The Lowdown
Right, let’s get into it. The surf this week is a real mixed bag, and you’ll need to pick your moments.
The early part of the period is a write-off, to be honest. We’ve got onshore junk on Wednesday and Thursday, with 20-30 km/h winds ruining a couple of fun-looking 2.0m swells. The energy’s there, ranging from moderate (523) to strong (967), but it’s messy, poor surf. Friday’s no better – lumpy, cross-shore chop, tough going.
Then, hold on. Sunday morning on the 20th is the standout of the whole window. The wind drops out completely, glassy conditions, and we’ve got a clean 1.5m W swell with a solid 11-second period. The wave energy reads 522 – moderate – but that glass is the magic ingredient. This is your window if you can get out.
The next couple of days, Monday and Tuesday, will have smaller but still fun waves – around 0.9m to 1.0m, glassy and clean. Tuesday afternoon looks particularly nice with a clean 17-second period. The energy drops into the low hundreds but the quality is there. A couple of smaller days follow, but it stays clean.
Then, a big jump on Sunday the 27th. The swell size comes back up to 1.8m by the afternoon, with a long 12-second period, but a light cross-onshore wind starts to put some ripples on it. It’s a bit of a tease. Monday the 28th looks proper raw – 2.0m of W swell with a 13-second period, but that 30 km/h north wind will shred it to bits. That’s expert territory and likely messy.
The final few days, from Tuesday the 29th and into Wednesday the 30th and Thursday the 1st of October, are a mixed bag. There’s some clean *cross-offshore* wind (20-30 km/h from the east) but the swell quality is questionable. Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning look the pick of that last run – clean conditions with a new SW swell, around 1.9m to 2.1m, even if the period is a bit short at 8-9 seconds. Worth checking the tide on those ones.
So, if you want the one, absolute standout: Sunday morning, the 20th. Glassy, clean, and a proper wave. The water’s about average for this time of year, so no surprises there. For Godrevy, it’s on. Keep the second week surf sessions short and sweet, as that longer range stuff is less certain.
Stay stoked.

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.
