Alright, Rusty here breakin' it down for you in feet and knots. It's a rough forecast, a whole lot of not much goin' on.
We're lookin' at a long dry spell from the get-go. No real surf to speak of on Sunday the 5th or Monday the 6th. Swell's tiny, real weak, all messed up by the wind.
The only time you might want to grab a board is Wednesday morning, July 8th at Mawgan Porth. It's small, about 2ft from the West with a 9-second period. The energy is real light. What saves it is a light cross-offshore breeze from the North, so the waves will be clean. The water's a touch warmer than usual for July. It's surfable, but it's ordinary at best. Crowd's "sometimes," so maybe a quiet one.
Then it all goes pear-shaped. Saturday the 11th gets a bit of size – 7ft from the NNW – but the wind is howlin' at 15-18 knots from the same direction, tearin' the surface to bits. It's a messy onshore mess, way better for a kite than a paddle.
After that, it's a flat spell. All the way from Sunday the 12th to Sunday the 19th is tiny, weak waves (under 3ft) and mostly onshore wind. There's a clean little moment on Tuesday morning, July 14th – a 2ft groundswell with an 11-second period and a light offshore – but it's a whisper. Friday morning, July 17th is another clean, small option: 3ft from the NNW but with a short 6-second period. Both are just for the keenest.
So, what's the pick? Wednesday morning the 8th is your best bet. It's nothin' special, but it's the only time you'll find a clean wave you can actually surf. The rest is a long, flat, blown-out gap. For this spot, that ain't too strange. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye.
Rusty.
