The Lowdown

Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s be straight with you – this forecast is a tough one. We’re looking at a long, drawn-out period of small, weak, and often messy surf. The only surf spot on the radar is Godrevy, but even for a beginner-friendly spot it’s going to be a grind.

We’re talking about a 16-day run starting from Wednesday, July 29th, and honestly, there’s a lot of dead air in there. The first recommendation is on Wednesday morning, but it’s a real struggle. The water is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year at 65°, which is nice, but that’s about the only highlight.

The first record shows a tiny 2ft swell from the WNW, with a short period of 8 seconds. The wave energy is weak (72), and it’s a cross-onshore wind. That’s a recipe for poor surf conditions. This same story repeats through the end of July and into the start of August. We see a few days, like Thursday the 30th, with a bit more size at 3ft, but the period drops to a horrendous 5 seconds, with onshore wind. It’s just bumpy, weak, and unrideable.

There’s a gap of several days with no real recommendations. The middle of the first week is a write-off. Then, on Sunday, August 2nd, we get a clean morning with a light cross-offshore breeze from the ENE, but the swell is only 2ft. It’s clean, but so small it’s barely a ripple. That’s the closest we get to a silver lining in the first week.

The second week doesn’t offer much more. From August 5th onward, we’re looking at fresh winds, more rain showers, and the swell stays tiny. The wave energy dies off completely, with some afternoons dropping to a combined energy of 14.

The only real standout – and I use the term loosely – is the afternoon of Saturday, August 8th. We get a 3ft swell from the WSW, with an 8-second period. The wind is a cross-offshore from the SSW, which will clean things up. The wave energy jumps to 142 (moderate). For Godrevy, that’s about as good as it gets in this window. It’s still small, but it’s the most promising. The swell direction is a perfect match for the break’s optimum WNW exposure. The water is a touch warmer than normal and the crowds are often there, so expect company.

Any other day, you’re looking at onshore winds, short-period chop, or just plain flatness. If you’re a beginner, this is a tough stretch. The only rideable day is the 8th, and it’s still small. For the rest, the setup looks more interesting for kite surfing than paddle surfing, if you’re into that.

Stay patient, folks. Forecasts can change, but right now, it’s a waiting game.

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.
