Godrevy Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on offer for Godrevy.

Right off the bat, I gotta be straight with you – it’s a tough stretch ahead. We’ve got some swell pulsing through, but the wind and conditions are just not playing ball for most of the next two weeks. There’s no standout session in the near term that I’d get excited about, but there is a little glimmer of hope way down the line if you’re patient.

We start off with a pulse of swell this Saturday afternoon, the 12th. You’re looking at a 6 ft west-southwest swell, but the wind is howling from the southwest at 15 mph, putting a nasty cross-chop on it. The combined energy’s sitting at 421 – moderate – but the quality is poor. It’s a no-go for me.

Sunday the 13th stays messy. Similar size, around 5-5 ft, but the wind’s still cross or cross-onshore. Then Monday the 14th drops off to 4-4 ft, and the wind is still crap. The whole first week is like this – plenty of swell but blown out or choppy. The biggest push comes Wednesday morning the 16th, with a 7 ft west swell at 11 seconds – that’s a long period groundswell, and the combined energy shoots right up to 995. But the wind is onshore from the NNW at 12 mph, so it’s going to be a lumpy, messy wall. For experts only at that size, and even then, it’s not clean.

We do get another decent-looking pulse on Friday the 18th, with a 5 ft west-northwest swell at super long 13 seconds (energy 907), but again, the wind is cross-onshore or cross. It’s frustrating.

Now, here’s the one bright spot. After all that wind, we finally get a window on Monday morning the 21st. It’s a smaller day – only 4 ft from the WNW with a 13-second period – but the wind goes glassy. Absolutely dead calm from the northwest at 3 mph. The combined energy is 530, and the note says “expect very good surf conditions.” That’s the one to aim for. It’s still a week and a half away, so don’t book your life around it, but that glassy morning is the best we’ve got. The water’s sitting at 64°F, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, so it’ll be comfortable too.

After that, the surf fades fast. Tuesday the 22nd is tiny – 2 ft – and it just dribbles away to nothing. From Wednesday the 23rd right through to the end of the month, we’re looking at flat or near-flat conditions under 2 ft. The winds go offshore from the southeast on the 24th and 25th, but with only 1-2 ft on offer, you’d be better off taking a walk.

Honestly, if you’re not free on the morning of the 21st, you might be waiting a while. There’s a big gap of nothing from the 23rd onwards.

Stay patient, and keep an eye on that Monday morning window.

Rusty.
