The Lowdown

Alright, let’s get this straight. The next 16 days are a bit of a mixed bag. We’ve got a long stretch of nothing much to start, then a couple of windows that could be interesting, but you’ll need to be patient.

Right now, through the end of July and into the first week of August, it’s pretty flat. The swell is small, mostly under 2ft, and the wind is all over the place – cross-on, onshore, choppy. Honestly, there’s nothing worth paddling out for. The energy is weak, like 72 (combined energy) at best, and that’s with a short 8-second period. It’s just not doing anything.

We’ll see a bit of a bump on the morning of Thursday, August 6th, but it’s still a cross-on wind and the swell is a tiny 1ft. Not worth it.

Then, things change. On the afternoon of Thursday, August 6th, there’s a sudden jump in swell. We’re looking at 6ft from the SSW, but the period is a pretty average 6 seconds, and the wind is a moderate cross-on. The combined energy hits 236, so you can feel it, but the conditions are choppy and poor. Not the one.

The real standout, the one that’s got my heart pumping, is the morning of Saturday, August 8th. We’ve got a solid 7ft swell from the west, with an 8-second period. The combined energy is a strong 816. But the best part? The wind is glassy. Absolutely glassy. It’s gonna be clean. The break is Godrevy, and it’s a fairly consistent spot. Keep in mind, with a swell this size (over 8ft in the afternoon, though the morning is 7ft), it’s getting into the territory where it’s not for beginners. It’s a good one for those who know what they’re doing. The water temperature is 65°, which is a touch warmer than normal for the time of year.

The afternoon of Saturday, August 8th drops off a bit to 5ft, and the wind goes cross-shore, so it’s not as clean. Still a decent wave, but the morning is the golden hour.

The following week, from the 9th onwards, the swell drops back down. By the 10th, we’re looking at 3ft to 4ft, but the wind is either cross-shore or cross-on, and the energy is weak (around 120-150). It’s back to being pretty poor.

There’s a bit of a bump on the 11th, with 4ft swell from the WSW, but the wind is a fresh 30 km/h cross-on, making it lumpy and messy. The combined energy is 228, but it’s not going to be a pleasant paddle.

So, to sum it up: the first week is a write-off. You’re waiting for that Saturday, August 8th morning. That’s your best bet. The glassy conditions and that 7ft west swell are a rare combination. It’s the one to circle on the calendar. After that, it’s back to the waiting game.

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.
