Sennen Cove Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Sennen Cove has got cooking.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you. The next week and a half is looking pretty flat and forgettable. We've got a real dry spell here from Wednesday the 8th of July all the way through to around the 22nd. There's surfable waves here and there, but nothing that's going to get you out of bed. The water temp is pretty much average for this time of year, nothing weird going on there.

Now, there is a little window on the morning of Friday the 10th of July. The swell is a small 3ft out of the West with a period around 9 seconds. The wind is a light cross-offshore breeze from the Northeast, keeping things clean. The energy is moderate, clocking in at 178. It's nothing huge, but for a beginner-friendly, very consistent spot like Sennen Cove, it'll be a fun little session with small, clean waves. The crowds are *sometimes* an issue here, so you might have company.

Come Saturday the 11th, it's more of the same but smaller. Morning has that similar clean, light cross-off wind but the swell drops to 3ft. It’s surfable, just very ordinary.

Then we get to Sunday the 12th of July. The morning sees the swell drop to 2ft from the North with a weak period of just 6 seconds. But the wind? It's a fresh offshore Easterly at 30 km/h. The wave energy is weak (68), but it will be glassy clean. If you're a beginner, these tiny, clean waves are perfect.

After that, the wheels come off. From Monday the 13th onwards, the swell disappears to 0.7ft or 1.0ft. The wind turns howling offshore from the East, sometimes hitting 55 km/h on the 15th of July. Those conditions are just brutal for paddling. It's all very clean-looking but unsurfable.

The one bright spot on the horizon is Thursday the 23rd of July. That morning we get a solid 7ft swell from the North. The energy jumps to a very strong 546 and the period is short at 7 seconds, but the wind is a fresh cross-offshore from the South making it clean. That's a big step up in size, but be warned, at 7ft this is getting into expert-only territory at Sennen Cove. It’s a long way out, so keep it in the back of your mind, but don't book the time off just yet.

Signing off, Rusty.
