The Lowdown
Alright, Rusty here. Let's have a look at what we’ve got coming up for the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a pretty grim run for the most part. We’ve got a massive gap of poor conditions right through the middle of the period, so don't get your hopes up for a while. The only real standout comes right at the very end of the forecast.
Things start off with a bit of a tease. Wednesday morning, August 12th, at Godrevy, we’ve got a modest 3 ft west swell with a period of 10 seconds, and the wind is a clean offshore from the southeast. The water is sitting at 65°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year. The combined energy is weak (127), so it’s not going to be powerful, but it’s clean and surfable – a decent little session for a beginner. Wednesday afternoon stays clean with a cross-offshore breeze, but the swell is still small.
Then it all goes south. From Thursday the 13th right through to the end of the month, it’s a long stretch of poor surf conditions. The wind turns onshore or cross-onshore, the swell is either small or junky, and the energy is low to moderate. We get a bit of a bump in swell around the 19th and 20th, with the 20th showing a 7 ft west-northwest swell and a strong energy reading of 610, but it’s accompanied by a strong 25 mph cross-onshore wind. The setup is so messy that it’s more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing at that point – definitely not one for the surfboard.
The light at the end of the tunnel comes on Friday, August 21st. The morning is the pick of the entire period. The wind drops to a light 6 mph from the east, giving us a clean cross-offshore breeze, and the swell is a solid 4 ft from the west with an 8-second period. The combined energy is moderate (255), and the conditions are described as "good surf conditions." It’s not a massive swell, but after all that junk, it’s going to feel like a dream. The break is fairly consistent, but crowds are often at Godrevy, so get there early if you want a piece of it.
The rest of the forecast after that fades back into small, weak, and poor conditions, so the 21st is your only real window. Don't sleep on it.

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.
