The Lowdown
Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s break down the Godrevy stretch for the next couple of weeks. The water is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, running about 64°F, so that’s a nice little treat.
The first part of the run is a real bummer. There’s a long, quiet gap until the 16th, with nothing but poor surf and a lot of onshore wind. The only thing that’s barely worth a look is some chest-high swell (5ft) from the WNW with a 9-second period on the 9th, but it’s choppy with a cross-onshore breeze. You’ll be waiting for cleaner, more powerful stuff.
The real standout, the one that’s got me stoked, is the 16th. Wednesday the 16th, both morning and afternoon, you’ve got a solid 10ft swell from the W and WNW, with a period hitting 8 to 9 seconds. The combined energy is pumping – 1197 and 1557 (strong wave energy). The wind is blowing light and offshore from the NW, so it’s going to be clean. Now, this is a big one – 10ft is serious, expert territory, and it’s too big for beginners. But for the crew who can handle it, this is the best on offer. The only catch is that the forecast says it might be too big for this break, so it’s going to be a heavy, powerful day.
After that, the 17th and 18th keep the size up, with 8ft to 10ft swells, but the wind gets a bit more cross-shore. The 18th afternoon has a huge 10ft pulse from the WNW with a 9-second period and a massive 1675 combined energy, but the cross-shore wind will put a bit of texture on the face. Still, for the experienced surfers, those are the days to watch.
The final days of the 19th and 20th drop back down to smaller, weaker waves, and the 21st is just ordinary, small surf with a light breeze. It’s a waiting game, but that big mid-month pulse is the real deal.
Rusty out.

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.
