The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on the table.
First up, the only game in town for this whole 16-day stretch is Godrevy. And I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough outlook. There’s a big gap right at the start with no surf worth mentioning, and the first half of the period is pretty bleak. The water’s sitting at 64°F right now, which is about average for the time of year – nothing wild there.
Things start looking a little less sorry by Wednesday, August 26th. That morning has a bit of swell running at 4ft from the SSW with a short 7-second period, and it’s clean, but it’s only marginal. The real highlight of the whole window pops up on Wednesday afternoon: 5ft swell from the SSW, 8-second period, with light cross-offshore wind and clean conditions. That’s your best bet – a fun, surfable window where the wave energy is moderate (345). It’s not huge, but it’s the only time the forecast really says “expect good surf.”
After that, it’s back to poor surf for days. There’s a bit of a pulse later – Saturday, August 29th morning sees 8ft from the W, but with moderate cross-onshore wind and choppy conditions, it’s messy. That’s more for the experienced crew if you’re desperate, but the quality is poor.
Overall, the first week is a write-off, and the second week doesn’t offer much either. If you’re a beginner, that Wednesday afternoon window is your only shot at something manageable. Crowds are possible at Godrevy, especially if it’s the only clean wave around. For the rest, it’s a case of wait and see – forecasts change, but right now, there’s not a lot to get excited about.
Rusty.

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