The Lowdown
Alright folks, it’s Rusty here. Let’s get into it. We’re looking at a pretty lean run for Godrevy. The forecast is mostly a write-off for the next week or so, with persistent onshore winds and poor surf quality. The few brief moments of hope are a long way off, so patience is key.
The first real flicker of something rideable doesn’t show until Wednesday the 12th of August. It’s a small, glassy morning with a 2ft swell from the west at 10 seconds. The combined energy is weak (107), but that glassy wind is a major positive for clean conditions. It’s for beginners and small-wave craft only, though, and it’s just a single morning window.
After that, the wind goes back onshore and lumpy until we get to Thursday the 20th of August. That morning, we finally see a proper setup. The wind swings offshore from the SSE, cleaning things right up. The swell is 4ft from the west-northwest, with a period of 9 seconds, packing a moderate 274 combined energy. It’s a solid, clean, beginner-friendly wave. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no need for a thick suit.
The standout here is absolutely that Thursday the 20th of August morning. It’s the only time in the whole 16-day window where the stars align for a clean, workable surf. It’s nothing huge, but that offshore wind and waist-high plus swell will make Godrevy shine. Get on it if you can.
The rest of the forecast is a messy mix of onshore breeze and lumpy lines. There’s a big spike in swell around the 18th and 19th of August, with waves over 8ft and strong energy (over 1000), but with onshore winds and a short period, it’s a washing machine. That’s more of a kite-surfing show than a paddler’s session.
So, in short: the first week is a dud, the second week is better but still patchy. The one and only standout is the morning of Thursday the 20th of August. Don’t sleep on it.
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.
