Updates in hr min s Forecast update imminent
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s talk Sennen Cove.
Right off the bat, I’ve got to be straight with you – the 16-day window is looking grim. This stretch is basically a flat spell with only a few brief, barely rideable windows. For a spot that’s normally very consistent, this is unusual, so don’t lose hope – forecasts can always flip.
The water’s sitting at 60.3°F which is dead average for this time of year. Nothing weird there.
We kick off Monday 6th July afternoon with a tiny 2.6 ft west swell, period 8 seconds, cross-on wind – just poor. That sets the tone. Tuesday 7th and Wednesday 8th are similar: small west/northwest swells, cross-onshore, choppy, no good.
Thursday 9th morning offers a glimmer – 2.9 ft west-northwest swell, period 10 seconds, with a light north-northeast cross-off breeze. Clean, but the wave energy is moderate (159). It’s surfable but very ordinary. Same again on Friday 10th morning – 3.3 ft west swell, period 9, north-northeast cross-off – decent enough for a small wave cruise, but nothing to write home about. Both these sessions are the best of the first week, but they’re far from standouts. Crowds are possible here sometimes, so you might have company.

Information about the Sennen Cove Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Sennen Cove provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Sennen Cove can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Sennen Cove 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 (Sennen Cove) 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 Sennen Cove 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.
