Poldhu Cove Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right then, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks down at Poldhu Cove.

To be straight with you, the forecast is a bit of a quiet one. There’s a long stretch of days where the swell just isn’t going to deliver anything worth paddling out for. The window for any kind of surf is really tight, and it’s not until the 8th of July that we see anything that might get you wet.

The standout, and really the only one worth talking about, is the morning of Wednesday the 8th of July. The wind goes glassy, which is a major plus, and we’ve got a 3ft swell rolling in from the west with a period of 10 seconds. The combined energy is moderate (125), so there’s a bit of push there. The water temp is about average for the time of year. It’s surfable, but the conditions are described as very ordinary, so don’t expect perfection. It’s inconsistent here, so you’ll be waiting for the sets.

The Thursday morning the 9th of July is also worth a mention. The wind is light and cross-off from the east, keeping things clean. Swell is similar at 3ft from the west-northwest, with a medium period of 10 seconds and a combined energy of 153. It’s still just surfable, but it’s ordinary.

After that, it’s mostly a write-off. The swell drops right off and the wind picks up, making for poor conditions. The rest of the 16-day window is filled with tiny, weak swell and often strong breezes, which is a real shame. There’s a gap of several days with no real recommendations from the 10th of July right through to the end of the period. If you’re desperate, the 17th of July morning has a brief flutter of 3ft from the southwest, but with a short 7-second period and a cross-shore wind, it’s not going to be pretty.

It’s a flat spell, my friends. Sometimes it’s just like that around here.

Rusty.
