Godrevy Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Right, let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for Godrevy over the next couple of weeks.

The water’s a touch warmer than average for this time of year, sitting at 64°, which is nice. The pattern for the next week or so is a bit of a mixed bag. We’ve got some clean windows, but the wind is often a problem. The standout is shaping up to be Sunday morning on the 13th of September, with a proper glassy session on offer.

Alright, let’s break it down. The first few days are a write-off. The morning of the 8th has a 22 mph onshore wind tearing into a 7 ft WNW swell. The wave energy is moderate (677), but the wind is just too strong, making it poor. Wednesday the 9th stays pretty ordinary with onshore winds, and a 5 ft swell the morning, dropping to 4 ft by the afternoon. Thursday the 10th is a bit of a mess with a 6 ft swell in the afternoon, but the wind is cross-off, so it’s clean but with strong winds. The wind stays on or cross for the next few days, keeping the surf poor.

Now, here’s the good bit. Sunday morning, the 13th of September, is the best early call. The wind goes glassy, and there’s a nice 5 ft W swell with a period of 10 seconds. The energy is moderate (433), and the conditions are set to be glassy. This is a proper window for a beginner-friendly spot like Godrevy. The afternoon is a bit of a drop-off with a cross-on wind.

Then, Tuesday the 15th of September is another standout. The morning kicks off with a 4 ft W swell, a period of 11 seconds, and a gentle offshore wind from the SE. The afternoon is similar, with a 4 ft swell and a clean, moderate offshore breeze. The wave energy is moderate (275 and 290). This is clean, lined-up, and very surfable.

After that, the wind turns nasty again through the 16th and 17th, with onshore winds and small, weak swell. The morning of the 19th of September is glassy again, but the swell is a small 3 ft from the WNW. The energy is moderate (307), but it’s a little small for a proper session.

The following week, the 23rd of September, sees a long-period WNW swell of 14 seconds, but the wind is onshore, so it’s a bit of a tease. The swell is 4 ft, and the energy is high (586), but the wind just ruins it.

So, to sum it up: the best days are Sunday the 13th morning and Tuesday the 15th. The 15th is the pick of the pair for me, with the offshore wind and a solid 4 ft swell. The Sunday is great if you want a glassy, clean session. The rest of the window is a bit of a battle with the wind, but those two days are worth it.
