Right folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks around Mawgan Porth.
Honestly, it’s a pretty quiet picture for a while. The first few days are a write-off – Tuesday and Wednesday have that small, weak swell coming in with cross-onshore winds, just messy little wind ripples. The wave energy is barely registering (81). You’d be fighting a losing battle.
Things start to look a touch more hopeful from Thursday morning. We’ve got a light cross-offshore breeze, and the swell bumps up just a notch. The water temp is about average for the time of year, nothing to write home about. Thursday the 9th of July sees some clean little waves, but they’re still small – around 3ft from the WNW – and the energy is still low-moderate (126). It’s surfable, but nothing to get excited about.
Friday the 10th of July is very similar: clean again with a light offshore, same sort of size at 3ft from the west. The combined energy is still modest (135). You’ll get a few little rides, but it’s really just a gentle paddle.
Then, sadly, we drop right off. From Saturday afternoon all the way through to the end of the forecast period, it’s flat. The swell disappears, the energy plummets – we’re talking readings down to 10 and 20. There’s a couple of days with strong offshore winds, but the waves are barely a ripple. Even some glassy conditions on the 16th of July, but with only 2ft of weak swell.
What it boils down to: the only window with anything at all is Thursday and Friday this week. And even then, it’s just tiny, clean waves. There’s no standout period, no big groundswell on the horizon. For a beginner, those couple of days might be alright for a learning session. For anyone else, it’s a long stretch of nothing. A frustratingly quiet outlook for this stretch of coast.
Rusty.
