The Lowdown
Alright, I’m gonna be straight with you. This is a rough one.
Right now, through the first nine days of the forecast, we’re looking at a whole lot of nothing. There’s barely a ripple worth paddling for. The swell is tiny, mostly around 1 ft to 3 ft, with a short, weak period and energy levels that are just pathetic – we’re talking values of 51 or less for most of that stretch. The wind is mostly cross-on or onshore, messing up what little wave there is. It’s a long, flat, frustrating gap. The water temp at Godrevy is sitting at 65°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that’s about the only thing that’s not disappointing.
It’s not until the morning of Sunday, August 9th, that we finally see a pulse of life. The swell picks up to 6 ft from the SW, with a period of 7 seconds. The combined energy jumps to 329 – that’s moderate wave energy, finally. The wind is a clean offshore from the SSW at 12 mph. That’s the standout for the whole window. It’s still a bit raw on the period, but with clean conditions and that size, it’s the best we’ve got. Godrevy is a beginner-friendly spot, so with 6 ft swell, it’s going to be a bit much for total beginners, but it’s fun for everyone else. Crowds are often an issue here, so expect company.
The following Monday morning, August 10th, still has some push with 5 ft swell from the WSW and clean offshore wind, but the energy is a step down at 216. After that, it fades again into the weak stuff.
So, for the best of a bad lot, set your sights on Sunday, August 9th. That’s your window. It’s not going to be epic, but it’s the only time the ocean is properly awake.

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.
