The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s coming up for Godrevy.
Well, I’m not gonna lie to you, it’s a pretty grim stretch ahead. The first week and a half of this forecast is a write-off for decent surf. From Wednesday the 12th right through to the morning of Monday the 24th, we’re looking at a solid twelve-day dry spell where there’s just nothing worth paddling out for. The wind is stubbornly onshore or cross-onshore, and the few waves that do show up are messy, choppy, or just plain weak. The swell energy is all over the place, but it's never coming with the right wind to make it work for us. There’s a bit of a pulse around the 20th with swell heights hitting 6 ft, but with a strong onshore wind and a raw, lumpy texture, it’s more of a washing machine than a wave. Honestly, for a kite surfer it might be a blast, but for a paddle surfer, it’s a hard pass.
Then, finally, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel. The standout window is Monday the 24th of August. That’s the one to circle on the calendar. The morning kicks off with light rain, but the wind switches to a light offshore from the southeast, blowing at just 6 mph. That’s the kind of glassy, clean morning we’ve been waiting for. The swell comes in at a solid 7 ft from the west, with a combined energy of 532 (moderate), and the period is at 8 seconds. Now, that’s a bit of a short period, so the sets might be a bit crumbly and close together, but with offshore wind, it’ll be clean and lined up. The afternoon holds the same conditions – 7 ft swell, still that light offshore breeze. The water temperature is 65°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so you’ll be comfortable in a spring suit.
It’s a beach break at Godrevy, so with that 7 ft swell, it’s not for the beginners – it’s going to be a bit grunty and the rip will be running. For the experienced crew, it’s the best on offer across the whole 16 days.
After that, Tuesday the 25th through to the end of the period looks like it goes back to the poor side of things, with onshore winds and choppy surf. Make the most of that Monday.
Rusty out.

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.
