Godrevy Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at what’s on the cards for our stretch of coast over the next couple of weeks. I’ll be straight with you – it’s a tough one to call right now.

We’re kicking off with a bit of a flat spell. The first real surf worth paddling out for doesn’t show up until the morning of Thursday, 3rd July. Before that, Thursday and Friday the 2nd and 3rd are a write-off. The swell is there but the conditions are messy, with onshore and cross-onshore winds making a mess of things. We’re looking at a 7 ft swell on Thursday morning from the WNW, but with 16 mph winds straight on it, it’s not inviting. The combined energy is moderate at 607, but the quality is poor.

Friday the 3rd is still a bit of a struggle. The morning sees a 5 ft W swell with a 10-second period and a light cross-onshore breeze. The energy drops to 395, and it’s only marginal. The afternoon cleans up a touch wind-wise, but the swell backs off to 4 ft and the cross-on wind picks up. Still not the one.

Honestly, the whole first week is looking pretty average. We’ve got small swell and persistent cross-onshore or onshore winds right through to Tuesday the 8th. The waves are just not cooperating. The water temp hangs around 61°F, which is pretty much spot on for this time of year – nothing unusual there.

Now, where it gets interesting is the second week. Around Thursday the 10th of July, the wind swings offshore from the east, giving us clean conditions. The swell on Friday afternoon the 10th jumps up to 5 ft, but it’s a short-period 6-second wind swell from the north. The energy reading is moderate at 244, and the offshore wind will make it look clean, but that short period means it’s going to be lumpy and weak. Probably more of a kite-surfing show than a proper paddle session at a beach break like this.

The standout moment, if you can wait, is the morning of Wednesday the 15th of July. We’ve got a clean, cross-offshore breeze from the east-northeast at just 9 mph. The swell is tiny – only 0.7 ft – but it’s a long-period groundswell from the south-southwest with a 16-second period. The energy reading is weak at 50, but with that period and clean wind, it might just offer a few glassy little peelers for a patient soul on a log. It’s a “surfable but very ordinary” kind of day. Not a standout for size, but for the sheer calm and quality of the surface, it’s the cleanest window we’ve got.

After that, we trail off into very small, onshore slop for the rest of the period.

So there you have it. A lean couple of weeks. The only real highlight is that clean, tiny, long-period morning on Wednesday the 15th. Keep your expectations low and your eyes on the horizon, and we’ll see what the next update brings.

Rusty.
