The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what's coming our way for Godrevy. It's a bit of a mixed bag, so let's get into it straight away.

The forecast kicks off with a rough patch. Thursday and Friday (3rd and 4th September) are a write-off. We've got a moderate 5ft to 7ft of Westerly swell coming in, but the wind is a mean cross-shore or onshore, making for lumpy, choppy, and generally poor surf conditions. You wouldn't want to be out there. Just leave it.

Then, hold onto your boardies, because we get a serious standout window. Saturday, 5th September is where it's at. The morning is looking pristine with a glassy 5ft W swell, period stretching to a nice 12 seconds. That's a clean, well-shaped groundswell setting up. The combined energy here is strong, measuring 646. For Godrevy, which is an exposed beginner-friendly break, that offshore wind from the WNW will set up some clean, smooth peelers off the sandbank. It will be the best surf of the whole outlook, no question. The water temp is about average for this time of year, so a 3/2 wetsuit will do you fine.

Sunday (6th September) drops right off. The swell plummets to 2ft with weak energy (75), and even though the wind is offshore, there's just not enough push to bother with.

Now, the start of the week turns heavy. Monday the 7th sees a real pulse of energy hit – a 8ft W swell with a combined energy of 1477. That’s strong, and the period at 12 seconds has some real weight. But the wind is a messy cross-onshore, so it will be chopped up and poor quality. Tuesday the 8th is even bigger, hitting 10ft from the W with 1299 energy. That's expert-only territory, if anyone dares, and with a strong cross-onshore, it’s not going to be pretty. Honestly, this setup looks a lot more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, as the wind and bumpy conditions will make for some big, lumpy rides for them.

The rest of the first week and into the second week is mostly a gap of poor to ordinary conditions. There are a few flickers of hope. The afternoon of the 10th sees a 5ft W swell with clean cross-offshore winds, earning a "good surf conditions" call. The 15th (Tuesday morning) also shows promise: a glassy, clean 4ft W swell with a period of 10 seconds and decent energy of 473. That could be a really nice, user-friendly morning for a longboard or funboard. That’s likely the second-best option in the whole period.

After that, things taper off into small, weak surf with very little energy through the end of the 16-day window. The swell stays small and direction shifts around, but without any solid power.

So, your one standout is Saturday morning, 5th September for Godrevy. Get amongst that glassy, clean 5ft W swell. Keep the second week of September in your peripheral vision for a possible clean-up on the 15th morning, but don't bank on it. For everything else, you’re better off waiting for the next system to roll through.

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.
