The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at what's on the cards for Godrevy over the next couple of weeks.
First off, let's be real – it's a grim start. The finder shows no good surf options for a solid stretch, so we're looking at a gap of over a week of pretty poor conditions. The water temp is sitting about average for this time of year, nothing to write home about there.
Tuesday (4th August) kicks off with a weak, short-period 4ft SW swell (187 combined energy) and a moderate cross-shore breeze – lumpy and messy. Wednesday (5th August) sees a bit more size with a 6ft W swell (388 combined energy), but it's cross-onshore and choppy, so not worth paddling out for. Thursday (6th August) through to the following Monday (11th August) is a write-off: tiny waves, onshore winds, and next to no energy. Honestly, for a beach break like Godrevy, this setup would be more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing.
We finally get a sniff of something on Wednesday morning, 12th August. A light offshore (SE) breeze will clean up a tiny 2ft W swell (56 combined energy). The conditions are described as "clean" and surfable, but it's very ordinary. Not a standout, but it's the only game in town.
The next glimmer of hope appears on Monday, 17th August. We've got a 4ft W swell (231 combined energy) with a gentle cross-shore breeze. It's marginal, but the swell period picks up to 9 seconds, which is a bit better. The real promise, though, is Wednesday, 19th August. A 7ft WNW swell (629 combined energy – moderate to strong) with a gentle onshore breeze. That's a solid size, but at 7ft it's getting into the range that's best for experienced surfers, especially if it's a bit lumpy. The steer is though, it's a long way out, so keep an eye on it.
The one true standout that catches my eye is the Wednesday morning, 12th August. It's not big, but it's the only time we see glassy conditions with that offshore wind. If you're desperate for a clean wave, that's your window.
So, grit your teeth through the first week, and keep your fingers crossed for that last week. The long-range stuff on the 19th looks promising, but it's a way off.
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.
