The Lowdown

Alright, folks. Rusty here. Let's cut through the noise and talk about what we’re working with.

The short story is, the first week is a bust. From Wednesday, August 26th, right through the end of the month, the surf is a mess. We’ve got some swell, but the wind is a total disaster. On Saturday, August 29th, there’s solid 8ft swell with a combined energy of 589, and by the afternoon it’s pushing 10ft with 1615 energy, but it’s all cross-shore at 28 mph. It’s not surfable. You’d be wasting your time.

The first real chance comes on Friday, September 4th. The morning at Godrevy is the pick of the entire forecast. We’re looking at 5ft of west swell with a 10-second period, and the wind is dead calm – glassy as a mirror. The combined energy is a solid 476, which is a nice moderate pulse. The water temp is about what you’d expect for this time of year, nothing wild. This is the day to make a plan. It’s a beginner-friendly spot, fairly consistent, but just be aware that crowds are a regular thing here, so get out there early.

After that, the surf drops off quickly. Saturday the 5th and Sunday the 6th of September are small and weak, with onshore winds.

Then, on Monday, September 7th, we get a big one. The morning shows 12ft west swell with a 10-second period and a huge combined energy of 2318. That’s a lot of power. The wind is clean, but the size is way too big for this break. This is a strictly-for-experts-only kind of day. The afternoon is still huge but gets lumpy and messy.

The rest of the second week is small and clean, but the swell is weak and short-period. Not worth the drive.

So, bottom line: the first week is a write-off. The only standout is Friday, September 4th, for clean, glassy surf. The 7th of September has the size for the brave, but it’s a beast. Otherwise, it’s a waiting game.

Rusty, out.

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.
