The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the next couple of weeks.
We've got a bit of a flat spell to get through first, but don't write it off just yet. The longer-range charts are showing some potential that could make the wait worthwhile.
The first couple of weeks are looking pretty grim, to be honest. From Monday the 7th through to Sunday the 13th, it's a write-off. The swell is there, but the wind is just ruining it. We've got a solid 8ft of west swell packing a punch with 1783 units of energy on Monday morning, but it's accompanied by a 12 mph onshore breeze. By Tuesday, a fresh 22 mph NNW cross-onshore is making a mess of the 6ft swell. It's just choppy, lumpy, and generally not worth paddling out for. The water is a touch warmer than normal at 64°, but that's little comfort when the waves are closing out.
The conditions start to improve slightly from the 15th. The 16th sees a light 6 mph breeze, but the swell is only 4ft and the period is short. It's still marginal. The 17th and 18th bring in some strong offshore winds from the ESE, which cleans the surface right up, but the swell is still on the smaller side, and the 5ft to 6ft faces are a bit short-period and unruly. Still, the clean surface is a sight for sore eyes.
The Standout
Now, listen up, because this is the one we've been waiting for. The real action is set for the weekend of the 20th and 21st of September. Sunday the 20th is the jewel in the crown. We're looking at a clean, long-period groundswell from the WNW, around 6ft, with a period of 12 seconds. That's quality energy, packing 905 units of grunt. The wind is set to go offshore from the ESE, gusting to 12 mph, which will keep the waves clean. And then the afternoon… it goes glassy. Flat calm, zero wind. That is a rare and beautiful thing. At Godrevy, a fairly consistent beginner-friendly break, that's a session to mark on the calendar. The west-northwest direction is exactly what this spot wants. The only downside? It's a spot that can get often crowded, so expect company for that one.
The following Monday the 21st blows out again with a strong 25 mph cross-onshore, but that window on Sunday the 20th is the one to chase. Get your board ready.
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.
