The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here with a look at the surf ahead for our patch.
Right off the bat, I gotta be honest with you – this forecast is a tough one. We’re looking at a long stretch of small, wind-affected surf with very few redeeming moments. The water temp is sitting at 65°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so at least you won't be freezing your toes off while you're waiting for a wave.
We start off with a real nothing-burger. Saturday the 1st and Sunday the 2nd are just poor, with tiny 2ft to 1.0ft swell and onshore or cross-onshore winds. Not worth wetting a wetsuit.
Monday morning the 3rd offers a glimmer. The swell pushes up to 3ft from the WSW, and the wind goes glassy. The energy is weak (102), but it’s the cleanest we’ll see for a while. It’s surfable, but very ordinary.
Then we hit a wall. From Tuesday the 4th right through to the second week, the swell gets a bit bigger but the wind is a mess. We see 4ft to 6ft of swell mid-week, but it’s chopped up by moderate to fresh cross-shore and onshore winds. It’s the kind of stuff that’s more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing. Early on the 7th, we get another tiny glassy window, but it’s only 1.0ft – barely a ripple.
The 12th of August brings a bit of hope. The morning shows 3ft from the WSW with a gentle offshore breeze from the ESE. The energy is moderate (104). It’s clean, but the swell is still small. It’s the only real standout in the whole 16-day window, and it’s a modest one.
After that, we’re back to small, choppy, and onshore conditions through to the end of the period. Strong winds on the 14th and 15th make it ugly.
The honest truth? There’s no banner day here. Monday the 12th morning is your best bet for a clean, small wave session. It’s not going to be epic, but it’s the only time the stars align even a little. For the rest of it, you’re better off checking the wind forecasts and hoping things change.
Keep the board waxed and the stoke alive. The surf will come back.

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.
