The Lowdown
Alright, let’s take a look at what’s cookin’ here at Godrevy. Rusty here, and I’ll level with you – this forecast is a bit of a grind. The water’s sitting at 64°, right about average for the season, so no complaints there.
The bottom line is, there’s a long stretch of nothing good to start. From Wednesday the 19th, we’ve got a 1.5m cross-on W swell with a real short 6-second period – that’s just lumpy windswill. Thursday the 20th is 2.2m onshore with 30 km/h winds, energy reading 815, but it’s messy. Friday the 21st is small and choppy. Saturday the 22nd morning gives us a fleeting chance: a 1.0m N swell, clean cross-off breeze, but only 104 energy – surfable, but barely.
Then we hit a flat spell. Sunday the 23rd through Tuesday the 25th are all under 0.5m, with energy readings as low as 27. It’s dead. Wednesday the 26th shows a little life with 1.2m, but still sloppy. Thursday the 27th morning is the first real highlight: a 1.4m WNW swell, 10-second period, clean cross-off wind, and energy jumps to 465 – it’s marginal, but it’s the best we’ve seen. The afternoon holds 1.5m from the west, similar energy.
After that, we’re back to a lot of 1.4m to 2.1m west swells with cross-on winds and chop. The energy gets strong, hitting 680 on the 1st of September, but the wind’s no good. Then there’s a big one on Thursday the 3rd of September: a 4.0m WSW swell, 9-second period, cross-off breeze, and a massive 2538 energy reading. It’s clean and powerful, but that’s a beast only for the experts. For most, it’s too big.
So, the best of the run is Thursday the 27th of August for a cleaner, moderate swell, or the 3rd of September if you’re experienced and want a real challenge. Otherwise, there’s a lot of waiting.
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.
