The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. Right now, it’s a bit of a tough stretch for surf around here. The first few days are looking pretty ordinary, with lousy swell quality and poor conditions. There’s a big gap of nothing much happening until we get into the second week, so hold tight.
The first real glimmer of something surfable comes on Wednesday morning, 2nd September. It’s super small, with waves around 3 ft from the WSW, but the wind is glassy, dead calm. That’s a rare treat, and for a beginner-friendly break like Godrevy, it’s a nice little window. The combined energy is weak (97), so it’s more about the clean, smooth surface than the power. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual.
After that, it’s back to marginal stuff for a few days. The morning of Friday, 4th September has a chance with 5 ft from the west and a light cross-on breeze, but it’s still only a marginal call. The real standout I’m looking at is the Monday morning, 7th September. Swell is building to 8 ft from the WNW, period around 8 seconds, and the wind is light onshore from the NW. The combined energy is moderate (642), and it’s rated as marginal but with a slightly better score. This is a solid, punchy wave for the area, but at that size it’s getting into the too-big-for-beginners territory. For the experienced crew, it’s worth a look.
Then Friday morning, 11th September is another promising one. The swell is 8 ft from the west, period 9 seconds, with a moderate cross-shore from the NE. The combined energy is strong (1033), so there’s plenty of power in the water. Again, this is more for the experts. The wind isn’t perfect, but it’s manageable.
So, overall, nothing is firing on all cylinders for a long stretch, but the glassy Wednesday morning and the bigger Monday and Friday morning windows are the ones to keep an eye on. The forecast is more reliable for the first few days, but the longer-range stuff has potential. Stay patient.

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.
