is only described as “surfable waves but very ordinary conditions.” It’s not a standout; it’s just the best of a poor bunch. The water temp is sitting at 63°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
After that, Friday the 17th sees a similar 3ft to 4ft swell from the south-southwest, but with light onshore or cross-shore breezes that will mess up the face. Not worth getting excited about.
The real takeaway here is that Kennack Sands is inconsistent at the best of times, and this outlook shows a pretty barren run. If you were hoping for a session, the only window that even flirts with being worth a look is that Thursday morning, but keep your expectations real low.
