The Lowdown
Alright, I’m Rusty, and here’s the outlook for Godrevy in imperial.
We’re starting off quiet. Sunday the 23rd has rideable waves but they’re small – about 1ft from the southwest with a 14-second period. Energy is weak (81 combined). Wind is light and cross-off, so it’s clean but not exciting. Water temp is normal for this time of year.
Monday the 24th and Tuesday the 25th are poor. Tiny swell and fresh winds spoil things. Wednesday the 26th morning shows a 2ft west swell with offshore wind, but the period is short at 8 seconds, so it’s weak.
Thursday the 27th sees a bump to 6ft in the morning and 6ft in the afternoon from the SSW. Short period again (8 seconds). Energy jumps (383 and 660), but conditions are described as poor with cross-off wind.
Friday the 28th morning is 5ft from the southwest, 9-second period, light onshore wind. It’s okay but not special.
The weekend (29th-30th) is messy – strong cross-onshore winds, lumpy, choppy. Surf drops from 8ft to 5ft by Sunday afternoon but still poor.
Monday the 31st is a beauty. Morning has 3ft from the WSW, light offshore breeze. Afternoon? Glassy. North-northeast wind at just 3 mph, 2ft from the west, period 8 seconds. Clean, small, perfect for beginners. That’s a standout.
Tuesday the 1st of September and Wednesday the 2nd are poor again – small and choppy.
Then Thursday the 3rd of September morning is the real winner. 5ft from the west, 7-second period, combined energy of 319, and light cross-off wind from the south. The call is “expect good surf conditions.” That’s the best of the whole forecast. Good size for intermediates, clean.
Friday the 4th is similar size (5ft, west, 9-second period) but the wind freshens in the afternoon. Morning could still be fun.
The weekend of the 5th-6th of September gets big. Saturday is cross-shore and messy. Sunday the 6th morning has 8ft from the WSW – expert only. The afternoon is also 8ft from the west, with moderate cross-off wind and huge energy (1119). Powerful but less certain this far out.
Monday the 7th of September is blown out with near gale winds. Skip it.
Best bets: Monday the 31st of August for glassy, small surf, and Thursday the 3rd of September morning for the best all-round session.
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.
