Alright, this is Rusty. Let’s have a look at the next 16 days for Pendower Beach.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this is a tough run for surf. We’ve got a long stretch of tiny, weak swell and mostly flat conditions hanging around. For the first week, from July 4th right through to July 12th, the swell is barely a whisper, with heights mostly around 0.3ft to 0.7ft. The combined energy is way down in the low single digits to teens, which tells you how little juice there is. It’s clean in the mornings, sure, with light offshores or cross-off breezes, but with nothing to ride, that’s small comfort. There’s a bit of a bump on Friday July 10th and Saturday July 11th where the swell tries to push up to 3.9ft-4.6ft, but the period is a short, choppy 4-6 seconds, and the wind is a strong onshore mess. That’s more of a blown-out washout than anything else.
Now, after that, the second week doesn’t really offer redemption. From July 12th to the 19th, we’re back to that same tiny 0.3ft to 1.6ft stuff. The periods get longer, even up to 21 seconds on the 12th, but with no height, those long-period groundswells just won’t stand up on a beach break like this. The wind does turn nice and offshore on several afternoons after July 13th, which is a tease, but it’s practically flat surf.
If you look at the whole 16-day window, there is simply no standout day. Nothing gets above a 4.6ft max, and even that day was too windy. The break is inconsistent anyway, and this forecast is a long blank spell. For a spot like this, a flat run this long isn't unheard of. Honestly, if the wind keeps blowing strong from the east or south, it might look more interesting for the kite crew than paddle surfers.
Stay patient, folks. Forecasts change.

Information about the Pendower Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Pendower Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Pendower Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Pendower Beach surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Pendower Beach) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Pendower Beach 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. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
