The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s get stuck into this one.
Straight up, I’m looking at the next couple of weeks and it’s a bit of a tough watch for Godrevy. The whole 16-day window is a real struggle. There’s no good surf on the table for the entire first week, and honestly, the pattern just doesn’t give us a proper window to get excited about. We’re looking at a long run of flat to tiny, messy conditions.
The first sniff of anything that might get a surfer out of bed isn’t until Thursday the 4th of August. The wind finally swings offshore, which is a massive plus, but the swell is still small and weak. The water’s sitting at about 64°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year – at least you won’t be freezing your toes off.
The only real standout, and I’m using that term loosely, is the late-afternoon session on Tuesday the 5th of August. The swell direction is WSW, which is close to the optimum WNW, and we’ll see a bump in the combined energy (168) and a cleaner look with that cross-off wind. But the swell height is only 4ft and the period is short at 7 seconds, so it’s going to be weak and a bit fat. The wind does pick up to a fresh breeze, so it won’t be pretty, but it’s the best we’ll get.
For a beginner, this is a total write-off. The swell never gets big enough to worry about, but it’s also never clean enough to learn on. For the experienced crew, the only thing to even look at is that Tuesday 5th August afternoon. It’s a long-range call, so don’t book the day off work just yet, but it’s the only time the combo of swell direction and offshore wind lines up. Crowds are likely at Godrevy anyway, so for a session that’s only just surfable, I’d expect a few of the faithful to be out there.
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.
