The Lowdown
Right, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you. Looking at the 16-day window for this area, we’ve got a fair stretch of waiting. The first solid chance of a paddle doesn’t arrive for over a week. From now until Monday the 21st, the conditions are mostly messy with cross-shores, fresh breezes, and a lot of poor quality warnings. You’ll see some decent-sized swell pushing through mid-week, but the wind is going to chop it up. It’s a bit of a grind to get to the good stuff, but there’s one standout that makes it worth hanging on for.
The first real glimmer comes on Monday the 21st. Early morning at Godrevy, we’ve got a clean window with light offshore cross-off winds. The swell is a modest 3 ft out of the WNW with a nice long period of 13 seconds, giving the waves some real push and shape. The combined energy is moderate at 376, so there’s enough there for a fun session. The water’s sitting at about 64°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you might not even need the thickest rubber. This is a beginner-friendly break that is fairly consistent, but be aware that it can get crowded here often. If you want the best chance of a clean, lined-up wave, get on it early.
After that, things start to fade again. The rest of the second week is dominated by much smaller swells and cross-off winds that keep the surface clean, but the energy drops right off – we’re talking weak 1 ft to 2 ft surf with combined energy barely hitting triple digits (56 to 129). The swell direction swings to the west and the period stays decent, but the size just isn’t there for a proper ride. For a beginner spot like this, it’s more of a recovery day or a learner’s splash than a standout session. The true prize is that Monday morning; everything else is a waiting game for the next pulse.
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.
