The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what’s on the cards for the next couple of weeks at Godrevy. I’ll be straight with you—this is a tough one. The whole 16-day window is looking like a bit of a write-off, so don’t get your hopes up.
Right off the bat, we’ve got nothing. The first few days are flat and messy. Tuesday the 21st is seeing tiny 1ft swell from the WNW with a short period of 10 seconds, and the wind is cross-onshore all day. The combined energy is weak (78), and the water temp is sitting at 64°, which is a touch warmer than normal for this time of year, but that won’t help the waves. "Poor surf conditions" is the name of the game here.
Wednesday the 22nd isn’t any better. The swell picks up to 3ft, but it’s from the north with a horrible 5-second period. The wind is a fresh cross-onshore in the morning, making it lumpy. The energy is still low (75). This is not surfable.
Thursday the 23rd? Still poor. A 3ft northerly swell with a 6-second period, and light cross-shore wind in the morning, but the waves are tiny and weak. The energy drops to 50 in the afternoon. There’s nothing to ride.
Friday the 24th is a joke—0.3ft of swell with a long-ish period of 13 seconds, but that’s a ghost. The energy is just 16. You’d be better off staying home.
We get a tiny pulse on Saturday the 25th afternoon, with 4ft from the WNW, but the period is a shocking 5 seconds and the wind is a fresh cross-onshore. The energy is still weak (85). It’s an onshore, lumpy mess.
Sunday the 26th morning sees the biggest swell of the whole run—5ft from the WNW with a 7-second period, and the wind is onshore. The energy finally climbs to a moderate 174, but the wind is fresh and onshore, making it ugly. The break is exposed, but the conditions are just poor. This is not the day.
Monday the 27th morning is the closest we get to a maybe. The swell is 4ft from the WNW with a 9-second period, and the wind is light cross-shore from the NNE. The energy is moderate (252). The forecast says "marginal surf forecast or questionable tide conditions." It’s not good, but it’s the only time in the whole two weeks that’s even worth a peek. The wind is gentle, so it might be a little cleaner than the rest of this garbage, but don’t expect much. The break is fairly consistent, but the swell is small and weak.
After that, it’s back to nothing. From the 28th all the way through to the 5th of August, we’re looking at tiny swells, short periods, and cross-onshore winds. The energy is mostly in the teens to low 90s. A few days see a little bump—like the 2nd of August with 2ft and 134 energy—but the wind is cross-onshore and the period is short. It’s all poor.
So, what’s the best on offer? Honestly, Monday the 27th morning is the only standout, and even then it’s a stretch. If you’re desperate, you could paddle out for a few small, cleanish waves, but it’s not going to be a session to remember. For the rest of the run, leave the board in the car and go for a walk.
This is a blank run, plain and simple. For this area, it’s not unusual to have a few days like this, but a full two weeks of poor surf is tough. Forecasts can change, so keep an eye on it, but right now? Don’t hold your breath.
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.
Godrevy is 5 km (3 miles) from Camborne. If you plan a holiday in North Cornwall, look for hotels and other accommodation in Camborne. Camborne has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
