Pendower Beach Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.

Honestly, I’m looking at a pretty flat spell coming up. The first solid bit of surf isn’t due until Wednesday the 23rd of September, and even then it’s going to be tiny. Before that, we’ve got a long stretch of just about nothing. From now right through to the 22nd, the waves are basically non-existent, with heights barely scraping 2 ft and the energy reading sitting at a weak 55 (55) on the 8th of September, and then it just drops off. The wind is often offshore, which is a tease, but there’s no swell to work with. It’s a real bummer for a stretch that long.

Now, let’s talk about the one faint glimmer. On Wednesday the 23rd of September, we get a little pulse from the WSW. The morning shows a 1 ft swell with a period of 16 seconds, which is a very long period groundswell, and the energy is a moderate 57 (57). The wind is a clean cross-off from the NNE at 12 mph. That long period will make it tricky at a sheltered spot like Pendower Beach, as it’ll be pretty straight and fat, but it’s the only wave in town. The afternoon holds similar, with a 1 ft swell from the WSW at 15 seconds, a clean 15 mph offshore from the N, and energy at 51 (51).

The water is sitting at 64°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so the 4/3mm might be a bit much for the hardy souls.

So, the stand-out, if you can call it that, is that Wednesday the 23rd of September. It’s the only day with any real energy and clean offshore wind. It’s a promise of a few small, clean, lined-up waves at Pendower Beach, but with that long period, don’t expect much push. It’s better than the nothing we’ve had for two weeks.

Keep the faith, but maybe don’t hold your breath.

Rusty.
