The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on offer for the next couple of weeks.
Alright, so the honest truth is, we're looking at a pretty grim stretch for Godrevy. The whole 16-day window is a bit of a write-off, to be honest. There's no standout session, no day to really circle on the calendar. It's one of those periods where the forecast just doesn't want to play ball.
The first bit of surf worth paddling out for doesn't even show up until Monday morning, the 3rd of August. And even then, it's a bit of a struggle. The combined energy of the swell is 107 (moderate wave energy), but at 3ft from the WSW with a 9-second period, it's weak and the wind is going to be messy. It's a forgettable start.
We get a small bump on Tuesday the 4th of August—swell pushing 5ft from the SW, but with a short, weak 7-second period and a cross-shore wind, it's choppy and not worth getting excited about. The energy hits 201 (moderate) but it's all wind chop.
The biggest size we see in the first week is on Wednesday the 5th of August. Swell hits 6ft from the WSW with energy jumping to 331 (strong wave energy). But the wind is all over the shop, and the quality is rated as marginal. It's going to be a battle.
The second week is even quieter for the most part, with tiny waves and onshore winds. The one notable event is on Sunday the 9th of August. The swell jumps to 8ft from the West with a 9-second period, and the energy skyrockets to 1099 (very strong wave energy). That's a lot of water moving around. But it's an onshore wind, meaning it's going to be a beast of a closeout. That size is only for experts anyway, and with the wind like that, it's a no-go for anyone sensible.
The water temp at Godrevy is sitting at 65°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. That's about the only good news.
So, bottom line: there's nothing here that qualifies as a standout. The surf is poor, the wind is rarely kind, and the consistency just isn't there. We'll have to wait for the next forecast cycle to see if things improve. Keep the board in the car and the wax in the cupboard for now.
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.
Godrevy is 5 km (3 miles) from Camborne. If you plan a holiday in North Cornwall, look for hotels and other accommodation in Camborne. Camborne has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
