The Lowdown
Alright crew, Rusty here. Let's get into the outlook for our local break, Godrevy. We're looking at a 16-day picture, and it's a bit of a story of two halves.
First up, the bad news. From Friday the 11th right through to the following week, it's rough. There's plenty of swell on the table – we see waves up to 6ft on Tuesday the 15th – but the wind is just killing it. Onshore and cross-shore breezes are going to chop everything up. It's a long run of poor surf conditions, so don't bother paddling out unless you want a fight. For a lot of this stretch, the setup looks more appealing to kite surfers than to those of us on a paddle board.
The water is sitting at 64°F, which is a touch warmer than what's normal for this time of year.
Now, here's the one that's got my attention. Saturday the 19th of September. We've got a solid forecast for clean conditions. A light offshore wind from the south at just 6 mph will set the faces up beautifully. The swell is a fun 4ft from the west with a 11-second period. That's a proper groundswell – good energy, nice shape, but expect longer waits between sets. The energy reading is 284, which is moderate. It won't be pumping, but it will be clean, which is a major win after all that junk. Godrevy is a beginner-friendly spot and it's "fairly consistent", so it should be working. Word to the wise though, it's "often" crowded, so get there early. This Saturday is the clear standout.
Sunday the 20th has some cross-off wind too, but the wind is stronger, so the quality goes down a notch.
Looking further out into the second week, there's a promising but less certain window. On Wednesday the 23rd of September, we see a 5ft swell from the WNW with a 13-second period. That's a lot of long-period energy coming through (799 energy reading), and it would be clean with an easterly cross-off breeze. That could be a ripper, but it's a long way out, so it's one to keep an eye on, not to book time off work for.
Thursday the 24th also looks clean with a light offshore and 4ft waves, but again, it's on the horizon.
So, my take? Forget this week. Mark your calendar for Saturday the 19th for the cleanest waves we're likely to see. And maybe put a mental note in for Wednesday the 23rd as a potential sleeper.
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.
