The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this is a rough run for Godrevy. Over the next 16 days, the surf forecast is a real struggle. There are no proper, rideable waves on offer, and the whole period is plagued by messy, onshore, or cross-onshore winds, with poor conditions dominating every single day.
The first half of the outlook, from Thursday 16th July right through to Tuesday 28th July, is a write-off. The swell is tiny – mostly around 1ft to 4ft – and the wind is almost always from the north, which is cross-on at Godrevy. The water temp is sitting at 63°F, which is a degree warmer than average for this time of year, so at least the water is comfortable, but you’ll be sitting on a flat, choppy sea. The combined swell energy is weak, mostly under 100 (30-100), with only a few days cracking the 100 mark, but even then the wind ruins it.
There is a tiny glimmer on the morning of Tuesday 28th July. The wind goes glassy and the swell is 4ft from the west with a period of 6 seconds. The combined energy is 136, which is moderate, and the conditions are described as "glassy." It’s the only time in the whole 16 days you might get a surfable wave, but it’s not a standout. The swell is small and short-period, so it’s really only for the desperate or the beginner. For the rest of that week, it’s back to wind and chop.
After that, from Wednesday 29th July through Friday 31st July, the swell picks up a bit to 4ft-5ft from the west, with combined energy jumping into the 120-298 range, which is moderate to strong. But the wind is fresh onshore or cross-onshore, making it lumpy and choppy. This is not a paddle surfer’s setup. With that much wind and those beach-break conditions, this is looking more interesting for kite surfing than anything on a surfboard.
Honestly, there’s nothing to get excited about here. The best I can say is glassy conditions on the 28th morning, but that’s a one-session wonder. The rest is a long, blank stretch. Hang in there, and check back in a few days – things can change.
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.
