The Lowdown

Alright, this is Rusty. Let's have a look at what's on offer for the next couple of weeks.

To be brutally honest, the 16-day window for this spot is a tough read. Godrevy is exposed to the swell, but the wind and conditions just aren't lining up. The good news is that the spot is fairly consistent, so this run of poor surf won't last forever, but we're looking at a long stretch of nothing to get excited about.

The first real chance of anything happening doesn't show up until the morning of Saturday the 29th of August. We've got a 8ft swell from the SSW, with a period of 8 seconds and a cross-offshore wind that keeps things clean. The combined energy is moderate (871). That's something, but it's a big, lumpy beast for a beginner spot. It's surfable, but it's not pretty.

Then, on Sunday morning the 30th, we get a cleaner window. The swell drops a bit to 6ft from the WSW, period 9 seconds, and the wind is a clean cross-offshore from the SSW. The energy is moderate (524). It's a glimmer of hope, but it's still a marginal call.

The standout in a very average lineup is the morning of Monday the 31st of August. The swell is solid at 10ft from the W, with a period of 10 seconds, and the wind is straight onshore from the WNW. The energy is strong (1495). This is a big, powerful, onshore mess. For a beginner spot, that's not your friend. For an expert, it's a wind-blown challenge. For a kite surfer, that's a whole different story. The setup here looks far more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

After that, conditions continue to be poor. The water temperature is 18°, which is about average for this time of year, so the wetsuit is the same as usual.

The morning of Friday the 4th of September offers a 7ft swell from the west with a very long period of 12 seconds. The energy is strong (1302). The wind is cross-on from the west. The long period will make the waves better shaped, and the gaps between sets will be longer, but the cross-on wind will chop it up. It's a marginal one.

The morning of Saturday the 5th of September is a last chance for a little something, with a 4ft swell from the west, a period of 11 seconds, and a cross-shore wind from the northeast. The energy is moderate (393). It's a marginal call again.

The whole second week is a write-off. The wind is strong, the swell is small, and the conditions are either onshore, choppy, or just plain messy. There's nothing to recommend. The energy values drop to weak (26, 12, 37), and the swell period is either short (5-6 seconds) or weirdly long (20-21 seconds), but the wind is so strong it wouldn't matter.

So, to be blunt, the best of the worst is the Saturday morning (29th) and Sunday morning (30th) of August. The rest of the time, you're better off checking the wind forecast for kiting. The waves are just not cooperating.

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.
