Right, Rusty here again. Let’s break it down for Kimmeridge Bay in feet and Fahrenheit.
It’s going to be a lean stretch, and I mean lean. From Thursday the 2nd of July through to Saturday the 11th, there’s almost no surf worth talking about. Swell stays under 2 feet for days, with short, wonky periods that won’t hold a face. Winds are messy—cross or cross-onshore for the most part. A few mornings look glassy, but with no swell behind them, it’s just a flat paddle. Combined swell energy is puny, most of it in the teens or twenties.
We finally get a little bump around Sunday the 12th of July: about 4ft of easterly swell, but with a period of only 5 seconds, it’s gutless and bumpy. Wind stays cross. That’s the start of a week of similar small, short-period stuff. The best of it might be Tuesday morning, 14th July: 3ft from the east-southeast, with a light offshore breeze from the east-northeast—clean conditions. The water temp is about 63°F, which is much warmer than usual for this time of year. Not a bad morning to sit on a reef.
If I was forced to pick one standout, it’s that Tuesday morning, 14th. It’s small but glassy. Otherwise, Friday afternoon, 17th July pushes up to 5ft from the west-southwest, with moderate energy (115), which is the biggest swell of the window. But the wind is cross-onshore, so it’ll be chopped up. Only advanced guys might get something out of it.
So, first 10 days are a bust. The second week offers a few small, clean windows. For beginners, nothing gets big enough to worry about. For the rest of us, it’s mostly a waiting game.
Rusty.

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.
