7 Day Surf/Wave forecast for Godrevy and Gwithian beaches in St Ives Bay
About Surfing in St Ives Bay, Cornwall
St Ives Bay offers diverse surf experiences depending on your paddling spot. Porthmeor in St Ives, facing northwest into Atlantic swell, delivers punchy hollow peaks when sandbanks align, especially during mid to low tide.
In the main bay, the stretch from Hayle Estuary at the south end to Godrevy at the north consistently catches more swell due to its exposure and wider angle to the Atlantic. Here the waves are generally longer, open and larger. On days when Porthmeor is shoulder-high Gwithian can easily be overhead with size increasing as you move north towards Godrevy Head for a typical westerly swell.
St Ives Bay’s crescent shape provides numerous offshore wind options even in winter as long as the swells are big enough to get into what in summer are normally flat surf spots.
