The Lowdown
G'day, it's Rusty. Look, I've got to be straight with you—this 16-day window for Godrevy is a tough one. There's no good surf on offer, not a single session that I'd be paddling out for. The whole stretch from Thursday the 23rd of July right through to Friday the 7th of August is a write-off, with no decent waves to speak of. It's a blank run, and that's just how it goes sometimes in this area; the forecasts can change, but for now, we're in a dry spell.
The only break we've got to look at is Godrevy, which is a beginner-friendly, fairly consistent spot exposed to the WNW. It's a classic reef setup that usually handles a bit of groundswell well, but the winds are just cruel. For the first few days, we're stuck with cross-onshore breezes getting stronger, and the swell is tiny, weak, and short-period—nothing doing. There's a bit of a pulse of energy on Sunday the 26th of July, with a combined energy of 464 (moderate wave energy), pushing 7ft from the WNW, but the moderate to fresh onshore wind from the NW is going to absolutely trash it. That's a messy, lumpy mess, not worth your time. The water temperature is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
The rest of the week is more of the same: small, weak, and often choppy. A few days toward the end of the month and into August show a glimmer of clean conditions with light cross-offshore winds, but the swell is a paltry 2ft—barely enough to get your rails wet. On Saturday the 1st of August, there's a 7ft pulse from the SW with a combined energy of 386 (moderate), but it's arriving with a fresh onshore breeze and a lumpy cross-chop. That's more of a kite-surfing setup than a paddle-surfing one. Then on Friday the 7th of August, we get a clean offshore wind from the ESE, but the swell is only 3ft from the north with a short period and weak energy (102). It's clean, but it's not going to be any fun. There's truly nothing to get excited about, so save your energy and wait for the next proper swell.

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.
