The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get stuck in. It’s Rusty here, and I’ve been staring at the charts for Godrevy, and I gotta tell you, it’s a bit of a grim picture for the next week and a half. We’re looking at a long stretch of onshore slop and cross-chop that’s going to have you staring at the horizon wondering where the summer went.
The opening run is a real washout. From Monday the 14th right through to the 20th, we’ve got a persistent westerly flow. Winds are mostly cross or cross-on, and it’s going to be lumpy, choppy, and generally poor. There’s swell on tap, but it’s messy and the conditions are just not doing it any favors. The water’s sitting at 64°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s a small silver lining if you’re just desperate for a paddle.
We finally get a bit of a reset on Monday the 21st. The wind drops right out, going glassy, and we’ve got a clean 4ft of west-northwest swell with a longer 13 second period. It’s still small and the energy is only moderate (425), but it’s the first time the place actually looks like a surf spot instead of a washing machine. This is the window to get out if you’re jonesing for a few clean ones. Tuesday the 22nd morning keeps that clean vibe with a light offshore and 4ft on offer, but it’s still not big.
After that, it drops off again into Wednesday and Thursday the 23rd and 24th. The swell shrinks and we’re back to tiny, wind-affected waves. Not worth getting wet for, really.
Now, looking further out, there’s a tease. Around the 24th and 25th of September, the period numbers start climbing way up – we’re talking 14 to 18 seconds, which is proper groundswell territory. The swell size stays modest, around 3ft to 4ft, and the wind is cross-off from the east-southeast. It’s clean, but the energy is still moderate (640). This is promising, but it’s a long way out, so I’d keep expectations in check. Godrevy is an exposed beach, and these long-period swells can break a bit straight, so don’t expect perfection, but it could be worth a look.
The truth is, there’s no standout day in this forecast. The cleanest conditions around the 21st and 22nd are your best bet, but they’re small. The end of the month has potential, but it’s too far out to get excited about. For now, keep the board in the car and be ready to move when the wind clocks around.
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.
