The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for the Godrevy region over the next couple of weeks.
Well, I gotta be straight with you—this is a tough one. The whole 16-day window looks pretty grim for decent waves. The forecast is basically a long, disappointing stretch of poor surf conditions. We've got a solid run of days with nothing worth paddling out for, right from the start.
The first real chance for anything surfable, and I'm using that word loosely, is on the morning of Tuesday, 28 July. The swell is tiny, just 2 ft from the WNW, but the wind is a light, clean cross-off shore from the SSW. That's the best wind we'll see in a while, so the conditions will be clean. The wave energy is weak at just 84 (combined energy), and the period is a middling 9 seconds. It's a beggars-can't-be-choosers scenario, but it's rideable. The water temp is 64° and feels a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that's a plus.
Then we hit a bit of a gap. Nothing really worth mentioning until we get to Saturday, 1 August. The morning shows a promising pulse of swell: 7 ft from the WSW. That's a solid size. But the forecast says it's "marginal" with a score of 3 out of 10 for the morning, and the wind is a light cross-on from the west. The wave energy is strong at 1160 (combined energy), and the period is a nice 12 seconds. This is the standout of the whole forecast, but it's a long way off, so treat it as promising but not set in stone. Be warned, that's a chunky size for beginners, and the period is getting long, so it might be a bit straight for the beach break and better for the reef or points. Crowds are often an issue at Godrevy, so be prepared for that.
After that morning session, the window slams shut again. The rest of the first week of August is just messy onshore winds and choppy, poor surf. The wind ramps up to strong breeze levels, and the swell stays messy. There's a stretch from the 2nd of August right through to the end of the forecast on the 8th of August where you're just looking at poor conditions day after day. The swell is either too big and blown out, or too small and weak.
So, to sum it up: the Tuesday morning (28 July) is your only clean, small-wave option for a longboard or a funboard. The Saturday morning (1 August) is the one to circle on the calendar for a bigger swell, but it's a gamble this far out. For the rest of it, I'd be looking at other plans, or maybe a different sport. Given the strong winds and poor conditions, this setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing for most of that second week.
Keep your eyes on the forecasts, but don't hold your breath.
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.
