The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here again. Let’s break down what’s on the table for Godrevy in feet and Fahrenheit.

Honestly, the first week and a half is a tough watch. There’s practically nothing worth getting wet for. The swell is tiny and weak, and the wind is constantly working against it. The first real chance of a decent wave doesn’t show up until Sunday, August 23rd, and it’s a short-lived window.

From now through Saturday the 22nd, don’t bother. Swell heights are mostly under 3 feet, and the wind is cross-onshore or onshore, leaving the surface choppy and bumpy. Wave energy is low, with the combined energy mostly under 320. For a beach break like Godrevy, that’s just not enough.

The water temperature is about 65°, which feels a bit warmer than normal for this time of year – roughly 3° above average. Nice if you’re in the water, but you still need waves to make it worth it.

Then Sunday the 23rd of August rolls in with a proper pulse. A west swell pushes through at around 8 feet, with an 8-second period. Wave energy jumps to 787, which is solid. The wind turns light from the south, giving us clean, cross-offshore conditions. The morning is the best bet – glassy, lined-up waves and good energy. The afternoon stays clean but the swell drops to just over 6 feet, with energy at 599. Still fun, just a little less punchy. For that size, it’s more of an experienced surfer’s wave, especially with the rips that can pull at a beach break. And with crowds often around here, if it’s good, it’ll be busy.

That Sunday is your only real shot. By Monday the 24th, the swell swings north, drops to just over 4 feet, and the period shortens. It’s back to ordinary. The rest of the outlook slides back into small and messy.

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.
