The Lowdown

Alright, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks.

Right off the bat, I’ve got to be straight with you – the surf is looking pretty flat and uninspiring for a stretch. We’re looking at a gap of about four days with nothing really worth paddling out for. The first real chance to get wet doesn’t come until Wednesday the 12th, and even then it’s not exactly firing.

Godrevy is the only spot in the game here. It’s a beginner-friendly, fairly consistent break that’s exposed to the west-northwest. The water’s sitting at about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.

The action, if you can call it that, starts to pick up a little on Wednesday the 12th. We’ve got a moderate swell coming in from the west at 3 ft, with a period of 10 seconds and a combined energy of 132 – that’s weak to moderate energy. The wind is a strong offshore from the southeast, which is great for clean faces, but it’s going to be a real battle to paddle into anything. The morning is particularly tough with that 25 mph wind. The afternoon eases up to a 16 mph offshore, making it a bit more manageable, but it’s still just “surfable waves in very ordinary conditions.” Not a standout.

Thursday the 13th sees a bit more push in the water, with the swell bumping up to 4 ft from the west, period of 11 seconds, and the energy jumping to 276 – moderate energy. But the wind is a cross-onshore from the north, making it choppy and messy. Poor surf conditions all day.

Friday the 14th is more of the same. A 3 ft west swell with a 9-second period and 184 energy, but again that northerly cross-onshore wind is ruining the party. Choppy and poor.

The weekend of the 15th and 16th is a write-off. The swell drops back to under 3 ft, the wind stays onshore or cross-shore, and the energy is weak. Not worth a look.

Now, Monday the 17th brings a bit more size. The swell is 5 ft from the west, period 9 seconds, and energy of 304 – this is now moderate wave energy. But the wind is a strong onshore from the west-northwest, so the surface is going to be a mess. Poor surf conditions.

Tuesday the 18th is the biggest swell of the period, but it’s a bit of a beast. We’re looking at 8 ft from the west-northwest, with an 8-second period and energy readings of 798 in the morning and 1035 in the afternoon – that’s strong to very strong wave energy. This is expert-only territory, and even then, the wind is onshore from the north-northwest. The afternoon is described as “marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions.” The short period means it’s going to be a washing machine, and with onshore wind, it’s going to be messy and hard to control. Honestly, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.

The rest of the week into the 23rd is a mix of small, weak swells with onshore or cross-shore winds. The wind does swing offshore on the 21st, with a 5 ft west swell and a 6-second period, but the energy is only 199. It’s surfable, but very ordinary.

If I had to pick the best of a bad bunch, it would be Wednesday the 12th afternoon. The 3 ft west-southwest swell with a 9-second period and 114 energy, combined with a moderate offshore wind, gives you the cleanest waves of the whole period. It’s small, but it’s clean. For a beginner, that’s your window. Don’t get your hopes up for anything else.

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.
