The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for our stretch of coast.
Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – this 16-day window for Godrevy is a tough one to call. The whole period is plagued by onshore winds, mostly from the WNW or W, which just rips the face off any swell that tries to show. It’s a pretty grim run of poor surf conditions, with a lot of lumpy, choppy, and cross-onshore junk. There’s a bit of a gap right at the start where we’re just not getting anything rideable.
The only faint glimmer of hope, and I mean *faint*, lands on Saturday the 29th of August. Saturday morning, we’ve got some clean conditions with a cross-offshore breeze from the S. The swell is a weak 4 ft from the W with a super short period of 7 seconds. The combined energy is only moderate (228). It’s a marginal surf forecast, barely a ripple. Honestly, it’s not going to be a standout session, but it’s the only time the wind doesn’t completely ruin it. The water temp is about average for the time of year at 64°.
If you’re desperate for a paddle, Saturday morning is your only shot at something that isn’t completely blown out. But I wouldn’t be holding my breath. This stretch is looking more interesting for the kite surfers than for us paddle surfers for most of this run.
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.
Godrevy is 5 km (3 miles) from Camborne. If you plan a holiday in North Cornwall, look for hotels and other accommodation in Camborne. Camborne has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
