The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what's on the cards for our local stretch.
Right off the bat, I'll be straight with you – it's a rough stretch. We're looking at a solid 16-day window, but the first week and a half is pretty much a write-off. We have a long gap from now until the end of the first week of August with nothing worth paddling out for. The surf is tiny, the wind is mostly onshore or cross-shore, and the swell is weak and messy. Honestly, it’s a good time to clean the wax off your board.
Godrevy is the only spot we've got data for, and it's a tough one. The water temp is sitting around 64°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won't be freezing your toes off.
The first real glimmer of hope doesn't come until Thursday the 30th of July. The Thursday morning session at Godrevy is looking like the pick of the entire period. We’ve got a clean, cross-offshore wind from the east at 9 mph, which will tidy things right up. The swell is a tiny 2 ft from the west-northwest, and the period is 9 seconds – not a groundswell, but enough to wrap in. The combined energy is weak at 41, so don't expect any barrels, but a clean, tiny wave for a log is on the cards. The wind stays clean through the afternoon, too, with a similar 2 ft from the west-northwest and a 10-second period, bumping the energy up to 57. This is the standout: not for size, but for the absolute cleanest conditions we'll see in the whole forecast.
Other than that, it's pretty grim. The end of the period on Monday the 3rd of August sees a bump in swell to 4 ft from the west-northwest, but the wind is ripping from the same direction at 19 mph, creating a fresh cross-onshore lump. The energy is moderate at 104, but the wind will chop it to pieces. That’s more of a kite-surfing session than a paddle-surfing one.
So, to sum it up: sit tight, do your repairs, and if you're desperate for a splash, be on the water early on Thursday the 30th for the cleanest, albeit smallest, waves on offer.
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.
