The Lowdown
Alright, grab a seat. Let’s have a chat about what the ocean’s got cookin’ over the next couple of weeks.
To be brutally honest, it’s a tough stretch ahead. We’ve got one spot, Godrevy, and it’s a beginner-friendly, fairly consistent break that’s exposed to the open ocean. The water temp is about 64°F, which is pretty much what you’d expect for this time of year.
But here’s the kicker: for the next week and a half, the conditions are just poor. We’re looking at a real long, dry spell. Starting Thursday the 27th, through to the afternoon of Sunday, September 6th, the surf is simply not worth paddling out. The winds are all over the place – cross, cross-on, and sometimes howling. The swell energy is weak to moderate at best, and the wave comment tells the whole story: poor surf. It’s just not happening.
Now, we do get a flicker of hope later on. Monday, September 7th, a big WNW swell rolls in. We’re talking 12 ft of swell, with a combined energy that’s very strong (1704). But the forecast says it’s predicted to be too big for this break, so unless you’re a proper expert looking for a challenge, that’s a miss. The wind is light and offshore from the NW in the morning, which would be clean, but that size is a lot for a spot like this.
After that, there are some glimmers. Tuesday morning, September 8th, looks the best of a bad bunch. We’ve got a clean 5 ft swell from the west, with a long period of 11 seconds and a nice cross-off breeze from the SSW. That’s a groundswell, so it’ll have some shape and energy (544). It’s a good window for a paddle, but it’s not a world-beater. Expect some crowds, as it’s a popular spot.
The rest of the second week into September 11th is a write-off again with more strong, messy winds and poor surf.
So, what’s the call? If you’re desperate, keep an eye on Tuesday morning, September 8th. That’s the only real window where you might find a clean, rideable wave. Otherwise, save your energy. The forecasts can always change, but right now, it’s looking like a long wait.

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.
