Table - best surf conditions forecast for Mawgan Porth over the next 16 days.
Alright crew, Rusty here with the straight talk. It's gonna be a quiet stretch at Mawgan Porth, so don't hold your breath for anything firing.
The water is about 62°F, which feels a bit warmer than normal for this time of year – a small comfort.
The first real chance of a surf comes Thursday morning, July 9th. We've got a light NNE breeze blowing cross-offshore, making the surface clean. Swell is tiny, about 2ft from the WNW with a 10-second period. The combined energy is moderate at 126, but it's still just surfable, ordinary waves. For a beginner-friendly river break, it might be a fun little session.
Friday the 10th looks similar – small 2ft to 3ft waves from the west, with a light NE breeze keeping it tidy. The energy is moderate (138 Friday morning), but again, it's nothing to write home about. Saturday morning the 11th is the same story: small, clean, but very ordinary.
After that, the wheels fall off. From Sunday the 12th right through to the end of the forecast, it's mostly poor conditions. Minimal swell, bad wind, or just flat. Sunday afternoon the 12th has clean offshore wind, but the swell is a measly 2ft with a terrible 5-second period – not worth suiting up for.
The best bet is that Thursday morning session for the beginners. After that, it’s a long dry spell. This kind of quiet run is pretty normal around here, so don't sweat it – things can always change.
Rusty.

Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Mawgan Porth 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.
