The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here again, with the same story in feet and miles. Let’s break it down.
The pattern starts off slow. Monday the 24th and Tuesday the 25th are flat with tiny 1ft swells and cross-off winds. Water temp is about average for the time of year, but with weak energy (combined swell energy around 42 to 89), it’s a no-go.
Wednesday the 26th is more of the same: a short period 2ft swell from the west at 8 seconds. Weak energy (49 to 70). Not worth the drive.
Thursday the 27th gets a bit more interesting. The swell builds to 5ft in the morning, then 8ft in the afternoon, both from the southwest with an 11-second period. That’s a proper groundswell. The combined energy hits 576 in the morning and 1184 in the afternoon—moderate to strong. But the wind is cross-shore and the surf is marginal with tide issues. The afternoon is bigger but lumpy. Worth a peek.
The first standout is Wednesday the 2nd of September. We’ve got a 10ft swell from the west-southwest at 8 seconds, with a combined energy of 1207. That’s a lot of water. But the surf is described as "too big for this break." That’s expert-only. The wind is cross-off and clean, which is a big plus, but the size and short period make it a heavy beast. Only for the brave.
After that, it’s messy again. Thursday the 3rd and Friday the 4th stay big (10ft and 6ft) but with strong cross-onshore winds and choppy, lumpy conditions. Energy stays high (over 1200) but the wind kills it.
Sunday the 6th of September is a weird one. The swell is 6ft to 7ft from the west, but the period is a very long 17 to 19 seconds. That’s a massive groundswell with a combined energy of 2765. Very strong. But the wind is onshore, ruining the surface. Long-period swells like this are better at a point or reef, and at Godrevy, they can break too straight. The morning is the best shot with a light onshore, but it’s not great.
Monday the 7th and Tuesday the 8th are still big (6ft to 12ft) with cross or onshore wind and a lot of energy (1321 to 4672). But the conditions are marginal and the wind keeps it messy.
So, the best on offer? Wednesday the 2nd of September for the experts, and maybe Sunday the 6th as a wildcard for those who can handle a long-period groundswell in onshore wind. For the rest of us, it’s a lot of waiting. Surf’s not really on our side.
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.
