The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – the next couple of weeks at Godrevy are a tough watch. The forecast is a long, flat, and bumpy stretch, and there isn’t a single standout wave on the cards.

The problem is persistent onshore wind. For the first ten days, from Saturday the 15th right through to about Monday the 24th, we’ve got a relentless run of cross-onshore and onshore winds. The swell is tiny most of that time, peaking up to around 5 ft on Thursday the 20th, but it’s blown out. The water is sitting at about 65°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that doesn’t help the surface. The wave energy is moderate at best, with combined energy values hitting around 352 on that Thursday, but it’s messy.

After that, we hit a real flat spell. From Monday the 24th through to Friday the 28th of August, the swell drops right off – we’re talking 0.7 ft to 2 ft. There’s a brief moment of calm on Friday morning the 28th with a glassy 2 ft WSW wind swell, but it’s just not enough to paddle for. Then Saturday the 29th afternoon sees a sudden jump to 5 ft from the SSW, but it’s coming with onshore wind again and a short period of 6 seconds, so it’s going to be a disorganised mess.

Honestly, with that Saturday bump in size and the consistent onshore flow, the setup at Godrevy looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. There’s no surf worth chasing here for the next two weeks. These flat, windy runs happen; forecasts can change, but for now, give the board a rest.

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.
