The Lowdown
Alright, grab your board and let's have a look at the charts for the next couple of weeks. We're focusing on the waves at Godrevy.
Right off the bat, we've got a bit of a slow start. The first real sniff of anything worth paddling for is on Saturday, September 5th. The swell is pushing in at 5ft from the WNW with a solid 12-second period. That's a nice, long groundswell, which will love the exposed setup here. The combined energy is a moderate 665, so there's some grunt in the water. The wind is light from the W, although it's a cross-on breeze, so it won't be perfect. Still, it's the best we've got for a while. The water temp is about what you'd expect for this time of year, so nothing unusual there.
The afternoon on the 5th sees the swell settle a touch to 4ft, but the wind swings cross-off from the SW, cleaning it right up. That’s a solid window for a session.
Now, Sunday morning the 6th is a write-off. The swell drops to 2ft and the energy is a weak 97. The wind is howling cross-off from the SSE at 19 mph, which just makes things messy despite the clean look.
Monday the 7th is a big one, but not for the right reasons. We’ve got a massive 8ft swell from the W with a 13-second period, blasting in with a combined energy of 1942—that’s strong, powerful stuff. But the wind is a strong cross-on from the W at 16 mph, and it’s creating a choppy, lumpy mess. This is serious, expert-only territory. If you’re a beginner, stay well clear. For the experienced crew, it’s going to be a battle against the wind, and the waves are likely closing out fast. The setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
The rest of that week and into the next is a real struggle. The wind is almost always onshore or cross-onshore, and while the swell fluctuates, the quality is just gone. There are long, flat gaps with no recommendations. Tuesday the 8th and Wednesday the 9th have some size, but the wind is brutal. Thursday the 10th is similar—7ft swell but with a terrible cross-on wind.
We don't see any real promise until Saturday, September 12th, but even then, the swell is down to 4ft and the wind is a fresh cross-shore from the WSW. Not great.
The only real standout in this whole period is a very brief, very specific window on Saturday afternoon, September 5th. The wind goes clean, the swell is a fun 4ft from the WNW, and the period is a solid 11 seconds. It’s the only time the stars align, and it's a decent little window for a longboard or a funshape. Even then, the crowd profile at Godrevy says it's often busy, so you’ll be sharing the waves.
After that, it’s a long, barren stretch. The surf dries up, the wind stays onshore, and the swell energy drops to feeble levels. The 13th to the 20th of September is a flat spell, with nothing but tiny, wind-affected slop. It’s a blank run of about a week with no real surf on offer.
So, to be straight with you, the outlook is grim. Don't hold your breath for the second week; it's all promises and no delivery. The only real shout is that Saturday afternoon, and even then, it's a marginal call. It's a tough one for the regulars.

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.
