Godrevy Surf Forecast and Surf Report

Alright, folks, Rusty here. Let’s have a look at what the next couple of weeks are shaping up to be for our stretch of coast. It’s a bit of a mixed bag, so let’s break it down day by day.

The start of this period is looking pretty flat and messy. We've got a bit of swell early on Monday the 3rd, around `3ft` from the WSW, but it’s pretty weak with only `106` combined energy. The wind is light offshore though, so it might be the cleanest option you’ll find for a few days, even if the waves are just ordinary. Tuesday and Wednesday, we see a bump in size but the wind swings onshore and the quality drops right off. It’s going to be lumpy and cross-chop, not worth your time.

There’s a real dead stretch through the middle of the week and into the weekend. From the 6th through to the 13th, it’s mostly small, weak, and junky. There are a few mornings with clean conditions, but the swell just isn't there to make anything of it. We’re looking at a solid week of waiting, with only tiny waves in the `1ft` to `2ft` range and low energy numbers. It’s a bit of a bummer, to be honest.

Now, let’s talk about the light at the end of the tunnel. The real standout in this whole outlook is Sunday the 16th. This is the one to circle on the calendar. The models are showing a proper pulse of W/NW groundswell pushing in at `8ft` with a period of `8 seconds` and a huge jump in energy – we’re talking `908` units. The wind is forecast to be light and offshore from the southeast in the morning, which should leave Godrevy (Cornwall) looking clean and lined up. This is a solid, powerful wave, but at `8ft`, it’s going to be pushing it for beginners. This is one for the experienced crew.

The day after, Monday the 17th, should still have some decent size left over. We’re looking at `7ft` in the morning, easing to `6ft` by the afternoon, with light cross-offshore winds. It’s not the same quality as the day before, but it should still offer some fun, powerful waves for those who can handle it. After that, it fades out pretty quickly again into small, onshore slop for Tuesday.

So, there you have it. A long, quiet spell leads into one promising day. The water temperature is holding at `65°F`, which is about `2°F` warmer than usual for this time of year, so it feels nice out there even when the surf isn't cooperating. Keep your eyes on that Sunday – it’s got potential, but it’s a long ways out, so we’ll see how it shapes up.

Rusty out.
