The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let’s break down the next couple of weeks for the surf.
Honestly, this is a rough stretch. For most of it, the wind is junk – onshore, cross-onshore, or just too strong – and it spoils what could be some alright swell. Water temp is about 63°F, which is normal for this time of year, so nothing crazy.
We don’t see any real surf worth chasing until Saturday, September 5th. That’s a good 3 to 4 days of nothing much from now. Friday the 4th has a 7.2ft WNW swell with solid energy, but the wind is onshore and it’s messy. Just watch it.
The real gem is Saturday the 5th at Godrevy. Morning is pure gold – glassy, offshore, a light breeze. The swell is a clean 4.6ft from the WNW, with a long 12-second period (groundswell), delivering strong energy (559 units). For a beginner-friendly spot, that’s a perfect size and clean. No crowds to worry about, but with those conditions, don’t be surprised if there’s a few. The afternoon drops to 3.9ft and still glassy – still fun.
Sunday the 6th is tiny, just 2ft, and clean but not worth the rubber.
Then the place goes dead. From Sunday the 6th all the way through to Monday, September 14th, it’s mostly poor, blown-out junk. The wind is a nightmare, cross-on and strong, even when there’s some size (like Monday the 7th with 7.5ft from the west and a 12-second period, but cross-on at 19 mph). That’s more of a kiteboarding day, not a paddle session. The energy that day is huge (1633), but it’s a mess.
The 13th and 14th of September see a small improvement – waist to chest high waves (3.9ft to 5.2ft) with moderate energy, and a longer 11-second period on the 14th, but the wind stays cross-on and choppy. Not a standout.
So, if you want the best wave of this entire 16-day window, it’s Saturday the 5th at Godrevy. Glassy, clean, and that long-period WNW groundswell. Everything else is a waiting game.

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.
Godrevy is 5 km (3 miles) from Camborne. If you plan a holiday in North Cornwall, look for hotels and other accommodation in Camborne. Camborne has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
