The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the menu for the next couple of weeks at Godrevy. Straight up, I gotta be honest with you – this is a tough stretch. The forecast is looking pretty grim for most of the period, with a lot of onshore wind and messy conditions. We’re not seeing a single standout session that I’d get properly excited about, so temper those expectations.
The pattern starts off weak and stays that way for a while. Wednesday the 5th kicks off with some cross-on wind from the WNW at 19 mph, pushing in a lumpy 6 ft swell with a short 7-second period. The combined energy is moderate (388), but the wind is just ruining it. That trend continues into Thursday with onshore winds and dropping swell. We get a bit of a lull through Friday the 7th, Saturday the 8th, and Sunday the 9th, where the swell drops right down to ankle-snappers around 1.0 ft to 2 ft. Even though we get a glassy moment on Saturday afternoon, there’s just nothing to ride.
The first real chance of anything surfable doesn’t arrive until Wednesday the 12th of August. The morning shows a 3 ft swell from the west with a 9-second period, and a light cross-offshore breeze from the SSW at 6 mph. The conditions are clean, and the combined energy is moderate (176). It’s surfable, but it’s very ordinary. It’s the best we’ve got, but it’s not a day to call in sick for.
After that, it’s back to the wind and chop. Thursday the 13th sees the swell bump up to 6 ft with a moderate energy reading (422), but it’s cross-on from the WSW at 12 mph, making it choppy and poor. Friday the 14th is similar with onshore winds. The weekend of the 16th and 17th offers a couple of marginal calls. Sunday the 16th has a solid 7 ft swell from the west (544 energy), but the onshore NW wind at 16 mph makes it a messy, powerful beast – only for the experts, and even then it’s not great. Monday the 17th morning has a cleaner look with offshore SSE wind at 19 mph and a 4 ft, 9-second west swell (257 energy), but it’s still a very marginal call.
The second week just fades out with more of the same: fresh winds and small, weak swell. The last real pulse of any size is that 7 ft on the 16th, but with the wind on it, it’s a kite-surfing kind of day, not a paddle-surfing one.
The water temp is running a touch warmer than normal at 65°, so that’s one small comfort. But honestly, this is a lean run. There are no hidden gems here, just a lot of waiting for something better.
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.
