The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here with the straight goods. This stretch for Godrevy is a real drought – the entire 16-day forecast, from the 4th of August to the 19th, is a total washout. Every single session is showing poor surf conditions, so there’s nothing to recommend.
The first few days, from Tuesday the 4th to the 6th, are just plain ugly. We’ve got 4ft to 7ft of swell from the SW and WNW, but with a short, weak period of 6 to 7 seconds, it’s all wind chop. The wind is blowing 15 to 18 mph from the southwest and west-northwest, cross-shore and onshore, making it a lumpy, messy surface. The wave energy is moderate, hitting 194, 157, 423, and 246, but it’s all wasted.
Saturday morning the 8th gives us a glimmer of glassy conditions with a light 3 mph northeast breeze, but the swell is a tiny 1.0ft with a long period of 9 seconds and a weak energy of 24. It’s just not enough to ride.
The middle of the week, from the 9th to the 12th, brings a little more swell, but with periods under 8 seconds and mostly onshore or cross-shore winds, the quality is still garbage. By Wednesday the 12th afternoon, we finally see a surfable but very ordinary setup – 3ft from the WSW with a 9-second period and a moderate offshore breeze from the southeast at 12 mph. The energy is moderate at 115, and the wind is clean, but the size is too small to get excited about. The water is 65°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year.
The second week, from the 13th to the 19th, is more of the same – onshore winds, short-period swell, and poor conditions. There’s a pulse of 4ft to 5ft on the 13th and 14th, but with fresh onshore winds at 15 to 18 mph, it’s a mess. The 19th shows a 4ft swell from the WNW with a 9-second period and a strong energy of 439, but it’s onshore at 15 mph, so you’ll be fighting the wind.
The bottom line: There is no standout session, no clean waves, and no reason to paddle out. Godrevy is a fairly consistent spot, so this dry spell is a bit unusual, but it is what it is. Forecasts can change, but for now, leave the board in the shed.
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.
