The Lowdown
Alright folks, Rusty here. Let’s take a look at what’s on offer for Godrevy over the next couple of weeks.
Honestly, it’s a pretty grim stretch for the most part. The first week and a half is a write-off. We’ve got a lot of wind and messy conditions, with a lot of poor surf flags. A big pulse of swell comes through on the weekend of the 29th and 30th, with 12 ft and 8 ft sets, but the wind is howling from the WSW and NW, making it cross-shore and lumpy. That’s not for the faint-hearted, and being a beginner-friendly spot, it’s a skip. The water temperature is sitting at 64°F, which is a touch warmer than usual for this time of year, but you won’t be feeling it through the wind-chill.
The real standout, the only true chance to get a decent wave, looks to be Wednesday, the 9th of September. It’s a long way out, so keep an eye on it, but the forecast is calling for glassy conditions. The wind is due to swing light and variable, and we’ll have a 6 ft groundswell out of the W with a period of 9 seconds. The combined energy is moderate at 541, so there’s some push. This is the one to pencil in. The break is exposed to the WNW, and while the swell is coming from the west, it’s a good match. It’s a fairly consistent spot, but be aware crowds are often a factor here.
Don’t get your hopes up for the rest. The 7th of September sees a massive 12 ft to 15 ft pulse, but the notes say it’s too big for the break, and with onshore winds, it’s a mess. After the 9th, the wind goes back to a cross-off or fresh breeze, and the swell drops off completely. There’s a gap of a few days with no real recommendations.
So, for the next 16 days, it’s a waiting game. The only window worth chasing is the morning of Wednesday, the 9th.
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.
