The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's cut through the noise and get straight to what matters—the waves. Godrevy is the only game in town on this stretch, and to be honest, it's looking like a tough couple of weeks.
Right off the bat, we've got some surf but nothing worth paddling out for. The first week is a real write-off. From Thursday the 10th right through to Tuesday the 15th, we're looking at a lot of onshore and cross-shore winds, lumpy, choppy conditions, and just poor quality. There's some size in there—like a 7ft west swell on the 10th afternoon with 573 (moderate energy)—but it's riding a 30 km/h cross-southwest wind and a short 8-second period. That's not surf, that's a washing machine. The water is sitting at 64°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for the time of year, but you won't care if you're getting blown off the face of it.
We finally get a tiny window on Sunday the 13th morning. A 5ft west swell with a 10-second period and 509 (moderate energy) rolling in, paired with a light 15 km/h WNW onshore wind. It's listed as marginal, and I'd agree. The wind is on it, but at that size and period, Godrevy might just hold enough shape for a few, especially if you're a beginner looking for a soft roll. The crowds are likely here, and for a break that's fairly consistent, this is about as good as it gets in the near term. But honestly, it's a scrap.
Then we've got another lull. The middle of the week—Monday 14th and Tuesday 15th—offers some clean-looking conditions with cross-off winds, but the swell drops to a wobbly 3ft to 3ft. Not enough push to get excited about.
A bit of a pulse shows up on Tuesday the 15th morning: a 6ft WNW groundswell with a 10-second period and a whopping 664 (moderate-to-strong energy). But the wind is a heavy 30 km/h onshore from the NW. That's a clean face blown to bits before it even stands up. Same story on the 16th—a 6ft WNW swell with 813 (strong energy) but wind is cross-onshore and fresh. The energy is there, but the wind just kills it. Godrevy is exposed to WNW, which is the optimum direction, but the period (10-11 seconds) isn't long enough to really set up well with this wind. For a beach break, the long 11-second period on the 16th afternoon might actually make it break too straight—best left alone.
The long-range forecast? Painful. From the 17th onward it's a lot of small, weak, or wind-affected westerly swells. There's a 6ft WNW swell on the 24th morning with a 7-second period and 327 (weak-to-moderate energy). That's a really short period, so it'll be lumpy and unrideable for a decent wave. The 25th morning shows a promising-looking 7ft west swell with offshore winds from the south, giving clean conditions. But look closer—that 7ft is on a 8-second period and the 545 (moderate) energy. It's going to be a close-out, soft, and likely too big for beginners and not powerful enough for the crew. Definitely not the standout we were hoping for.
So where's the best of the bunch? Honestly, the best bet is that Sunday the 13th morning. It's not good, but it's the least bad. A small, clean-ish westerly bump with light wind. If you're desperate, go then. Otherwise, this 16-day window is a blank run for Godrevy. It happens. Forecasts can always change, but right now, the setup looks more interesting for a kite surfer than someone on a paddle board. Keep an eye on the charts, but don't hold your breath.
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.
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.
