The Lowdown
Right then, folks. Rusty here. Let's have a good look at what Godrevy's got cookin' for us over the next couple of weeks. I'll be straight with you – it's a bit of a mixed bag, with some proper clean windows but also some right old slop to sit through.
The long and short of it is that there's some swell on the horizon, but for the majority of the time, the wind is going to be a real pain in the backside, making it tricky to find anything decent. We've got a few sessions worth getting excited about, particularly for those who don't mind a bit of size.
Starting off, we've got a few days of small, weak stuff. Tuesday the 25th is a non-starter with a tiny 2 ft WNW wind-swell and a brisk easterly blowing across it. Energy is a feeble 93 (weak). Wednesday the 26th and Thursday the 27th are similar – small, weak and messy. The combined swell energy stays well under 100 most of the time, just not enough push.
By Friday the 28th, the swell starts to pick up a bit, but the wind swings onshore. We're looking at 4 ft to 5 ft of short-period slop, and with a cross-onshore wind making it choppy, it's not worth suiting up for. Saturday the 29th gets proper lumpy and big, with 7 ft to 8 ft of short-period swell but a howling 19 mph cross-onshore. The energy numbers are climbing (444 to 1059, moderate to strong), but it's all blown out. The weekend is a write-off, with strong winds and messy conditions right through Sunday.
Monday the 31st of August sees a big jump: a 10 ft W swell with a 10-second period, and the wind is straight offshore from the WNW! That's a decent size for Godrevy, and it's gonna be too big and powerful for beginners, but for the experienced crew, this is a classic window. The swell energy is a meaty 1403 (strong). The problem is that the wind is forecast to be a fresh breeze, so it won't be pristine, but it'll be a proper, powerful surf. Tuesday the 1st of September is similar, with the wind swinging cross-shore and making it lumpy again.
Now, here's where it gets interesting. The standout comes on Tuesday the 8th of September. After a bit of a lull, we've got a nice 7 ft groundswell from the WSW with a long, juicy 14-second period. The wind is a light 6 mph cross-off from the NE, and the water temp is about average for this time of year – nothing crazy. The combined swell energy is a hefty 2101 (strong). This is the one to circle on the calendar. It's excellent surf for experienced surfers, with clean conditions and plenty of power. The long period means it'll have proper grunt and push right through, and that offshore wind will have it looking clean. The only caveat is that with a period that long, it might break a bit straight across the beach, but Godrevy is a good spot for it.
Then on Wednesday the 9th of September, we get another cracker. A 10 ft W swell with a 9-second period, but the wind is forecast to be glassy – a 3 mph SSW. That's as good as it gets for conditions. It'll be absolutely beautiful out there. However, at 10 ft, that's serious size for Godrevy, and the forecast mentions it's too big for this break for most. For the expert crew, you'll be having the session of the month. The energy is through the roof at 2458 (very strong).
So, to sum up: ignore the first week; it's just dirty swell and onshore wind. The best bets are further out. Monday the 31st of August is your first proper go, but it'll be a bit wind-affected. The real standouts are Tuesday the 8th of September (7 ft, 14s, clean for experienced surfers) and Wednesday the 9th of September (10 ft, glassy, for experts only). The crowds at Godrevy are often around, so expect company on these days.
Take it easy.
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.
