The Lowdown
Alright, surfers, let’s get into it. I’m looking at the next 16 days for Godrevy, and I’ve got to be honest with you – it’s a tough stretch. The forecast is a long, drawn-out run of poor surf conditions, with hardly a window to get excited about. The water temp is sitting at 65°F at first light, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so that’s a small comfort if you’re just planning a paddle, but for waves? It’s bleak.
The first real glimmer doesn’t come until way down the line. Right now, Sunday morning is tiny with 2ft swell from the west, and the energy is weak (39). It’s mostly flat and poor. We’ve got a few days of absolute rubbish – Monday through the end of the first week sees swell picking up a bit but getting hammered by onshore and cross-shore winds. Tuesday morning brings 5ft from the southwest, but with a fresh 16 mph cross-off wind, it’s going to be a mess. Wednesday jumps to 7ft from the west, but it’s cross-on at 22 mph, just lumpy and ugly. The energy climbs but the quality is zero.
There’s a proper gap of nothing until the second week starts to look a little more interesting. On Thursday, August 13th, we finally see a bit of a pulse – 3ft from the WSW, period of 9 seconds, with gentle cross-on winds. The energy is moderate (121), but it’s still labelled as poor. Not worth a special trip.
The standout, if you can call it that, comes on Friday, August 14th morning. We get 6ft of swell from the WSW, period of 8 seconds, and a light breeze from the NNE that’s cross-shore. The energy is moderate (448), and it’s the only time the forecast mentions “marginal” conditions instead of “poor.” That’s about as good as it gets. The wind is light, which could keep things fairly clean, but the swell direction isn’t ideal for Godrevy’s optimum from the WNW. Still, if you’re desperate, this is your window. Expect crowds, as it’s often busy here. After that, Saturday and Sunday see the swell hold around 6ft to 8ft, but the wind swings onshore or cross-on again, ruining the quality.
Bottom line: don’t hold your breath. The best bet is the morning of Friday, August 14th, with 6ft from the WSW and light cross-shore wind. It’s not a classic, but it’s the only thing on the menu. The forecast confidence is low for the second week, but that’s your best shot.

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.
