Pendower Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the forecast for Pendower Beach over the next 16 days is a bit of a heartbreaker. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak surf ahead, and not a single day that I’d call a proper standout. The combined swell energy barely gets into double digits for most of the period, often sitting in the single digits, so you’re looking at wave energy that’s weak at best. Expect a lot of flat spells.

Looking right through to Tuesday, August 11th, we start with just knee-high slop at best. Onshore winds have the water looking like a washing machine. That sets the tone. The whole first week is basically a write-off for any decent waves. We do get a brief moment on Thursday, August 13th, with a clean little 1.0ft (1.0ft) groundswell from the WSW and an 11-second period, but it’s just too small to get excited about. The offshore wind will make it look pretty, but you’ll be bobbing around.

The flat spell continues. There’s a very long gap here with nothing rideable. You’ll be waiting all the way through to the end of the third week of August. The water temperature is running about average for the time of year.

Finally, on Saturday, August 22nd, we see a slight bump. A clean 1ft (1ft) from the SW with a 7-second period and a cross-offshore wind makes for a clean session. The combined energy hits 24 (24) – still weak, but it’s the best we’ve got. It’s small, but for a longboard or a foiler, you might find a few little crumbly shoulders. The wind stays clean into Sunday morning, but the swell is tiny again.

Honestly, if you’re a kite surfer, the wind will be more interesting than the waves for most of this outlook. For paddling, keep your expectations in the cellar. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a waiting game.

Rusty.
