The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a proper look at the surf ahead for our little patch of coastline. We’ve got a long stretch of time to cover, so I’ll take you through it day by day.
To be honest, the first week or so is a real struggle. We’re looking at a lot of small, weak swell and constant wind issues. The opening days are all about tiny, cross-off waves that barely get the heart pumping. The combined energy of all swells is weak, sitting in the low 40s to 90s (42-91), and we’re dealing with short-period, wind-affected lines. Not much to write home about.
Things do get a bit more interesting from the 27th of August, but the quality is still a letdown. We see a spike in size on the 27th afternoon with a 1.8m (6ft) SW swell, but the period is short (7 seconds) and the wind is a fresh cross-off. The energy jumps to moderate (334), but the conditions are described as poor. The same story continues through the end of August and into early September. Swell sizes bump up to 2.5m (8ft), but the wind is consistently onshore or cross-shore, making for lumpy, choppy surf. The combined energy gets into the strong range (1098) on the 31st of August with a 2.5m (8ft) W swell, but the 30 km/h (19 mph) cross-onshore wind ruins it. This is more of a kite-surfing scenario than a clean paddle-surfing setup.
The only true glimmer of hope arrives way out in the forecast, on the 8th of September. That Tuesday morning, the numbers finally line up. We’re looking at a massive 4.0m (13ft) swell from the west, with a very long period of 16 seconds. The combined energy is off the charts at 8522. The wind is a clean offshore from the south at 30 km/h (19 mph). This is big, powerful, groundswell. For a spot like Godrevy, which is an exposed beach break, a swell of this size (over 2.5m or 8ft) is strictly for experts. The very long period (16 seconds) means the waves will have a lot of energy, but at a beach break, it might make things a bit too straight and closing out. It’s a standout for raw power, but it’s a long way off, so treat it as a promising but less certain prospect. The water temperature currently sits at 17° (63°F), which is about average for the time of year.
So, the short story is: the next week is a write-off for good surf. The one standout is that massive swell on the 8th of September, but it’s a big, powerful beast for the brave.
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.

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.
