The Lowdown
Alright, let’s break it down for Kimmeridge Bay. I’m not seeing a single session worth waxing a board for over the entire 16-day period. From Sunday, July 19th all the way through Monday, August 3rd, it’s flat. That’s nearly two weeks of no surf – a real dead spell.
Water temp is around 66°, which is running a little more than 6° warmer than usual for July, so it’s much warmer than average, but without any waves, that’s just trivia for swimmers.
A few mornings are glassy or have light offshore breezes, but no swell to take advantage of. The only blip of any wave energy is on Sunday, August 2nd afternoon, with about 3ft of messy, short-period, onshore-affected swell from the WSW – combined energy sitting at just 27, super weak, and cross-onshore winds to boot. Not worth a second look.
For a spot that’s usually very consistent, this flat run stands out. It’s not typical, but it does happen. Forecasts can always turn around, but right now there’s nothing to paddle for.

Information about the Kimmeridge Bay Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Kimmeridge Bay provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Kimmeridge Bay can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Kimmeridge Bay 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 (Kimmeridge Bay) 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 Kimmeridge Bay 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.
