Godrevy Spot Guide

One of Cornwall’s most popular surfing beaches, Godrevy picks up plenty of swell, works through the tides, through is noticeably smaller at high. Waves tend to be a bit on the fat side – so bring a board with a bit of extra volume. The Red River is both a source of good sandbars as well as pollution after heavy rains. The rip from the river makes for an easier paddle out when the swell picks up. Any east wind is good, but gets chopped up in a southerly. Easy access from the National Trust car park, which fills rapidly on good days. At lower tides, the beach joins up with Gwithian to the south offering up a huge expanse of peaks and possibilities.
