The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what Godrevy's got cookin' for us over the next couple of weeks.
Well, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a bit of a slow start. For the first week and a half, this is looking pretty flat and messy. The onshore winds are just gonna chop everything up. Honestly, there's nothing worth paddling out for from Sunday the 16th right through until the middle of the following week. You’re looking at a solid 10-day gap of poor conditions. The wind just won't give us a break.
Things do start to look a little more interesting towards the end of the run. We’ve got a pulse of energy showing up on Friday morning the 28th of August. The swell is gonna jump to 8ft from the west with a moderate 10-second period, and the combined swell energy is a beefy 1048 – that’s some proper oomph. Now, that size is expert territory, way too big for beginners. The wind is light and cross-shore, which is much better than what we’ve seen. It’s a promising sign, but it's still a fair way out, so keep an eye on that one.
The only real standout to even mention is Godrevy itself. On Thursday the 27th of August, in the afternoon, we finally get some clean-looking surf. It’s small, only 3ft from the west, with a decent 7-second period. The magic ingredient is that clean offshore wind from the SSE, and the combined swell energy sits at 105. It’s not a bomb, but clean waves? Onshore winds have been our enemy for so long, that a little bit of glassy, clean surf will feel like heaven. Just be aware that crowds are often a thing here.
Forget the rest of that long flat spell. Keep your eyes on the last few days of the month for the best chance of a wave.

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.
