The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a proper look at what's on offer for the next couple of weeks at Godrevy. I gotta be straight with you – it's a bit of a lean spell. The forecast kicks off on Sunday, 9th August, but there's nothing to write home about until Wednesday, 12th August. That's a solid three-day gap with no decent surf.
The first real glimmer of hope comes on Wednesday morning, 12th August. The swell is small, around 3ft from the west, with a moderate wave energy (132). The wind is cross-offshore from the east, keeping conditions clean. It's surfable, but very ordinary. The afternoon picks up a little with a 3ft west swell and a clean offshore breeze from the ESE. Wave energy nudges up (136), but it's still just a one-star day. Not a standout, but it's the only game in town.
Thursday morning, 13th August, sees a jump in swell size to 4ft from the west, with a period of 11 seconds and strong wave energy (328). That sounds promising, but the wind is howling cross-onshore from the NNW at 12 mph, making it choppy and messy. It's a no-go. The afternoon is equally poor with onshore winds.
We get a few more days of small, weak, and mostly wind-affected surf through the 14th and 15th. Saturday morning, 15th August, offers a 3ft north swell (72 energy) with a clean cross-offshore breeze, but it's a short-period windswell at 5 seconds. It's surfable, but again, nothing to get excited about. The rest of the weekend and into the following week stays small, with the swell struggling to break 3ft, and the wind is either onshore or cross-onshore, keeping the quality poor.
The only real standout, if you can call it that, is looking further out. Thursday, 20th August, shows a 4ft swell from the WNW with a 10-second period and strong energy (252). But the wind is a fresh cross-onshore from the north at 19 mph, creating lumpy, chop conditions. That's more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle-surfing one, to be honest. The same goes for the following Sunday, 23rd August, with similar size and messy onshore winds.
Frankly, the best call is to keep an eye on Wednesday morning, 12th August, for a small, clean session, or maybe the early part of the second week if the wind shifts. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, nothing unusual. The consistent lack of quality surf and clean conditions means this is a pretty barren run. Forecasts can change, but for now, don't sell the farm for a session at Godrevy.

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.
