The Lowdown
Hey mate, let’s have a look at what Godrevy’s got cooking for us. Gotta be honest, the first bit of this run is pretty flat and frustrating. The real action is hiding right near the end of the forecast.
The first time you’ll even see a ripple worth talking about is Wednesday the 12th of August. We’re talking about a small 3ft W swell in the morning, but it’s got a cross-shore wind messing it up, and the energy is just moderate (126). It’s not good surf; it’s just something to bob around in. From there, it’s a dead zone. The whole week, and the next, is plagued by onshore and cross-onshore winds, keeping the surface choppy and the waves fat and weak. You’ll see nothing but tiny 1ft to 3ft swells with fresh breezes ruining any chance of a clean wave. Honestly, from the 11th through the 21st, you’re better off finding something else to do.
But hold on to your leash, because Friday the 21st of August is a game changer. Friday morning you’ve got a clean, cross-off breeze and a solid 6ft W swell rolling in. The energy kicks up to moderate-strong (432). Then the afternoon, and this is the real deal, you’re looking at a clean 8ft W swell. The wind swings offshore from the ESE, and the combined energy hits a strong 692. For a beginner spot like Godrevy, 8ft is big – it’s expert territory, for sure. But that offshore wind will groom it into some proper, clean walls. The swell direction (WNW) is exactly what this break needs. If you’re only paddling out once in this whole stretch, Friday the 21st is your day, specifically the afternoon.
The weekend after that (22nd-23rd) looks like a write-off again, with strong onshore winds making a mess of things. The good news is short and sweet. Water temps are about average for this time of year, so your normal spring suit should do.
Don’t waste your time on anything else. Circle Friday the 21st.

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.
