Godrevy Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s cooking for the next couple of weeks.

To be straight with you, it’s a pretty grim run for the most part. We’re looking at a long stretch of poor surf conditions that starts now and doesn’t really let up until the very end of the period. The first few days are a write-off with tiny, weak swell and dodgy wind.

The only realistic option in the whole window is a very brief window at Godrevy on Saturday morning, 1st of August. It’s not a world-beater, but it’s the only thing that’s even close to worthwhile. We’ve got a tiny 2ft swell rolling in from the WNW, with a 10-second period that gives it a bit of shape. The real winner here is the wind: glassy, dead calm, dead offshore. That’ll have the place looking clean as a whistle. The water is a touch warmer than normal for the time of year at 64°, which is nice. Combined energy is a weak 103, so don’t expect any power, but for a little longboard or a foamy, it’ll be a fun morning. Be aware though, crowds are often here, so there will be a few others out. This is the standout, but it’s a gentle one.

After that, it’s back to the usual. The wind swings onshore again for the rest of the first week of August, and the swell gets bumpy and messy. Gaps of days with no real recommendation. The second week has a bit more size on the 28th of July, with a 6ft swell from the WNW, but the wind is a fresh cross-onshore, and the period is short at 7 seconds. The energy is moderate (267), but the conditions are lumpy and poor. Same story on the 2nd of August: 4ft, moderate energy (257), but onshore chop. The setup here looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing when it’s that blown out.

So, there you have it. A long quiet spell, one tiny glassy morning, then back to the wind. That’s the way it goes sometimes.

Rusty.
