The Lowdown
Alright, grab a coffee, because there’s a lot to unpack. The next 16 days at Godrevy are a right rollercoaster, and for the first week, it’s a proper struggle. But if you’re patient, there’s a golden window.
The first week is a washout. Tuesday the 25th has tiny 2ft to 2ft swell from the WNW, but it’s crossed up by a moderate breeze and the energy is weak (66-115). Not worth bothering. Wednesday and Thursday are the same – small, poor conditions, and the wind is a pain. By Friday the 28th, the swell bumps to 6ft to 6ft from the W, but it’s a messy cross-onshore chop with moderate energy (404-368). The weekend gets bigger, but the wind is howling. Saturday the 29th sees 10ft from the WSW with a fresh cross-onshore, and the combined energy is strong (989-1183). That’s not surfable – it’s a mess. The whole first week is a write-off.
Then things get real. The standout window is Sunday the 6th of September. The swell is a solid 10ft from the W, but here’s the thing: the wind is offshore in the morning, turning light and cross-off, and the period is 10-12 seconds. The combined energy is very strong (1669-2610). The data says the swell is predicted to be too big for this break, but the wind and tide are favorable. For a confident crew, this is the real deal. Godrevy is a beginner-friendly spot, so at 10ft, this is expert-only territory. The water temperature is about 63°F, which is pretty normal for the time of year, so no worries there.
The Monday the 7th is still big, but the wind swings onshore and the quality drops. Tuesday the 8th has another big pulse – 10ft from the W, 12-second period, with a strong cross-shore and lumpy conditions. The combined energy is massive (3129-3226), but the wind is cross, so it’s messy. The data calls it marginal, and I’d agree. By Wednesday the 9th, the swell drops to 6ft from the W with a clean offshore wind, but it’s a better call for the smaller-wave crew.
So, the best you’ve got is that Sunday the 6th of September. It’s the only true standout – big, ground-swell energy, offshore wind, and the potential for some proper waves. The long period (12 seconds) means it’ll be a groundswell, so it might break a bit straight on the beach, but for a reef or point, it’d be magic. At Godrevy, it’ll be a powerful, clean wave if you can handle the size. The rest of the window is mostly wind-affected or too small. Keep an eye on the forecasts, but that Sunday is the one to circle.

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.
