The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here, giving you the straight talk for Godrevy over the next couple weeks. It's a slow start, but one morning might just be worth the wait.
Right off the bat, Sunday the 16th of August is a bust. We've got a tiny 1ft WNW swell with cross-on winds. The water is a touch warmer than usual at 65°, but the wave energy is weak (36). Just messy and small.
Monday the 17th and Tuesday the 18th stay in the "meh" category. Swell gets up to 3ft to 4ft, but the period is short (6 to 8 seconds) and the wind is onshore. Energy is moderate (115-135). Not worth rushing for.
Wednesday the 19th of August gets a bit of size with swell at 5ft to 6ft, but it's lumpy with cross-on winds gusting to 19 mph. The energy is up (307-397), but the quality is poor. Thursday the 20th brings the biggest swell of the early period at 7ft (783), but again, onshore wind makes it a tough, messy paddle. This is expert-only territory if you're looking for a beating.
From Friday the 21st all the way to Friday the 28th of August, it's a long, flat stretch. We see a few clean mornings on the 23rd and 24th, but with swell barely 0.7ft to 2ft (25-123), it's nothing to write home about. A serious gap in quality for nearly a week.
Now for the one that matters. On Friday the 28th of August, Godrevy gets a real chance. A 6ft WSW swell (541) with a 9-second period, and the wind is light and cross-off from the SSW at just 6 mph. This is the cleanest we're going to see in the whole outlook. The swell direction lines up well with the break's optimum. That morning is the standout, but it's two weeks out, so don't bank on it just yet.
Saturday the 29th of August still has some size (6ft to 6ft, W swell, 11-12 second period, energy up to 946), but it's onshore and messy. After that, the forecast fades back into small, choppy conditions.
So, for Godrevy, if you can't make that Friday the 28th morning session, the 16-day outlook is mostly a long, flat wait. There are big gaps with no real surf. But that one window is clean and has some power. Keep your fingers crossed, mate.

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.
